    Another competitive multiplayer shooter bound for the “I didn’t even know that came out” pile, I suspect.

    We have this unfortunate situation in the industry right now. The only way you can get a game made is if you can get investors to pony up some money to pay for the development, and investors only care about what was already successful.

    It just doesn’t work in creative industries. If something was successful five years ago, making something to ape that today isn’t going to work. Imagine if music was based on what was trending half a decade ago.

    This is how you stagnate an entire field.

          You say this is “just another competitive shooter” out of a pile and that the industry is stagnated. I’m asking who made something like this before for you to come to that conclusion

            It’s a competitive shooter. The twist on the genre doesn’t matter for the point I’m making. They all have some twists, and they all fail, aside from the unicorns that make it.
