    Nothing was functionally wrong with the game.

    People have said it hasnt done anything much to separate itself from all the other free to play hero shooters to jusitfy its $40 price tag.

    People also aren’t vibing with the character designs.

      Thanks, I still can’t wrap my head around how it makes sense to pull the game and issue auto refunds. Unless PlayStation thinks it’s so toxically bad that its mere existence is damaging to the brand.

        There are less than 25000 copies sold. Less than 1000 people online at peak time. So, difficult to find matches for the players, yet Sony would liable to keep the servers up, and keep the devs working on the planned roadmap, which would be costing them a lot more than anything remotely close to what they earned.

        So, better to just issue refund, shut down the servers, and get devs to do something that has a chance to earn them something.
