How come there just can't be a normal Xbox Original?

I know I shouldn't take such a silly thing so seriously, but it pains me to see Jade Empire as a featured XBO INSTEAD OF Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Microsoft, are you mad?!?!?!?!

That game wasn't half bad, I guess people were expecting too much of it.

Ahh...so I am guessing we will never see Psi-Ops in these parts, right, Microsoft?  Well, I am curious if this is even going to sell, like, at all.

Psiops will not be seen because Psiops literally plagerised the entire plot, and games concept from a book, Which is why they never made a sequal *psiops actually sold adequetly for a sequal to be made*
*edit screen play not book*

It probably has more to do with licensing and how easily it was to put them into a digital format. Knights of the Old Republic is a Star Wars game. Thus its licensing is probably buried under red tape.

PsiOps was supposed to get a sequel but it got canned, supposedly it wasn't plagiarized but there was a lawsuit against Midway by a guy who wrote a screenplay who thought his work and Midway's were extremely similar. Also, Second Sight came out around the same time and had similar concepts, but that wasn't plagiarized either. Lawsuits like this happen all the time in the entertainment world, with so many people creating so many different things it's not uncommon for multiple groups of people to create similar works.

Real world example: I've been to shows and seen bands play songs that sound nearly identical to songs I've written even though I've never heard those songs ever in my life. There's no way they could've stolen the song, because I hadn't shown anyone else yet. I usually wind up throwing those songs out though so I don't get accused of song theft. Shit like that happens more often than you'd think, but I've only had to completely scrap songs twice that I can remember.
