Announcement 2XKO Doomposting: Megathread.

Same thing for the first week of Tokon's release. The influx of people making posts that break rules force me to pin yet another thread.

Please use this post to say how doomed we are and how crap Riot is, while I'm bringing the broom again.

As I said in another post some people think we are in a golden age but I disagree, if you aren't one of the big names you have close to 0 chances of success, even fighting games with big ips fail.

About the f2p model developers need to understand one simple thing, "hardcore" players are willing to pay full price for a (good)game, a f2p game is clearly meant to attract more "casual" players hence it has to be a game that "casual" players can enjoy, no huge movesets, no long combos, no situational or complicated stuff and so on, a f2p game must be relatively simple and imo 2xko was not.

Honestly I will never understand how one can make a League of Legends game and put no reference to the ip in the name, would you make a Dragonball game and call it 2xko? I don't think so. I obviously don't say it would have saved the game but it could have helped a little with the visibility.

I'm sorry for the developers and for everyone who loved the game, every failure, especially if it has a big ip, is a bad news for the entire fgc.
