Forget quality, a game flopping this badly is a massive indication that their marketing team literally didn't try with this game. Plenty of bad games have a great deal more players than this game had, by far less known studios. They must have completely abandoned the game for it to do this poorly. |
In my opinion, this is not a problem of marketing, the lack of marketing was a right and conscious decision
The first teaser was released 2 years ago and made no buzz whatsoever. The graphics are ugly and the game itself looks uninspired and uninteresting, after the very lukewarm reception they more likely decided to given up the project and let Platinum finish the game only because they would probably have to pay for it regardless if they decided to cancel the game in the middle of the development
So they released and let it flop
The problem of this game was both the conception and the execution of the game itself, the few reviews were very clear how bad and clunk the game is. And both Enix and Platinum are responsible for making a bad game
A dev more than anyone knows when a game have no hope, if this was a hopeless game since the reveal, why spending money marketing it ?
