Bear in mind that most of those announcements were made around the release of AE, when they were massively successful, well respected, and world-renowned.
Also, they didn't happen in 'recent history'.

Leading back to my first point, they should not have opened their mouth so soon with so many plans. And the announcements continued to come well after they had entered into instability, Citizens Siege being a prime example.
I never said they happened in recent history, I meant I can't think of any games company that has come remotely close to so much disappointment to compare them to in recent history, as people were acting as if this sort of thing happens with games companies all the time.
I love Oddworld as much as the next schmuck, and it's a shame what happened to the company and for one reason or another these games never hit the shelves. But there was a big fuckup and not even the biggest fanboy can defend them on that one.
