They always said this game was going to be niche. They are getting what they asked for I guess. The problem is, unless niche means whales, the game cannot survive long on a niche market. If they could have waited until Beta to go on Steam, they might have had better results. Everyone knows this , but as stated, clearly the funds must be drying out. Despite the recent hick-ups, the game did actually do better than I thought it was going to do on the first day.

How is it possible that they can't even manage Discord? I mean login server issues, DDOS, overloaded servers were always gonna be a problem...but Discord? They failed at just having Discord accounts that work??

Why in the world would you release a game, and within 24 hours, have a 1.9gig patch for it already... The 3 hour downtime after the servers went down (someone said 7 times) was to be expected though. A peak of ~26k players doesnt seem like it went very far with word of mouth or marketing, also.

Not sure it's marketing (although if I didn't check this thread, I wouldn't have even known it was going into EA).

It's more that I have zero faith in the team to do anything worthwhile with the game. Maybe 5 years ago I would've been onboard, but everything I've seen about this has been a disaster. And this just looks like a cash grab before they finally give up.

Their 30k concurrent numbers (28,490 right now) support at a minimum 250k box sales, probably closer to 400k, what are you talking about?

wtf are you talking about? You said it had low sales figures on steam, and it was pie in the sky to think 100k. I posted pics from steam charts, you are wildly wrong on both fronts. It's being outsold only by Clair Obscura which just swept the video game awards and on sale which makes sense.

I have no vested interest, not even following this game. You can hate on it all you want but no reason to lie

If it ended up getting a big Christmas sale where I could pick it up for 20 bucks, I'd try it. I'm not interested enough in the game to pay $40+ on it.

I bought it but may have made a mistake. The concurrent is low because some of us can’t get on. I tried for several hours yesterday and couldn’t even log in, that was pretty dumb of me I guess to buy so soon. Can’t remember last time I paid for something that I couldnt even log into after hours of trying, even pantheon wasn’t this trash
