Final Fantasy XIV, Square's second attempt at an MMO. It was live for like a week before they pulled it from the shelves, gave everyone who had already bought it free access to it until it was fixed (they are just now entering closedBeta on the new version, almost 2 years later) and promised to rerelease it after pretty much completely redoing the game.

Idk if its due to it being awful. FF14 was BAD it wasn't unplayable.

Simcity is unplayable (due to tutorial loops, server issues, etc)

no it was because it was bad enough that Square felt the need to pull it from shelves, start over, and publicly apologize for how bad it was.

You're forgetting when Valve pulled WarZ off of Steam.

Which was due to 90% of the description being lies. :-/

So we're up to 3 pulled games, any others?
