I genuinely hope we are not headed toward significant layoffs over there as a result of this game.
Warner Bros. having the artists take the L for management’s poor decisions? They should be safe, that’s totally not gonna happen /s
200-300 active players seems to be gamers’ collective signal of, “fuck you for putting in stupid microtransaction live-service grindfests, you removed what makes games worth playing, so we ain’t playin’ them”. Payday 3 is around the same level.
I’d wager that’s the floor because a non-trivial portion of that 2-300 are bots or something.
Yeah, it could be the people that launch every game in their library once a day for cards or something.
When a dev abandon a live service game, I hope they do what Marvel’s Avengers did: patch the game to work offline, unlock all paid contents, then has one final big discount before shutting everything off.
