Hellraid looked like it was going to be an awesome spooky fantasy game but then they turned it into a shitty dying light dlc.

There was this awesome cooperative programming game called Leap Day from SpryFox. You would login and set up your automated citizens, collecting items, combining items, items with people in neighboring sections to defeat a boss in the middle, but the boss could only be completed by using items from your neighbors. Over time you would gain money for items you brought back to your base and every minute the day on it would resent and everyone go out and collect the same items again. You would have to build and rebuild your area to make enough factories to develop what you needed. I don’t think I’m it justice. I miss it all the time.
So I have three different typ of games from the top of my head.
A game I know was a thing that got cancelled. Life by You I am so pissed it got caned. I was looking forward to it so so much.
Then a game I don't really know if it actually was a thing, I heard about it after it was cancelled, but I can't really find much about it. Is The Sinister Six it was apparently a game about the Spider-man super villain group of the same name, as they appertaining in Insomniac's spider man games. All I really remember is that you were supposed to play as the villains and it sounded good, I however only heard about it after it was caned so I really don't know much more about it.
And then there is this game that was never a thing, but an April fools joke in 2015. There would be a cross over game between The Sims and GTA. I got so excited about it, it still sounds like it could have been awesome.
Those are some different typs of cancelled games that I really miss.
C&C Generals 2, they got canceled and then made in to a mobile game. I considerd staying 10 hours in line to try it out at gamescom in köln 10-12 years ago, decided to get drunk instead.

Star Wars 1313 and Battlefront 3.
And for books it's the unfinished Republic/Imperial Commando series by Karen Traviss
This is before my time but I remember reading about a canceled movie tie-in game for Star Trek: First Contact.
Thank you!
