Why did it flop?
>>

Because extraction shooters are a stupid fad that is well and truly past its expiration date.

Guys the vibe shift in game is crazy tho. I think it's going to be the sleeper come back of 2026.

extraction shooters are boring and more played out than hero shooters

I have no idea what this game is, but it deserved to fail.

it announced it's doing WHAT
>>
>>736644607
Arc Raiders but without the PvP and mutant monsters instead of robots. Hilariously enough it was made by a bunch of Redditors that got assblasted at PvP and wanted their own game for r/patientgamers with 9 kids, 4 jobs and only 1 hour a week for gaming while their wife whores out in their bedroom.

You have no idea how deeply I loathe that pose the monster has in OP's pic.
It's a very effective dogshit game indicator.

Qrd?

How many extraction shooters do you need?

>>736644354
This is the first time I've ever heard of this unoriginal game
>>
>>736646286
It's utter banality. It indicates that the artists don't give a shit and have not an original bone in their body, they just operate by standardizations. Coward without ability to express themselves. Art Station shit.

That new metroid also had a monster do that pose in the promo video. The moment I saw that I dismissed that game.

>Was Tarkov that big?
No. There were some big streamers who played it but it never had a particularly large playerbase. Shit, I'm pretty sure most of their copies sold can be attributed to hackers engaging in RMT just buying fresh accounts to circumvent bans.
If I had to hazard a guess as to what the fuck all these publishers and developers were thinking, they probably viewed extraction shooters as an evolution of the battle royale genre. BRs are still relatively big so they probably figured the next step in evolution would be even bigger so they figured jumping on the extraction shooter bandwagon would make them super rich. The problem is extraction shooters are less of a bandwagon and more of a flaming wreck.

The dev nigs for this game were posting in indie dev forums and they never really respected any feedback. This shit looked doomed to fail from start

Every time this happens, I am amazed that SEGA managed to rub 3 braincells and decided to cancel Hyenas.

Thats the unreleased mmo game the cube, we're talking about the PvPvE extraction game the cube. Keep up bro.

How many more live service flops do we need until these people get the message?

What the fuck makes companies exactly go and want to make games 10 years after the genre already peaked?
Dont the retards know they've already missed the boat?

Why do they keep doing this?
Surely it can't be that expensive to keep a couple of p2p linking servers u0?

Greed.
These projects are equivalent of shitcoins in crypto.

Greedy people saw how much money can be extracted out of players with popular game so they're cajoling investors into giving them large sums of money on these shitcoin projects that are effectively pump and dump schemes.
If it lifts off, then everyone makes money, but if it doesn't the people that got funded for years to make an essentially garbage game still got paid.

That's pretty much it.
If they actually cared about making "good games" they wouldn't be chasing these speculative projects that rely on mass adoption to survive.
