Ever since the studio closed Ive been wracking my brain what I could have done differently, the retired game developer said on an Instagram post. Pivot HARD when the juggernaut of Overwatch was announced. Been less nice with my design ideas and more of a dictator with them.

One big epiphany I had was that I pushed my own personal political beliefs in a world that was increasingly divided.

Instead of the story being this game looks neat it became this is the game with the woke bro trying to push his hackey politics on us with gender neutral bathrooms. Instead of these characters seem fun it was this is the studio with the CEO who refuses to make his female characters sexier. Instead of who am I going to choose it became white dude shoehorns diversity in his game and then smells his own smug farts in interviews instead of just letting the product speak for itself.

It's always someone else's fault.

Lawbreakers was woke?

I just saw Cliffy B attached and ignored it tbqh

I didn't even know he was woke.

---

He should've just kept it free to play

---

I thought it was because it was super derivative of an already established game that it had no chance of toppling.

So he's changing his story again? Typical Dude Huge

I don't remember thinking any of that about it

Lol I liked Lawbreakers and this is so off base its not even funny.

It failed because it didnt have enough unique appeal to attract people. The gameplay was fun and unique enough for a hero shooter but the heroes were very forgettable.

It didnt find an audience and they didnt market it well enough as far as Im concerned. It just failed and they gave up on it. I didnt see a strong push.

Cliffy B Is a ducking idiot though and should just stop talking.

NO. It was because this very unique and innovative shooter was woke af. That's what happened and that's the story we're sticking with! WOKE! It was like WOKE, because "WOKE = $$$"

Wasn't it just a generic online team shooter in a sea of generic online team shooters and battle royales?

Yikes, Cliff

It wasn't "just" a generic online team shooter

It was a billion dollar franchise in the making

Remember when Cliffy B got owned by a ginger goblin over Twitter.

Why the hell wasn't this game made F2P after it was clear nobody was buying it

Woke? More like joke

Nobody took the game seriously because it looked like yet another OW clone trying to leech off of its popularity with none of the soul
