I mean he was kinda the xbox dude, but nah that wouldn't have saved the game either cause of overwatch explosion and the looming threat of battle royal games

Yes. That's what it was, Cliffy.

Why won't this dude just be silent about LawBreakers already?

Sure, putting a generic, boring-ass game that was dead from the moment it was announced on a console with a bigger playerbase was a mistake. Sure, Cliff. Was putting Radical Heights on Steam a mistake as well?

Stirring up lukewarm controversy to sell a memoir. Almost fell for it.

I like Cliffy B but let's be real, the on-going dominance of Overwatch, Rainbow Six, and Call of Duty around the time of Lawbreaker's release was always going to cripple that game regardless of the console it was on. Plus, it didn't stand out enough to be some sort of pioneering, explosive hit like the battle royale genre saw with PUBG.

I guess he's not wrong in terms of brand association, but platforms were the least of Lawbreaker's problems.

LawBreakers wasn't bad, it just wasn't needed. I wish someone could go back and stop them from making it. I remember the first reveal stream where they only showed concept art for a weapon.

Kinda obnoxious (but not surprising) that he thinks the game failed because he left his personal fan base behind.

Though to be honest I've never heard of it so maybe he's right.

As much as a flop as the game was, it was weird that for someone known to one crowd via Gears...and then decide to toss a game to the other console was...strange Is it why it failed? No. But, it certainly didn't help it.

The hate boner for Cliffy is really insane. I feel like he's on the same level than Trump when it comes to pure hate on Era.

Anyway, I'm curious to read more about his career, especially the Gears and the Boss Key parts.

Let Lawbreakers go, Cliffy B. The game was advertised well, was hotly discussed, and ultimately undesired in the end. Nearly nobody felt it was worth their time.

Hopefully that wasn't his only takeaway from the abject failure of Lawbreakers

I saw tons of commercials for it too, so surely it wasn't Sony's fault there. That shitty cover of "Spirit In the Sky" with the rap verse... bleughhhh.

This man is in deep, deep denial.

Its surprising to see him on Twitter and not Vero with how in denial he is about the failures of his projects

It also reeeeealy didn't help that Overwatch was well established and everyone under the sun was comparing your game to it.

Did not know it was exclusive. Glad it was on PS4 though because I got it because of a friend and did have a lot of fun with it. Shame it just died off pretty quick.

"Hate boner"? This is the umpteenth time he's resurrected the Lawbreakers name, and with each subsequent resurrection, we will enjoy poking fun harder. Nobody here hates the man or his work ... it's just that he continues to make headlines for suggesting that the game might have been a success. To this, we all share a big honkin' laugh.

This definitely wouldn't have saved it. And btw, it makes me sad when people shit on Lawbreakers when they likely haven't played it. It was a cool game.
