    Literally the first I heard of this game has been all the negative coverage in the past couple of days. Where were all these people who were apparently hyped and clamouring to play this game even coming from?

        Wasn’t that like six years ago, though? At the time, it looked like a beautiful game. Still looks nice, when it loads, but it’s not fun to play.

      I had it wishlisted in Steam since January when I saw it pop up in my discovery queue and was a bit interested in it, but I’ve rarely seen anyone talk about it at all before release. It apparently also took the spot of the 2nd most wishlisted game on Steam. Never bought it since I usually wait a few months after release to buy any game in case things like this happen.

      There’s a whole lot of weird surrounding everything about this game

      Edit: The game studio announced they are shutting down now

        I also had it wishlisted forever, but I had seen plenty of people commenting about how this developer group has a track record of over promising and under delivering. They also had changed the release timeframe several times, and even had a trademark dispute about the name with a calendar app that caused the game to be delisted from Steam.

    I don’t really understand people who bought this pile of crap. Like I get it that you are hyped, and wanna get into the game, but when I’m hyped for a game, no matter what, I read up about reviews, watch videos, etc before actually buying it.
    Just shows how eager people are to throw away their money without knowing any better.

      The one dude I know who bought said he figured it was just server issues or something, and that the game was as advertised.

      He played for like 8 hours and got about ~45 minutes of actual gameplay, he’s hoping for a refund given the circumstances.

        Or, you know… just factor in how stupid the average overconsumer is.

            Or when I bought Anthem on the PS4, and after a few days of really slow loading screens, I re-bought Anthem on PC…
