Read some reviews, the flaws don't sound great. It also didn't get very high ratings, so probably they saw the writing on the wall for this one.

Sleeper hits don't make money in games too, I guess, with the way sales are done. Usually most of the money is made within the first month or so, right? I'm guessing they did some analysis and felt that the money wouldn't be coming in.
