Social posts are free, yet they've done absolutely nothing. It's bizarre across the board. You're supposed to be hyping the game up and getting eyes on it. But it just feels like they're not doing anything, but you do this the day of? Wtf?
 
Online "Haters"
Hell, the attempt in marketing and advertising would look a LOT better than it does now, but maybe that is the approach, lmao.

"There's too much toxicity, we'd be better off just not posting anything until people can see and play it themselves."

I mean, that'd certainly be a bizarre approach. But I could see someone thinking that, lol.

Then they post on X and there are thousands of comments from aggrieved dorks angry that their game was in that spot instead of Half-Life 3, and then all the game websites write clickbait about "Dev of brand new multi million dollar game makes new social media post, gamers clap back"

Nah better to let their game do the talking if they believe in it.

They've stayed on the top of minds without social media posts.

I don't think people realize how effective Highguards strategy has been. This has all be planned months in advance.
 
People feasting on another game failing before it's even out.
It's so normal these days it's gross. I mean, I want it to do well, it's extremely rare for me to want games to fail. I just think the silence has been so odd, but that's just because we're not used to seeing this kind of strategy.
I really hope this game is actually good. Just to shut up the whingebags.
Yeah, I mean, I feel that way about everything that gets bullied. I didn't even think Concord was bad, it was just fine, but they pushed for it to be much more than that. I love me a good success story.
 
Imagine if the game ends up being really fun and the haters all dissipate? That would be pretty funny.

It's free...I'll try it. If it's fun, great, I'll get some entertainment out of it. If it sucks, great, I'll just move on with my life. Internet outrage culture is out of control nowadays.

Truth. I guess those folks are so bored with their lives that they thirst and froth for any kind of drama they can get their hands on.

Keighley allegedly didn't even charge them for the time at TGA because he is excited about the game. For all we know, the pub/devs were just going to trot this out without fanfare but Keighley got involved and now here we are.

I always enjoyed the gameplay in Apex and Titanfall so yes, this is the play. It's free.

I'll try it out and if ass, delete.
If decent, it's a time killer and palate cleanser kinda game.
