Highguard is under 500 players.
>>733802045Why wouldn't it be?
>>733802045who cares
Oh no, a steamcharts thread, now an autist's day is ruined.
At what point will publishers stop trying to make f2p live service games? Clearly the market is full, no new one will overthrow fortnite
>>733802178it'll slow down until another one (deadlock maybe) succeeds
How come no one gave this game a fucking chance. This industry looks at an innovative shooter like this and just let it die? Let me guess this entire board is going to be going wild over Battlefield 7 or Cawadooty #2352435 in a few months? Jesus
High guard missed it's window. 2023-2025 spawned multiple very profitable games with high player counts peaks/sizable CCUs. The Finals, Deadlock, Rivals, Overwatch 1. 3 of these have been so profitable they had investors dumping money back into them, and deadlock is set up for success.
>>733802045Imagine being that guy left in the office. Arms folded humming to himself as he rocks back back and forth. Watching the player numbers fall. Told by the bosses to sit tight and keep them informed while they're off on some beach somewhere after pocketing all that money making the game
>>733802178The whole industry runs on sunk cost but players might eventually bail on a franchise if sufficiently pissed off and pick up a different game. The whole trick is in timing the release of the game to capture the refugees, assuming you can actually deliver a superior product. So they'll keep trying.
>>733802514That dude is loving life because he's still drawing a paycheck, unlike 95% of his former coworkers.
>>733802316I never play any MPslop but still laugh about it
>>733802178Is it full? Even if like 9/10 of new live service f2p fail, the one successful one will make infinite fucking money so it's probably worth throwing them out until it sticks.
>>733802045Cool. How many players does your game have?
>>733802316They did, it got a healthy first day. The fact it failed at retaining those players is entirely the game's fault.
>>733803428>90k players booting up the game once just to leave a bad review because LE INTERNET HATE MACHINE>healthy first day
>>733803408If I'd spent 4 years on it I'd hope more than 500.
>>733803504>Download game because it's free>Play one match>Think it's boring after 30 or more mins>Uninstall and leave negative review for devs to fix game>This is bad to youTake your bait and shove it up your ass.
>>733803504100k people tried it. After a couple days only 1k remained. You don't lose 99% of your players out of simple spite. The game isn't good. Players have so many other options. If it had been good they would have sacrificed their time elsewhere. They didn't
>>733802045How can a game get so much exposure, yet be THIS unappealing?
>>733803985We already played Apex Legends. No one wants to play it again.
>>733803985
Highguardians...how do we come back from this?
>>733803504THE GAME YOU MADE WAS REALLY BAD RETARD
>>733804273Make it 16v16 with dedicated server support.
>>733802045Im sure they are having a blast
…not including consoles
>>733802045Just wait for the weekend chud
>>733802045Oh that happened
>>733804273Just wait for the weekend wardenbro, we will own the chuds and have a blast
>>733802178Genshin Impact made over 3 billion dollarsGame companies will stop making f2p live service games when they stop having gamblers in the C-suite
>>733806929Didn't even realize until now that the execs are just playing roulette with hundreds of millions of dollars
>>733802178Eventually devs should have a repeat of the MMO era and realize they'll never beat WoW(or Fortnite/Roblox in this case) and move on.
>>733802045Is this even worth making a thread for?Save the screenshots for future flops to throw in shills faces but there just isn't enough fucks to give about this flop any more to justify a thread
>>733807985>SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
>>733802178High risk, high reward. Most of these projects crash and burn, but a few break through like Marvel Rivals, ARC Raiders, or Helldivers. Deadlock is pretty popular as well, at least for now.Even Overwatch managed to surge back into the spotlight recently, after being "dead" for half a decade.
>>733802045Marathon is really making you guys nervous huh?
>>733808469deadlock isn't going to lose popularity unless they fuck up the ARAM mode they just added, which is possible because icefrog is a retarded nigger
>>733808583Nervous about what? I'm not the intended audience.
>>733802045Highguard was orchestrated by Naughty Dog so that when Intergalactic does poorly, they won't be the biggest TGA end-of-show flop. Screenshot this.
>>733802178I don't think those devs would have made a good single player game. >but the game was from the developers of XNever works.
>>733802514>after pocketing all that money making the gameHow did they pay the 100 industry veterans for all those years then, retard? Why do all you faggots think making big games is free, yet never make them?
>>733803239I'd feel special too if I were one of the 5 people who weren't fired. I'd put "finalist of the Highguard battle royale" on my resume.
>>733808583Nah, I've already seen the future. Marathon will do "ok", people will act like it reaching the top on Steam's global sellers for two days is an amazing accomplishment and 3 months later a bunch of articles about Marathon underperforming will come out. Kinda like Veilguard.
>>733808818The only reason to screenshot this is to prove how fucking retarded you when none of this happens.
>>733803504>only 29k reviewswhere are the other 60k then?
Why don't gamers like having a return to lightning in a form bottle blast core games?
>>733810537They failed to be better men
>>733803636The sad thing is that your game probably won't even have half in peak numbers.
>>733806929Why don't western companies make genshin clones of various IPs?
>>733812432It wouldn't lose me hundred of millions of dollars either.
