The Day Before developer Fntastic has shut down one week after the game’s Early Access launch, the company announced, citing the game’s financial failure as reason for the closure.

    In what world is it a financial failure? Didn’t they just make an asset flip and potentially made millions of dollars based on player figures? Hard to imagine 100% of people refunded…

    The game is a financial failure… after a week of early access? And it was supposed to stay in early access for at least 6 months?

    What did they expect exactly?

      They had expectations like Square Enix for their western titles. Anything below 10 million sales or something is a flop.

    Not terribly surprised they are shutting down, but I am a little shocked that it is happening less than a week after the game released. I kind of expected them to at least attempt the old “we’re sorry you are disappointed and are working to fix the game” routine before bolting. Then again judging from all the articles and videos it doesn’t really look like there was any way to fix it or even really bring it close to the game they promised they were going to release.

    Very expected that they’d shut down soon after launch, after all the coverup they tried (and failed at) to perform. I just didn’t expect that it would be that soon after launch.
