  Yeah, it’s not the worst deal in the world for them, but it does show how the game definitely didn’t take off like a free to play game needs to to survive.

      It released. They’ve been juicing fighting game tournaments, and somehow the game made its way to NorthernLion, so I don’t know if that was their marketing or not. I don’t know what they did differently here than marketing for something like Valorant, but I only really saw ads for Valorant around the time that it came to consoles, which 2XKO has now done.
