Does anybody even still care about this? Seems it's 15 minutes of Twitch fame died off already just like Fall Guys.

4-5 months too late

Apparently you cared enough to post about it...

Just because it’s not up to your likings does not mean the vast majority don’t care about it anymore. Same goes for Fall Guys, both of which are still on-going games.

I wasn't talking about my personal opinion. I liked Fall Guys at launch but like a lot of people it didn't hold my interest combined with some of the connection problems and missteps from the devs. I do consider this a bad game so I didn't get into playing it but it could be fun to watch if an entertaining group of streamers or YouTubers were playing so it wasn't completely horrible. But again I wasn't talking about my personal opinions, I was talking about the fact this has seen a massive drop off in popularity from when it was at peak popularity so like Talal also said this is a bit too late. If the vast majority still cared about it then it wouldn't be dropping off so much with Twitch viewership now would it? The same thing happened with Fall Guys where it had a burst of popularity at launch but it was short lived. Actually I would even say Among Us stole the thunder from Fall Guys since it seemed to take off as that started to decline. But they were both games that had big popularity because of Twitch (And in the case of Fall Guys PS+ but at it's peak it was popular on PC too so can't only credit PS+) until people moved on and they are showing no signs of having the staying power that something like Fortnite has or even Rocket League keeps going stronger than these.

Falls Guys had 708K peak viewers. Among Us had 745K peak viewers. Currently as I am posting this they both have 1.2K viewers (More than -99% the viewers from peak) and are not in the top 100 viewed games on Twitch. Worms W.M.D. currently has 5.1K viewers and was never even that popular. So combined two games that at one point were some of the most viewed games on Twitch are currently doing worse than a game that was never popular. I think that goes beyond it just being me don't you think? I'm sure they both see some spikes at times but it is clear the peak is long gone.

Jumping on some dead trend too late and wasting time showcasing it is just sad but people were only there for Ratchet anyway so nothing of value was lost. Fall Guys was at least released on PS4 from the start when the game did have it's peak popularity but this is way too late and when it was popular the devs were busy making excuses about not being able to get the communication to work on PS and Xbox so they dropped the ball.

Ughh! THIS game?? When Sony announced they were going to talk about 2 new indies I was hoping that one of them was going to be Hades. I wonder what the hold up is on that coming to PlayStation? Did Nintendo pay for console exclusivity on that game? It's so strange to me that they released only on Switch and PC and not the other two platforms.

[Hayabusa85]

Yeah even though I thought they would be crazy announcing another Rogue type game on the eve of Returnal I was hoping for Hades and then an update on something like Kena or Stray.

Did they sell shares in their company and you thought it was a good investment or something? Read the room and you will see it is pretty obvious this was a complete dud of a reveal that you are blindly defending for no apparent reason.

Among Us Losing Popularity - Comparison (2020-2021) ,Minecraft - YouTube

Just look at that 2021 plummeting which will just keep getting worse and worse

So yeah sorry people were hoping for a genuinely good game that was considered one of the best of 2020 and not a dead trend that wasn't even popular because of the game itself but the personalities playing it

I know this game had a surprise resurgence in popularity, but three collectors editions for something you can get for free on mobile is a bit mental.

Not only is the game dead, but it’s a small (less than a GB) online only game. What a waste of blu ray discs

Limited Run Games just had a collector's edition for it too. Trying to squeeze every last penny out of it before it completely dies off soon.
