  I never heard of it, and I tend to be frequently looking at upcoming releases. So, they failed step one in getting people to buy the thing.

    My learning about a game for the first time from the shut down announcement is becoming a trend!

      It’s hard in today’s media landscape to break through the noise.

      So many games that are fun, not fantastic headliner by any means, but still enjoyable games, fall through the cracks, lost in a sea of slop and asset flips.

      No one wants to risk money on a mid game that has an incredibly high chance of being just another slop title so they wait for the next big blockbuster title taking over YouTube and Twitch streams.

      Modern gaming fucking sucks.

    On top of that it just seemed like it was trying to confuse people and copycat of the other more popular live-service set around a giant cube.

  The reviews are decimating it, yet the owners will have learned nothing.

  This is why I generally avoid live services, and new releases from devs I have never heard of. For a new game I have found giving it a month or two to let the hype die down, then check if it’s still worth getting.

  If people still love it, like Valheim, it’s probably a safe buy.
