I think it's an actually an example of how releasing on PC kinda backfired. The game was clearly geared toward controller players and much of the online discourse pointed toward the game costing money and plenty of free games being available in the same genre, which might be true on PC but it certainly isn't on PS5. Then we have the game's beta failure being a spectator sport via steam concurrent numbers just after, which was essentially the start gun for YouTuber circlejerks, hate watching and chuds supremacy - the game was largely ignored before that, which is bad in its own right.

I'm still so salty about this, not really with Sony shutting them down, but more the gaming community relishing the situation for the lols and how often I hear people say it's about the gameplay but are ready to kill a game because of one or two character models (nobody talks about Kyps because she's the GOAT) without uttering a word about gameplay. The same types bitch and moan about yearly COD or a lack of innovation but it's just yap in the end.

Holy fuck, blaming the PC users
