The Dark Side of Game Development: Cancelled Games and the Future of Gaming.

TL;DR Summary
Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida says that making video games is difficult and expensive, and as a result, PlayStation cancels many games in order to save developers from getting stuck on projects that aren't working out. While it may be painful for those involved, canceling projects can save studios and publishers a lot of money and future pain. Yoshida still wants Sony and other developers to take creative risks instead of the industry becoming dominated by live-service games.
