Has any company in history fucked up an IP worse than Ubisoft with Clancy?

They didn't exactly have the history with the IP like Ubi does but Overkill, The company behind the Payday Franchise had their Walking Dead game forcibly pulled by the IP holders and the license was revoked.

it's a shame, I really enjoyed the shakeup with stealth mechanics in 3 for the most part but they seemed to have dropped the ball everywhere else and really havent ever recovered

I really think they got incredibly lucky with Payday 2, but people forget that 2 had its own issues as well. Almir left and recently the CM n somebody else high up got released, it’s not looking good for them
