Riot is yet again proving they are completely incapable of doing anything that is not League of Legends, TFT or Valorant.

I just started playing the game after it launched on consoles because they need their bullshit anticheat for a fucking fighting game for some reason, so I can't run it on Linux, and not even a month after the official release they are already firing half the development team.

This is smelling awfully like another LOR, which didn't die because the game is "too fair" or whatever other bullshit g*mers say about the game, but rather because Riot is literally incapable of doing the bare minimum to ensure their own game's success, be it doing actual advertising, both irl and in other related games they own like the fucking League client, or doing joint events between their games, or not asking for an arm a leg for a single skin like it is right now on 2XKO.

How can this multi billion dollar company be so incompetent?

That sucks. I knew something was a bit off when most of the character guides I found on youtube had very low views. I've been having fun playing it, but this feels weird even for Riot, they usually wait a bit before doing this kind of stuff. I also heard it was the game with the biggest number of competitors in Frosty Faustings, which makes this even weirder, because it shows there's at least competitive potential, which is super important for fighting games. Idk, they must have set some crazy high expectations for this game.
