Well, the big game companies have really become so predictable in their failings that they are practically parodies of themselves. All the big nasty bombs that have dropped on the industry in the past few months were easily expected, just based on their respective company's typical behavior. Hell, even Nintendo's (much as I love'm) wonky online service and abysmal online modes in Smash were a disappointment, but absolutely no surprise. None of the mistakes the big companies have been making have been a surprise, it's their typical MO. The only surprise is that gamers are ACTUALLY starting to withhold their money for this sort of crap.
