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.ign.com/articles/xdefiant-review https://www.thegamer.com/xdefiant-live-service-failure-ubisoft/ https://news.ubisoft.com/es-mx/article/1EywTnGrZdDqCoxKs2zNhZ/ubisoft-discontinues-development-on-xdefiant https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-to-sunset-xdefiant-in-2025-nearly-300-people-affected-by-layoffs https://www.ign.com/articles/xdefiant-closed-beta-first-impressions https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2024/04/30/xdefiant-doesnt-feel-like-a-call-of-duty-killer-to-me/ https://www.gamesindustry.biz/xdefiant-executive-producer-refutes-rumours-of-shutdown-amid-ubisoft-troubles https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xdefiant-boss-reacts-to-progression-issues-outlines-changes-and-admits-he-screwed-up/1100-6524450/ https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/xdefiant-preview https://news.ubisoft.com/es-es/article/P0TCi0Q4ENHftn2QfKMTB/tom-clancys-xdefiant-brings-universes-together-in-a-competitive-shooter https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2021/07/20/who-is-tom-clancys-xdefiant-for-exactly/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2021/07/19/tom-clancys-xdefiant-is-80-call-of-duty-20-overwatch-and-0-splinter-cell/ https://www.ubisoft.com/xdefiant-our-message-to-players https://insider-gaming.com/xdefiant-player-numbers-2/ https://www.eurogamer.net/ubisoft-drops-tom-clancys-name-from-xdefiant https://gamerant.com/competitive-fps-xdefiant-surpassed-call-of-duty-warzone-twitch/ https://www.pcgamesn.com/xdefiant/delay https://www.polygon.com/22583452/ubisoft-tom-clancy-xdefiance-trailer-announcement-release-date https://insider-gaming.com/xdefiant-player-numbers/ https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/xdefiant-season-2-check-out-release-date-new-content-and-leaks-revelations/articleshow/112410866.cms https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/xdefiant-players-furious-as-cheaters-take-over-lobbies-with-super-jumps-speed-boosts-more-2793184/ https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/xdefiant-is-ditching-skill-based-matchmaking-because-ubisoft-thinks-its-not-good-for-fun-or-variety-and-it-means-every-casual-game-is-repetitive/#:~:text=XDefiant%20is%20ditching%20skill%2Dbased,casual%20game%20is%20repetitive%22%20%7C%20GamesRadar+ https://x.com/PixelsofMark https://insider-gaming.com/behind-xdefiant-toxic-work-culture-crunch-and-years-of-delays/ https://www.ign.com/articles/days-after-shutting-xdefiant-and-laying-off-hundreds-of-staff-ubisoft-is-reportedly-considering-how-to-structure-a-tencent-buyout-without-the-guillemot-family-losing-control https://www.mobygames.com/person/615098/brendan-geiger/ https://www.mobygames.com/person/743985/jonathan-breitner/
