“the day before” we shut down lol

The speed-runs of studio shutdowns is crazy this year

King Kong game came in clutch to save Gollum from the title of worst of the year, now in a never seen before move at the last second, The Day Before is coming in clutch to save King Kong from that title, what a year...

“This was our first big gaming project. Shit happens” You know how many studios first games aren’t a scam? Lmfao the fact they were making excuses on Twitter

quite a year for gaming. We have some of the best games around...and then also the worst games around, I'm kinda impressed

There were so many red flags and so many warnings from the community about this game. Yet they still sold so many copies! Also, how is this legal?!

Took a gander on Steam when this first released as I couldn't believe it actually released. Saw one review saying something along the lines of "yeah it's buggy but what game nowadays doesn't have a rough release? It'll improve" and I suddenly remembered how these blatant scams make so much money. I love optimism, but there have to be limits here, come on.

The idea that a company can sell 'early access', then immediately close down and basically say 'screw you, no refunds', is utterly INSANE.

Developer: 'Four years of blood, sweat and tears to release this game to you' Translation: 'We pulled together a shit ton of unity assets and only made a couple areas by hand because we gave up right after the announcement but knew we had to release something or we would likely be sued.' Developer: 'The Day Before ended up not being financially high enough to continue production or keep our studio open. Translation: 'Too many people refunded the game after they saw what it was, so now instead of jumping ship next month when we get enough money for ourselves, we're leaving four days after release and making Steam pay you all back. See ya suckers!

This is clearly an asset flip. There's no way a team of developers would spend 5 YEARS shitting out something like this. They took the money and ran.

The bug where people are falling though the map, that's the very FIRST SCENE of the game after making a new character on a server!

This has got to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in gaming. The deception campaign, all the delays and excuses. Then they finally release a completely different game,the studio closes a few days later, the CEO is MIA, his socials are nuked, all the marketing has been removed. Then finally all they can say is “shit happens.” You really can’t make this up 😂

This games a real cherry on top for terrible games this year. Never seen a game and developer shut down so quickly before.

I was looking forward to hearing you cover this :) sorry to hear you’re feeling under the weather. Feel better soon Yong!

One more time; you could have 175 200 hours on a game from 20 years ago and you can still request a refund on steam. The two hours and 2 weeks own time is the no questions asked refund policy. Everything else is handled on a case by case basis like every other platform. If you give a valid reason and haven't refunded tons of games; it'll be considered.

A game that was in “development” for 5 years just for it to be taken off the Steam store 4 days after its Early Access launch has got to be the biggest failures in gaming history

Fantastic was like "Quick! 2023 is almost over. We gotta do something to make it to the exclusive Gollum and Rise of Kong list before the year ends!"

Definitely not “the greatest scam” anyone who followed this game knew it was going to go exactly like this. I’m even surprised the game released to begin with tbh. People who did/ still are defending this are actually delusional.

I learned about this game yesterday. It never ceases to amaze me how gullible the gaming audience is.
