This comprehensive work provides insight into over 30 years of Blizzard's innovative but often troubled game development. Among the many games shelved include a Star Wars strategy title and the notorious *StarCraft: Ghost*, a third-person shooter that never saw the light of day. Other notable cancellations include *Titan*, an ill-fated MMO project, and *Project X*, a forgotten title that underwent multiple concept changes. Schreier compiles these stories based on extensive interviews, painting a vivid picture of Blizzard’s creative ambitions and challenges within the industry.

Schreier’s book reveals several notable canceled Blizzard games, including *StarCraft: Ghost*, a Star Wars strategy game, and *Titan*, a failed MMO project. The book also discusses projects like *Nomad*, which aimed to be a squad-based strategy game, and *Orbis*, a mobile AR game inspired by Pokémon GO.

Despite its successes, the company has a long list of canceled games that reflect the complexities of game development in the competitive AAA landscape. Projects like *StarCraft: Ghost* generated considerable hype before being shelved, showcasing the difficulties even established developers face in bringing ambitious ideas to fruition.
