It's like if you ordered a custom PC. You pay in advance, go to pick it up after a more than reasonable amount of build time (let's say, 12 YEARS!), and the guy that you paid is sitting there with palms out saying "We ran out of money just before we finished, and, um, you can't have it - Sorry".
Bad business is bad business. Sorry.

"They fund 3DR with $12 mil"
But they DIDN'T do that(and it doesn't say so in that article either), those $12 million(Actually it was later re-negotiated down a bit) where paid to Atari for the publishing rights.
