Multiversus is the strangest one. It came out like gangbusters, hotter than Salsa Picante de Mama Funkystein, then they shuttered it for over a year before releasing it again, at which point everyone had moved on. Why did they shutter it when it was hot?

Someone wanted to use it as a tax writeoff and didn't expect people to actually like it.

They were woefully unprepared to handle as many players as they got, because that game is built with a very small team. But if it wasn't a live service, they wouldn't have had to shutter it at all.

Rare correct usage of “going Gangbusters”.
