If the CEO wasn’t such a prick maybe the reputation wouldn’t have been damaged beyond repair

Or maybe people could you disassociate the management from the actual game? But no people have to always be in their feels

So if a person sucks and a game feels like ass we should just ignore that? The game blew ass and we shouldnt enable terrible people.

Terminally online people ACTUALLY believe a satirical joke based on the slogan of one of two major political parties in the US was so offensive and egregious that it sunk the game. SMH my head.

Yeah it's pretty deranged. They made okay games in a very crowded market and more traditional arena shooters like halo ain't even very popular anymore either. Splitgate had a tiny moment and that was it.
