What poor judgement are you talking about?
This more than anything points to the bigger failure being on MS side, and particular the marketing department.
This is a pretty poor argument. I don't own an XBone, and I probably never would've played Scalebound, but discussing the cancellation of a game, from a company whose games I generally enjoy, is something I'd definitely participate in. This isn't the gotcha you seem to think it is.Look at the replies numbers to these Scalebound threads on the old place.

And yet it shows there was very little interest in the game before it's cancellation.
Except it was one of the most anticipated Xbox games on the old place.

Great argument.
Maybe if you conveniently ignore where most of the initial discussion took place.

When so few details and media are released, discussion's going to inevitably drop off until something major happens. In this case, the cancellation, which brought out people who may not be interested in buying it, but are well within their rights to acknowledge this as a shitty thing to happen.
Seriously, I didn't give a shit about Scalebound before or when it got canceled.
I was relating why someone (myself for example) might participate in a big news thread, but not a small comic book announcement thread. Just because you were talking to someone else doesn't mean I can't point out how poor your argument is.
Really? I found most PG games to be incredibly polished imo.

And sorry, I'll uncrop that image for you a little.
It was also one of the most criticised, and clearly not one that people cared enough to discuss until it was cancelled. I posted links to threads where it was basically universally criticised.
Platinum and Kamiya both said they pitched the idea for Scalebound to a bunch of publishers over the years. There may very well be a good reason nobody else picked it up. Also, you'd think a director with a "perfect" record would manage to get a project running above 15fps at the very least.
They were making a title literally more ambitious than anything else they've ever done on top of using a new engine instead of their in-house one. The combination of those two factors is hella risky for any studio.
I played Fable Legends for 2 years up until its last day. The game started out bad yeah. And then the devs turned it around. The last few months it was really good and one of the best looking games around. It wasn't finished though and the devs obviously needed more time and money to get in more content. The game was already a huge money sink by that point and that is what killed it.
Legends was heavily downgraded in later builds. Framerate was very rough in the first builds. At the end the game was just a terrible free 2 play grind fest. Sure it had the Fable Artstyle but everything else was just terrible
All you're showing is that negative news can garner more attention than positive news. That is nothing new.Look at the replies numbers to these Scalebound threads on the old place.
