Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered. Rules: 1: No discrimination or hate speech. 2: No affiliation links that do not belong to nerdSlayer. 3: No political/religious talk or debate . 4: Any points you make have to be substantiated either in explaining your opinion or when stating facts you need to back these up with reliable sources. 5: Do not argue moderation decisions in public, if you have an issue PM the mods. 6: We don't allow self promotion, giveaways or anything of similar nature from community members on this discord without nerdSlayer's permission. 7: Wherever possible if you initiate a discussion try to do so in an appropriate channel for it. For example game news could go in ⁠game-table a story on the latest EVE heist however would belong in ⁠mmo-booth or the latest GPU shortage can go in ⁠tech-wizards 8: Spoilers have to be marked at all times as a spoiler by using /spoiler or || before and after the message. Beside this outside of the spoiler you should make clear ahead of it what the spoiler is about, like the latest chapter in a video game or something. 9: Please do not @ mention any of the staff or in general abuse @ mentions. People will respond on their own accord when needed and when they desire to do so. (Exception for moderators if their presence is needed for enforcement) Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_tPHAXkGr4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dauntless_(video_game) https://www.resetera.com/threads/dauntless-releases-on-steam-after-5-years-of-epic-store-exclusivity-to-overwhelmingly-negative-reviews-after-update-adds-lootboxes-and-removes-content.1054446/ https://dauntless.fandom.com/wiki/Dauntless_Wiki https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/01/dauntless-review https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/12/02/dauntless-former-bioware-riot-capcom-and-blizzard-devs-reveal-new-action-rpg https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/12/18/dauntless-frostfall-update-brings-wintry-monster-slaying-a-ign-first https://www.pcgamesn.com/dauntless/review https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/04/11/dauntless-entering-free-open-beta-next-month https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05/28/dauntless-surpasses-6-million-players-in-first-week https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/12/10/16-games-highlighted-in-dec-10-nintendo-indie-world-showcase https://80.lv/articles/phoenix-labs-to-release-updates-for-dauntless-offer-in-game-compensation-to-apologize/ https://80.lv/articles/dauntless-launches-on-steam-to-shockingly-bad-reviews/ https://80.lv/articles/phoenix-labs-lays-off-9-of-its-employees/ https://www.ign.com/articles/dauntless-reforged-is-a-massive-free-expansion-that-feels-like-a-sequel https://www.reddit.com/r/dauntless/comments/63nxro/founders_pack/ https://www.mmorpg.com/news/dauntless-and-fae-farm-dev-phoenix-labs-is-independent-once-more-2000127232 https://steamdb.info/app/331370/charts/ https://www.vg247.com/dauntless-released-15-million-players https://privatecapitaljournal.com/phoenix-labs-secures-series-c-led-by-sapphire-ventures/ https://www.gamesindustry.biz/dauntless-developer-acquired-by-garena https://www.mmorpg.com/news/dauntless-dev-phoenix-labs-has-laid-off-over-100-people-amid-a-restructuring-2000131556 https://www.engadget.com/2016-12-01-former-league-of-legends-developers-unveil-dauntless.html
