It most likely will be sold off to some discount reseller.  There are
companies that do just that.  Not sure it's really going to be something
they'd want though, if I recall, it got parental advisory stickers on it
due to language, and the outlets for that stuff is very limited.  And,
there's just so much of bad product that can be pushed into that el-cheapo
pipeline too.

It's just bad decisions all the way around.  Everyone drank the Kool-Aide.
(In that office, not here mind you).
