    Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

    The Day Before only made it 4 days.

    On 11 December, four days after The Day Before launched to widespread criticism, Fntastic announced their closure, stating that as their game had “failed financially” they could not afford to continue operating. The Day Before was removed from sale on Steam later that day.

      Day Before was basically a scam though, and they kept the servers up for a few weeks.

      By all accounts this was a real game. It’s just that nobody wanted to play it.

      In the last 2 years we’ve seen these live-service games fail at launch time and time and time again. The execs need to just accept that Fortnite already exists and you can’t force that kind of success.
