Direct-to-video
Direct-to-video or straight-to-video refers to the release of a film, TV series, short or special to the public immediately on home video formats rather than an initial theatrical release or television premiere. This distribution strategy was prevalent before streaming platforms came to dominate the TV and movie distribution markets. Because inferior sequels or prequels of larger-budget films may be released direct-to-video, review references to direct-to-video releases are often pejorative. Direct-to-video release has also become profitable for independent filmmakers and smaller companies. Some direct-to-video genre films (with a high-profile star) can generate well in excess of $50 million revenue worldwide. Reasons for releasing direct to video A production studio may decide not to generally release a TV show or film for several possible reasons: a low budget, a lack of support from a TV network, negative reviews, its controversial nature, that it may appeal to a small ni ...

Dead Sun
''Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun'' was an action-adventure video game developed by Climax Studios for Square Enix Europe, with an accompanying multiplayer component developed separately by Psyonix. Conceived as the sixth entry in the ''Legacy of Kain'' series, ''Dead Sun'' entered production for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox 360. However, it was cancelled in 2012 following three years of work, and initially remained undisclosed to the public. Square Enix Europe and Psyonix salvaged the planned multiplayer mode, which they reconceptualized as ''Nosgoth'', a standalone free-to-play title. A poster at NeoGAF, an internet forum, unearthed ''Dead Sun'' in an extensive report published shortly after Nosgoth's announcement in 2013. The report publicized media and accounts from sources in Climax Studios. Square Enix Europe subsequently acknowledged the scrapped project with the conclusion that ''Dead Sun'' "just wasn't the right game, at the right time". Several artic ...
