There's a lot of games that go with the free with mtx model that flop as well. eFootball comes to mind. They had decades of experience with Pro Evo Soccer, their only real competitor costs $70 and is still laden with microtransactions, and it still couldn't get off the ground.
None of these games are cheap to make, and they're certainly not cheap to market.
I have not heard of it yet. Sounded intriguing. But a quick search of "eFootball" took me to a mobile game, with in-app purchases - not looking good and I am staying the fuck away. If they really don't have mtx then they are doing something very wrong.
Not sure which part of my post lead you to think they don't have mtx. They very much do.
I was using it as an example of an expensive flop on that side of the spectrum.
Oh my bad then I read wrong in my sleep 🫣
