We're winding down 2023 during a super light week.
After a wild week of news, a much lighter one in the gaming world as the industry winds down for the holidays. This week - it’s all news for our recap!
Next week - we’ll share some of our favorite published content for 2023. It’s been a BUSY year.
[Repost] The Day Before Was So Bad It Killed the Company
I’ve been watching The Day Before for over a year, as the guides editor, I keep my pulse on the games that have the biggest following. The Day Before had 230,000 followers (2.7m wishlists with the usual 12:1 conversion) before launch and was so immensely hyped up that when we got the first few trailers… fears began to form.
Let’s dive into this one because it’s a doozy, Anson wrote up a great recap of the history of FNTASTIC, and the Day Before’s troubled Development.
