The highly anticipated game, ‘The Day Before’, was eagerly awaited by many, generating excitement upon its release. Yet, the early enthusiasm faded quickly. After playing the game, players experienced disappointment. This led to a shift in their perception. Instead of the advertised post-apocalyptic MMO, the reality fell far short.
Fntastic, the developers, addressed the backlash with an official statement on Twitter and their website acknowledging the disappointment.
Additionally, the developer announced an unexpected and sudden shutdown of their company.
This caused an influx of refund requests from dissatisfied players. It even prompted fellow game developers like Running with Scissors (Postal) to join in the demand for refunds.
After the backlash, the developers of ‘The Day Before’ responded via a tweet. They offered players the choice to obtain refunds if they were dissatisfied with their experience.
The community and developers understand the challenges of game development. They criticized Fntastic for the stark disparity between promised features and the final product.
