What product or service is conceptually great but poorly executed?


I am curious about products or services you've had experience with that had a stellar vision but were badly implemented. What was it and how did it die on the vine? Bad UI/UX? Terrible customer service? Failure to scale or listen to customers?

Cyberpunk 2077. Stunning graphics and soundtrack, a setting with potential. Serious performance issues, lack of competent AI, many other corners cut.

Management did not listen to people "in the trenches", should have delayed it at least 1 year.
