	The idea is to cut your losses...  I've heard of companies
spending $90k to produce a game... basically, it goes into printing
and advertising.  If you've sunk $50+k into the development of a game
and the market has suddenly deteriorated, they draw the line
somewhere.

	I don't agree with it, but that's life.
