A statement confirming the closure led to a widespread belief that EA killed the project, which was described as "a story-based, linear adventure game," in order to focus on multiplayer joints instead, which have far greater monetization potential.  >An in-depth Kotaku report last week made it clear that the situation wasn't quite so simple—the project was in trouble almost right from the start, and so by extension was the studio—but concerns about return on investment, particularly from a single-player game in a big-budget, hit-or-flop market, were undeniably a major factor. Speaking during a quarterly earnings call to investors yesterday (via Seeking Alpha), EA CEO Andrew Wilson said basically the same thing.
