The Gollum game went down so badly that the studio is getting out of the game making business, while rumors for various remakes abound.

I think you need to take the monetization into account as well. The game was a complete mess. At $20 you could maybe get away with saying, "aww, nice job for trying, I hope you learned stuff for next time!" This was a full price game, they knew what they had, this was an attempt to claw money back with a shovelware release.

I'm a little bit over the idea of feeling bad for employees at studios that are predatory and anti consumer. If there are talented and motivated creatives as we like to think, moving on from these companies can help us get great indie games and reshuffle talent in the overall industry. Bad studios and publishers going down is good for the herd.
