I don't know anything about the game, maybe there was some big outrage I don't know. Everyone always mad about games these days.
But that's kind of sad. Doesn't make me happy to see success siloed so much these days. In this industry it feels like there's no space for anyone but the giant success stories, or the bedroom developer that can live on tiny indie sales
There isn't any outrage or anything, I wouldn't feel too bad about it because it seems like an extremely generic shooter with mictrotransactions and menus that look exactly like Destiny. It just had terrible marketing and was very uninspired.
Also the minimum specs are so high that most people can't play it, and it runs very poorly.
If there was big outrage it would have more sales.
It was put out by EA, and this flop very likely solidifies their logic that "Singleplayer games don't sell" - although I'm sure most people around here would confidently say it failed for other reasons.
