* CreatorKiller: The failure of ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' causes Creator/EidosInteractive to go out of business much earlier, as it receives much more backlash for failing to meet the lofty expectations set by Peter Molyneux. Eidos ends up selling Creator/CrystalDynamics, ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'', and ''VideoGame/{{Gex}}'' to [[Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment Sony]], Ion Storm and ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' to Creator/{{Acclaim}}, and eventually sells itself wholly to Apple Inc. Meanwhile, Creator/AvalancheStudios ends up presenting their ''Rico: Terror In the Tropics'' demo to Nintendo, who decide to retool it into a new ''VideoGame/{{Startropics}}'' game, while Creator/MidwayGames takes over publishing duties for Creator/IOInteractive's ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' series.

''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'' gets delayed by two years, due to Denis Dyack and Creator/SiliconKnights wanting to fully take advantage of the Nintendo X's graphical power. This ends up being a boon to the game, as it ends up selling better than it did in RealLife, mainly due to them pushing it as the "scariest game ever made" due to its impressive graphics.
