10 Video Games That Were Killed By Executive Meddling

10. Sea Of Thieves

Sea of Thieves was No Man's Sky 2.0. It intended to be the ultimate online pirate game, with ships, plunder and endless open seas fun. It promised a lot and developed very little. Unlike No Man's Sky, however, the game's release state was not a result of a lack of talent but a lack of time.

Following the E3 2016, Microsoft was under a lot of pressure to deliver more titles for the Xbox, prompting their somewhat humorous display of "exclusive" games the following year.

One of the actual exclusives was Sea of Thieves, and upon the launch of the game, it was incredibly clear that production had been ramped up in order to meet the exclusive title demands.

The game was unfinished. It barely had enough content to satisfy a closed beta, and as it released it became clear that it was full of a whole load of nothing. All because it was rushed to the shelves and the talent behind the game didn't have the chance to make something decent.

At least it had the multiplayer it promised... *cough cough* 'No Man's Sky' *cough cough*
