  • For games and other media that gets “released”. Cancelled is usually the term that gets used if it doesn’t come out.

    A film that is no longer in the cinema doesn’t get said it was cancelled for example.

    For games that cease to be playable after release they are more often described as being shut down or being sunset. Like I’ve never read about an ongoing game being cancelled unless they were specifically talking about an originally upcoming piece of dlc or content being cancelled.





  • Star wars 1313 was THE game I was waiting for. Got very sad when it got cancelled.

    Also all of the in-progress and for some completed content that just got shelved for Disney infinity because the new management at Disney forgot why games mattered. (Same time when they absolutely gutted lucasarts). Just for them to start from scratch again a few years later when they realised they still need a videogame presence. Which makes the losses of what could have been hurt more.
