MORE DEAD GAMES: What Went Wrong?

I once again explore the reasons why many of the games I've made videos on are no longer thriving.

built my channel on Rogue Company, then switched to Battlefield 2042... I'm not good at this

A little bit more than a month later:
“Fall Guys is going Free to play!”
*spikes upward higher than Octane’s pad can send you*

The long awaited sequel, something none of these games will ever have

[gdaytoyamates]

Honestly, I wouldn’t really call Fall Guys “dead”. It’s definitely not in the spotlight anymore, but I and many people I know still play it. It’s a fun brain-off game, and even if it’s not where it was before, 10, 000 players on average is not what I would call dead. The game still has a playerbase.

I loved spellbreak, the graphics were really nice and the gameplay was unique and refreshing. Sad to see that it's closing servers soon.

[ozani]

surprisingly, paladins isn’t dead and has over 10 thousand players on steam alone. it’s not popular but it certainly has its own fanbase

[Movies-jigw]

I honestly think that spellbreak will be as close to an avatar game as we will ever have at this point

[michalslusarski]

Not dead games, but ones that reached their peak at some point and now have a consistent, stable player base. Not every game needs to maintain its peak popularity for all of its lifetime

[randyguest]

I love watching videos like these seeing how outdated they became because of the game returning and it's cool to see how a game I joined after its re-spike once went threw a tough journey of almost dying.

[hunterstjean]

I feel like there’s big lines between a “dead game”, “diehard fan base”, and “super popular games” that you don’t really see

[thatonecanadian]

Ah yes, the return of the dead games series. Also that song at the start was fire

[chorenewt]

I wouldn't call Fall Guys "dead" more or less dying or less popular. This because you can still get into a match pretty quickly and also updates a still being churned out by the devs

[jayfoxsquare]

I feel like spell break would really benefit with a reboot, maybe having a story based setting or maybe a wave fight set up. That could get you into the mechanics of the game so you understand the basics against A.I. and then you can play on a pvp setting after getting the hang of it. But I loved the art style and feel of the game, just Earth always was used and it was just imbalanced with no incentive to change up play style. On numerous occasions I thought of going back to it, with now that not being a case at all, but the one thing that turned me away was that if I was going to play. I couldnt do it casually.

With Rogue Company, i enjoyed playing it with a few of my friends a lot, but we eventually started playing Warzone and Fortnite a lot and kinda forgot about it. We were pondering what to play one day and we remembered it, and when we went to play it, They had COMPLETELY destroyed everything going for it. Guns has more bloom and the TTK was faster. So now you could only hit shots if your lucky and you died in 2 bullets. Looked it up and turns out they had changed and reverted it multiple times. We havent played since.

Shoutout to those niche online games that nobody liked but still kept an active community

[AhaBra]

I really wouldn’t call fall guys “dead” or “dying”. The game still has a dedicated fanbase. also the biggest reason for its decline is because of among usz

[AllDaily]

Legitimately some of the best times I had gaming were on spellbreak :/ such satisfying combat, tons of potential for flashy kills, high skill ceiling allowed for crazy outplays. So sad where it’s at now.

The only reason I stopped playing is because I would search 30+ min without finding a match. Just lack of updates and pushing away the core player base really did it in

[gavinduncan]

you should do the rise and fall of the titanfall games in one video and break down exactly how the game was defeated by the hackers. Just an idea.

[pathetictoothbrush]

Personally, I think Rogue Company is still doing just fine. Its not too hard to find a match and it still feels pretty good.

[ybobux]

Man, I miss spellbreak, it was so damn good and fun really sad what happened to it
