This is a fighting game without offline multiplayer. Brilliant decision.
People vote with their wallet repeatedly against live service games, and they keep releasing them. Eventually they’ll stop, right? Right?
Now that I think about it, this idea was probably a good one for standard release, not live service. People get enticed by IP rights even if they don’t necessarily devote hundreds of hours to a game like this.
It works for things like Injustice. They see a Batman/Superman fighting game even if they aren’t going to hit Gold rank in competitive. Even if they only hit 10 hours, they paid the entry price.
Yes but it’ll take years. Just keep the pressure up
The game was in a pretty rough state when they relaunched it, but they have been slowly improving it a bit at a time (it often feels like 2 steps forward, 1 step back). I feel like the game is in a pretty good spot though. I enjoy it and am looking forward to season 4.
They would’ve done better with the IP to license it to Nintendo. Smash is the end all for this type of game.
That’s definitively untrue, and why would Nintendo take that deal anyway?
Reading this headline feels so fucking surreal right now. Who could possibly care?
Anyone who wants to know more about what people are responding to in the industry.
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to say nobody would or should care I just mean my head has been so filled with anxious thoughts that hearing about a corporate video game not doing well profit-wise sounds like an onion article headline to me.
Again, I don’t mean to say it’s irrelevant it just sounds irrelevant
