On OW video he said it borrows little from TF2 and a lot from mobas.

Is this the timeline where the developer's convictions sour the product regardless? Damn.

LawBreakers' launch numbers are much lower than Battleborn's

Despite getting decent reviews, gravity-bending FPS LawBreakers is struggling to keep an active player base just days after release. It failed to launch within the top 100 games on Steam, and even Battleborn, the poster child of launch flops, had higher player numbers at this point in its life.

According to GITHYP, the final release for LawBreakers saw a whopping 60% reduction over its initial beta player count. Launch night saw only a peak of 3k players, which is pretty bad when compared to Battleborn’s 12k.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it was just a rough start, as since then the numbers have only gone down. Daily lows are already dropping to below 1,000 players, and the peaks are also going down as the days go by. Tuesday, the day after launch, saw a reduction of 300 people, giving a peak of only 2.7k.

For most players, this might not be too big of an issue in the short-term, as 1,000 is more than enough to find at least one match going at any given moment. In the long-term, though, it doesn’t bode well for continued support, as that number is almost definitely going to fall even lower without some major work from developers Boss Key.

Considering Battleborn performed better than LawBreakers and still went free-to-play, maybe the future for Boss Key’s shooter is already set in stone? After all, the game was initially meant to be free-to-play before an early change to being a premium title.

Hopefully he'll blame its failure on piracy. Again. He's such a sad shit.

Nah, the game is shit regardless.

And knowing Cliff B., he is probably doing it because he thinks it is going to help promote his game, and not because he actually gives a shit about progressivism.

It's a shame that this game isn't doing better because, by all accounts, it is really excellent old school MP fun.
Here's hoping that good word of mouth will draw more players to it.
