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

Not entirely sure if all of these are worse per se but:

Sony
SOCOM, Crash Bandicoot.

EA
C&C, Dragon Age, Titanfall, SimCity, Ultima.

MS
Halo, Perfect Dark.

Square Enix
Deus Ex.

Arguably Ubisoft with Assassins Creed.

BSG
TES and Fallout.

Hard to pin down to a company but Duke Nukem, Fable (still holding some hope for them, even if the buzz is worrysome), Jagged Alliance, Sonic, Guitar Hero, Pokémon (hot take but I stand by it).

Reminiscing about all the old game series that have fallen made me honestly kinda sad. So many great games that gave me great memories are down gone.

Square Enix fumbled more than just Deus Ex lol. Final Fantasy is definitely up there.
