Personally, Vanguard anti cheat and a lack of real ownership made this a no-go for me. I’m very in the FGC, but everyone I know that still plays the game, hates it. I don’t know why they do it.

    Still thinking back to when this was first announced and people were hyping it up like the mere presence of Riot’s money was going to result in Project L completely dominating the entire rest of the FGC combined by an order of magnitude. I knew from the start that it would never live up to such unrealistic expectations.

    From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t sound like the game even did that badly, I wish some of my other favorite games had as healthy of a playerbase. But we’re in this weird world where some games are perfectly comfortable with whatever audience they get and others have to pull the plug ASAP if they don’t hit Fortnite-sized numbers overnight.

    They just needed to have realistic expectations and they could’ve been fine with what they have.

      They could have been phenomenally successful if they released a game with rollback back when there were almost none. Then 2021 came along and rollback fighters are basically all that exist anymore.
