    Releasing into a saturated market

    zero unique features compared to competition

    not free to play like the competition

    Boring, generic-looking characters

    zero marketing/promotion before release

    No linux support

    I mean is it really a mystery why it was dead on arrival?

      No linux support

      Well, you got 4% max that care about that, the rest though.

      And 400mil and no marketing is surprising as usually it seems to go the other way, at least they delivered something… god the bar for AAA is low, but not wasting money on poorly targeted ads and otherwise hyping is new

        if they had announced Linux support on release, at least some of that 4% would have enthusiastically hyped it up before and now, and would have played it. Average Linux users are more enthusiastic fans than the average non Linux user for anything that includes Linux, and that niche could have been a good initial support. But it wasnt so.
