Added DiffLines:
* DolledUpInstallment: The game started development as a unrelated fantasy RPG but it was turned into a "prologue" for the ''Kingdoms of Amalur'' franchise due to the MMORPG Project Copernicus' slow pre-production and the need to release a product in a few years.

* StillbornFranchise: 38 Studios had high hopes for the Amalur franchise, but the events surrounding its closure lead to the rights to the game being held by the State of Rhode Island. The State attempted to auction off the intellectual property rights but were unable to find a buyer for them... until THQ Nordic acquired the IP in 2018. A remaster was then confirmed for 2020 with a brand new expansion, ''Fatesworn'', to follow in 2021

WebVideo/MattMcMuscles doing a ''Wha Happun?'' video on the game's production also helped give it some more attention.

** In the end, everybody got hurt. Over three hundred people were let go from the jobs Rhode Island wanted so badly. Schilling claims to have lost his entire fortune from his baseball career, and had to auction the bloody sock. Chafee decided not to seek a second term. The state is suing Schilling, claiming he knew the game was unlikely to succeed (not hard to have seen that coming, since he couldn't get financing in Boston, where there are tons of venture capitalists focused on tech companies) and was attempting to defraud the state. The result: nothing. The investigation concluded that while it was a huge fiasco that there was not criminal intent. As a Rhode Island police superintendent said "A bad deal doesn't always equate to an indictment."
