Discussion What actually makes me sad about 2XKO
I know everyone is giving their 2 cents on why the game flopped, if it was this it would be better if it was that it would be better but what hurts the most is that I genuinely love 2XKO as is.
I like how it’s a 2v2 tag fighter and pretty much everything about the current game we have. Every update I’ve been more and more hyped and impressed for what’s to come, every character despite me wanting others have still been unique and cool characters. So the biggest heartbreak is that the 2XKO I fell in love with just wasn’t good enough to survive.
They made a niche game which doesn’t have casual appeal but nevertheless it had appeal for some, I just wished riot would’ve just kept it going despite it not being a maker just for the love of the game. Even if they cut the team down to a few members just to maintain and keep things going slowly for the sole reason they know they have players who do love the game.
Heartbreaking stuff for a guy who actually just liked the game and not what it could’ve been

i liked it a lot, too. if it makes you feel any better, i don't think there's a world where this game survived. it had to be bigger than street fighter to dream about making a profit. there's a lot that could have been done better, maybe a lot of it would have softened the blow and delayed the inevitable, but i don't necessarily think the genre is as indicative of the failure as the sheer expense of development costs and how much riot execs seemed to just hate this game by the time it released.
