They could have built 2 Concords for the cost of that game.
I’m surprised by the lack of buzz for it when it came out. Unless it’s unplayable due to bugs, it usually takes a few days to a week for everyone to figure out that a game sucks and for the number of players to drop. This thing seems to have been dead on arrival which is a bigger mystery.
Releasing into a saturated market
zero unique features compared to competition
not free to play like the competition
Boring, generic-looking characters
zero marketing/promotion before release
No linux support
I mean is it really a mystery why it was dead on arrival?
No linux support
Well, you got 4% max that care about that, the rest though.
And 400mil and no marketing is surprising as usually it seems to go the other way, at least they delivered something… god the bar for AAA is low, but not wasting money on poorly targeted ads and otherwise hyping is new

I don’t doubt it was expensive but Colin Moriarty is a grifter
What did he do?
400 million dollar investment fraud scheme you say?Nah just good old incompetence. Damn shame.
My favourite part of the saga is that the marketing was poor and yet they managed to get the game represented in an Amazon show
