I see multiple reasons for this. Player apathy towards another me-too multiplayer hero shooter. People being less excited about an online-only game when the deal can be changed at any time and poor player numbers become a snowballing self-fulfilling prophecy. Loss of faith in Sony after the Helldivers 2 mistakes. Crap marketing and exposure. It's not free but really should be. I wouldn't presume to know what is the biggest contributor, but I suspect that all play a part to one degree or another.

They did a terrible job at marketing it, since this article was the first I even heard of it.

Still wouldn't play it, as I had my fill of hero shooters back with Overwatch 1, and from the trailer, I don't see it doing anything particularly interesting. Multiplayer-only games are an especially risky proposition, since there's both the issue of gaining sufficient skill to compete, but also there being a player base to play against.

I *almost* looked into The Finals, but didn't bother.

Its almost like these Low effort-Low dev cost games that can be shut off like a light switch on a companies whim are not really THAT popular... or something.

Apparently this game took 100 million and 8 years to make.

I hope Valve's latest vehicle for microtransactions is next, and they decide to give single player games a go again.

When the first I hear of your game is that the open beta just ended and no one played it, and the second time I hear of your game, its that its launched and no one is playing it, there's a real problem with your game's marketing, and probably not much going right with the game itself either.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?

And if this is the result… I see no reason to change my opinion.
