It wasn't.

Game sold well because the gameplay is great + word of mouth from people that played the earlier games.

The story is just serviceable at best.

No point making a Battle Pass for a game that's essentially DOA

@majikayo666: Why would you think anyone would believe you're so amazing that only a cheater would give you an actual challenge? Think before you speak bruh LOL ROFL

Mate, you're defending cheaters. You brag about how you're so amazing that the only challenge you got was from a cheater. You get super defensive when anyone calls you out going as far as accusing people of using alts because the idea of multiple people disagreeing with you is a foreign concept to you.

How could I NOT assume you're just as much of a cheater as the ones you're defending so much?

@majikayo666: I'm noone's alt nor do I make alt accounts. I stick to one account since I have no reason to hide.

People change? Some do, some don't. And honestly, I wouldn't trust anyone to change for the better. If someone cheats, there's nothing really stopping them from continuing to cheat other than straight up getting banned. And those will more than likely move to another game to cheat at. I've seen this song and dance multiple times.

Oh and maybe you should stop using your cheats if you really want a challenge.

@goobermcdermit: and here I thought US already had a pretty bad justice system. Starting to believe the problem is actually global and that is VERY worriesome.

@majikayo666: The fact that you're so okay with a cheater honestly makes me think that you cheat yourself. Once a cheater, always a cheater is a good mantra to go with when it involves cheaters because I assure you that if a cheater can get away with it they will continue to cheat. They don't care about integrity, fair play and sportsmanship. They just want to feel "superior" by breaking as many rules as they can.

Want an example of what happens when cheaters get their way? Look no further than PS3 era Call of Duty games. Completely unplayable because they're infested with cheaters and hackers because they know they will never get banned in those games.

And no, innocent victims of other's hacks don't actually get banned for that, they just get their stats reset to pre-hack. Devs are smarter than that.

Justice system failing again by giving criminals a mere slap on the wrist.

Punishments should be harsher for serious crimes like this.

Just effing disgusting. Devs want to turn this into the new normal. Release a broken game then throw an apology and a promise of a patch that will fix it.

But know what? I can't blame them completely. This is clearly the result of some very tight deadlines being given by the higher ups. CEOs too greedy to realize that it takes time to make a quality product. But I suppose there are too many suckers out there that such a thing isn't necessary anymore.

Look, I'm not a fan of loot boxes either, but this sounds like somebody wants to be rewarded for their shitty parenting than actually fighting against the scummy practice of loot boxes.

This game managed to last this long? And it's making bank?

We gamers absolutely deserve to be nickel and dimed for allowing this to survive.
