Kaio: King of Pirates' cancellation cost Marvelous $3.8 million

Remember back when Kaio: King of Pirates was a game slated for 3DS? Inafune was planning to bring the game to the portal, but after years of delays, the project was scrapped altogether. Turns out the game's death hurt more than Inafune. Marvelous, who had scooped up rights to the game, lost around 3.8 million dollars during the 4-years the game was in development.
