A good producer can know whether their game is worth publishing or not, and signal any critical issues to management/publisher/whoever in charge. having a project cancelled is never a happy situation, but being able to recommend to cancel one's project is one of the qualities of the best producers. What an optimistic comment :) !! as an individual, one shouldn’t lose faith. but from a business perspective… sometimes it is wiser to kill the project you are working on.

Just don't quit on every little hardship. A good reason to quit or at least do major changes is when you've prototyped your game, and found that it's never going to be worthwhile.
