Ask yourself the same question every publisher who turned the game down asked
>Why would it have succeeded?

Against dudebro platform & tried to shitting on it.

I'll be honest, I'm a sucker for fast paced shooters. I played the shit out of quake, doom, time splitters, Titanfall 1/2 etc. and I thought Lawbreakers looked pretty fun. But after seeing CliffyB talk so much shit the whole time, I was really happy to see it fail so fucking hard

poor marketing and basically is not stylish at all.
all characters look or act the same.
even the fucking medic.

Ok new mystery: what is this post trying to communicate?

Blowing your marketing money on diversity-PR instead of selling the game (or better yet, an actually-appealing non-generic design theory) probably probably didn't do them any favors. As usual.

Otherwise it's just another example of pushing the new hip genre (i.e. Overwatch clones) faster than CoD did with military shit or DayZ for survival beta's.

Cliffy shat on the X-box audience he gained from Gears and only released for PC and PS3.

NO $60 DOLLAR MULTIPLAYER ONLY BULLSHIT

because despite its advertising it was slow as fuck for all but one class and the weapons are all boring hitscan garbage because cant have console gamers needing to predict shots or anything

For the last time, if you don't have good looking characters in your game, no one will give a shit. Do you think Overwatch is so successful because the gameplay is fun or because people can connect with their favorite characters and try to git gut in order to do justice to him/her.
Lawbreakers has fuck ugly protagonists and I couldn't care less about these characters or their struggles

Time and time again the answer is ActiviBlizzard and Overwatch

because it's mascot is just a photoshop brush file and they decided to drop their only game changing feature (F2P) last second. They didn't even add tiddies to at least get in the running with paladins. I think they knew it was a flop and cliffy bought gaming life insurance and purposefully lit his game on fire so he could get the pay out.

Should've been free to play my dude, nothing is gonna take Overwatch from its throne for a long time. The developer behind this game I think had good intentions, but it just should've been free to play, or 5$

>should have been 5$
What a fucking offensive thing to say. Imagine you work your ass off in your job for several months and then the fruit of your labor is worth 5$

Ugly characters was the main reason, but there are others.

Free games make more than paid games in today's climate. No game is free except for indies who don't value their own time. Free games that are published have schemes to get a return on their investment one way or another, and in this case it's ugly skins and loot boxes. People would probably be playing Lawbreakers if it were free and not this "$29.99, not like that $59.99 multiplayer only bullshit".

This
I knew they were bad but not THIS bad

The flame that bursn twice as bright.................

Fake and gay. There are some worse than dumpster fire webms with 2-3 Lawbreakers characters.

if there are, they are not in paheal

and with how ugly the characters are, they can sell people character faces that are not ugly and make tons of money from that.

Cliffy B really is an asshole with a big mouth.
