* DevelopmentHell: Movie rights were optioned while the franchise was poised as Eidos's next breakout IP, with names like Creator/GerardButler and Creator/VinDiesel attached, but the series' lukewarm reception and Square Enix and even IO Interactive themselves not considering it a priority eventually iced it.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The reason for the second game existing- IO wanted to go back to Hitman and make ''[[VideoGame/HitmanAbsolution Absolution]]'', scheduled for a 2009/2010 release date, but Eidos decided that Kane and Lynch would be a big franchise and ordered them to make it- some fans say that Dog Days is bad on purpose because of it.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: Eidos seem to have been far more in love with the series than most gamers and even IO Interactive themselves were, pouring a huge amount of effort into marketing the first game and telling IO to abandon all their other franchises in favor of focusing exclusively on ''Kane and Lynch'' games. This ended when Eidos was bought out by Creator/SquareEnix.
