Yes, that's a definite possibility. I feel like it's less of a risk with a videogame that's got scope limitations, especially in relations to the system it has to run on, but it happens regularly with all sorts of books, more so the ones published on a regular tight schedule (think weekly comic books or webnovels). But even publications without deadlines can get impacted if the author isn't disciplined. George R. R. Martin famously wrote himself into a corner around the time of A Dance with Dragons and nobody has any hope left he'll get around to finishing ASOIAF. He tried to get away with it by using a cathedral and bazaar metaphor.
- the_af 5y ago> "nobody has any hope left he'll get around to finishing ASOIAF" At this point I think he's fed up with the story and wants to move on to other things, as is his right (I would, too!), but there's no polite way of saying this without upsetting fans. In this day and age, you really don't want to upset fans and their accompanying hordes of vicious trolls. I wonder if it's wise at all, art-wise, to embark on a decades long book series. Had this been one book or even a trilogy, we all would have moved to greener pastures by now, satisfied with its ending. I say this as a fan of both books and TV show!
