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?

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.
