When the game came out back in 2024 it barely surpassed 1000 players on steam, eventually the servers were shut down a fortnight after it was released: so the game didn't even last that long. Development costs were not cheap either, since Sony invested $400,000,000 into the project for it to fall apart upon release, talk about a waste of investors money. Have you played it at the time? If so, what made it a shit game that's forgotten?

No advertising of note, no one to goon over. Every character was kinda ugly.

    It seems like they deliberately made characters that nobody would ever make porn of and it never occurred to them that bland, boring characters would be a problem.

    I'm 100% sure that rule 34 of Overwatch has probably brought a solid 10% of its playerbase in. Gooners are not to be underestimated.

    My pet theory on why Betamax and HD-DVD failed is in small part because porn was more difficult to put on them compared to VHS and Bluray respectively.

    Also the fact that Blu-ray could play regular DVDs but HD DVD was a different size standard and couldn't play DVDs. Not help by the fact that most people didn't have a 4K TV anyway so it didn't really matter for most of them, so they got a Blu-ray player so that it would be able to play both formats and then upgraded the TV at a later date.

    Despite the downvotes, this is also a reason. I don't play the games but i recognise the blue themed chick with the pink lines on her face. Or the one with lots of orange. Or the other one with lots of purple.

    I remember a while ago, they changed the butt on one of the characters and it was an active controversy in gaming social media for a time.

    It was the orange one and it was a pose change, apparently, not a model change, and it was over a decade ago 😕

    Why do I remember this and not the countless things I have forgotten since then? IDK. People have strong feelings about butts.
