#TheDayBefore has a 13% positive score on Steam. Incredible stuff.

For those not following this multi year drama, it's the most wishlisted game on Steam... with some 'bold' marketing.

Screw it, Steam has a 2 hour refund policy. #TheDayBefore #videogames

lol, the devs have shut down their discord and deleted videos referencing it as an open world game

There's no servers listed, lols. #TheDayBefore

GossiTheDog,
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

okay, so I got into a server an...

there's no melee.
You can't vault.
You can't climb things.

It's in a city but there's no verticality.

There's no voice chat.

There's 'hold a button to send a quick chat' key, example popup:
"Who here is they want to get their ass wiped?"

I haven't seen any zombies or players after 15 minutes.

The game crashed once with the error "UE Survival Game has crashed", that was the entire message.

There's no FOV slider, widescreen

It's the #2 highest selling game on Steam, this is going to end up being a Netflix documentary, lol

The weirdest thing is it's billed as an "open world survival MMO" but.. it's not open world, it's not an MMO.. it's an extraction shooter.

The base extraction shooter design doesn't even work as there's only two exfil points, and you can camp them.

LOLolololololol

Scam complete. They probably made about $6m from sales, even including high refunds.

For those who don’t know, the company was two brothers.. and the staff were volunteers (fans basically).

IGN gives #TheDayBefore their first ever 1. “I’d have more fun hiding in a dumpster surrounded by actual zombies.” https://www.ign.com/articles/the-day-before-review

@GossiTheDog Not very surprising...

@GossiTheDog If someone hasn't already, might be worth someone checking whether the game code does anything unusual in the background. My spidey senses are tingling a bit.

@GossiTheDog

I feel like this is just because of how popular it is to hate the game and perhaps it isn’t actually deserving of a 1 but, was given a 1 for shock value and “haha right guys?? Guys??”. Sort of pandering and pathetic, should have gotten a real review. Obviously the game is terrible but, are we really going to say it was assigned a 1 fairly? Mmmm..no.

    I've just been looking at #TheDayBefore client and there's signs the developers were Russian, e.g. here's a loading screen they left in from 2022.

    The player base numbers for #TheDayBefore after 2 weeks are hilarious. This was the #1 most wishlisted game on Steam for years.

    @sebian@ioc.exchange avatar

    @GossiTheDog @stux is literally writing better games in javascript playable on your browser solo in days than this entire team did

    @sebian @GossiTheDog :bloblaugh: naaah, i've stopped with Unreal Engine a little while ago since i want everyone to be able to play without download but i can't get the "level" of grapgics in webGL yet 😇

    So far this one is pretty uh.. pretty? :flan_laugh:
