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?
Devs talking about being fired:
It is a good fighting game, but fighting games are small enough it was never going to make league type money
Yeah, feels like they just set crazy expectations considering it took 10 years of development with multiple internal reboots plus the fact that they think the game is gonna be a success with no marketing and advertisement just because they are Riot. Fighting games are growing but it is still a niche. They could at least had waited 6 months before doing this bizarre shit, what a way to tell everyone you don't care about your newly released game
Like, honestly, if they made a subspace emisary for the game. Or of they made a platformer fighter like awsomenauts out of the engine it would be peak. Try playing teemo and tell me dropping him in any mega man game wouldn't be transcendent. They have the bones for something so I see how it came to be a good idea. I just can't imagine how the played to scope the project
