10 Dumbest Reasons Why Video Games Were Cancelled

10. Pirates Of The Caribbean: Armada Of The Damned

Nobody thought the Pirates of the Caribbean film would be good, but it went on to become a billion-dollar franchise, spawning sequels, reinvigorating Johnny Depp's career, and being the biggest thing to come out of Disney for a decade.

Naturally, the company merchandised the hell out of the Pirates series.

Surprisingly, Disney didn't seem to focus much on video games. There have been a few Pirates games but the quality ranges from mediocre to terrible. So when Propaganda Games released a stunning trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned, it looked like Disney had sorted out its priorities.

Armada of the Damned was a prequel, and would focus on completely different characters, which was a smart move since the game didn't come across as a rushed movie tie-in.

Sadly, Disney scrapped it to focus on the movie tie-in, Tron: Evolution, to prepare for the release of the film, Tron: Legacy.

Disney assumed the film would be such a hit, it would become the next big franchise. Sadly, Tron: Evolution didn't do well at the box office, the franchise was scrapped, and the game was terrible.

This means Pirates: Armada of the Damned was canned... for nothing.
