I feel it's the same case with Fairgames, with Payday 3 falling flat on its face, it opened the door for competitors, but the games have to be good first and Fairgames reception has also been poor and the playtests reportedly aren't good either.

To be fair, I don't think Fairgames reception so far should be an indictment of the game. Playtests exist to figure out what's working and what isn't. Negative feedback is a good thing, that is if they use it to improve upon the experience. And besides, this wasn't a public showcasing either.
