Does NBC’s Heroes make sense anymore? Does anyone care? Apparently, Ubisoft doesn’t think so. The company has pulled the plug on its Heroes video game, which was announced more than a year ago. Since then, the TV series has gone from a pop-culture hit to a tangle of incoherent stories, so the French publisher decided to cut its losses. Ubisoft got burned earlier this year when Lost: Via Domus, its tie-in to another cultish serialized TV drama, only sold about 100,000 copies. Which raises the question: Does it make sense to produce games based on ongoing television series when characters may die and plots may shift dramatically during the development cycle?

I had to laugh when I read this. That show has seriously lost its way. Too much time travel/multiple timelines/returning from the dead. It crossed the line from intriguing to confusingly uninteresting.
