    So basically, it’s a poorly marketed $40 game facing a lot of free and popular competition.

      Did they market it at all?

      All I have seen is the post mortem articles. Deadlock has had more marketing.

        Honestly, deadlock doing the whole Fight Club marketing strategy really paid off for them. I heard so much about “the game you weren’t allowed to talk about” on various streams.

        I’ve been seeing ads for it for a long time, but the ads don’t even make it clear they’re for this game until 20+ seconds in, at which point I’ve stopped watching.

        It’s very likely you too have seen plenty of marketing for this game but ignored it like I did.
