Does Cliff Bleszinski Understand Why LawBreakers Bombed?

The game designer published an Instagram post suggesting "hackey politics" contributed to the game's failure. But it's simpler than that.

Cliff Bleszinski is a relic.

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

Clearly he does not.

I don't think he's 'Woke' enough.

Yeah, Apex is "woke" af and it's huge. It always felt like Lawbreakers bombed because of Cliff. But really I think it didn't capture attention and they didn't have enough faith in it to work on it and make it better over time. A lot of the top MP games right now didn't necessarily launch well but they just grinded their way to the top.

[BeRich233]

It bombed because there were no chainsaws.

[Patricko]

His ego doesn't allow him to understand that.

[LightofDarkness]

He tried to go against Blizzard with a hero shooter that had practically zero marketing. He could've given it away for free and failed. Is he really so myopic as to think it's because he injected "woke" politics into it? I didn't even know it had any politics in it. Maybe start with how nobody knew much about it.

I personally found the art, premise and gameplay concept boring. I think most people did.

[CrimsonWing69]

Nope.

[lellkay]

The game sucked. end of.

[hentaicollector]

Never even heard of that game.

[Rachel_Alucard]

Painfully boring game. The competition just outpaced it on every front and came out beforehand. No reason to go play a new game in the same genre when it offers nothing new.

[SyntheticForm]

He may understand, but I don't think he's being honest when he blames "wokeness" for the game's failure. He's pandering to a certain crowd in hopes of getting himself support and attention. Quite shameful honestly.

No more excuses, Cliff. Just make a good game, or don't, but do stop the shameless bottom-of-the-barrel scraping and pandering.

Advice: Perhaps dont use social media anymore.

[Fist4achin]

I'd heard the game was decent, but no marketing, oversaturation, and some gamers with a general dislike for him probably added up to cause the game to fail.

I don't mind his games, but I can understand how people might not be a fan of him.

[MetroidFREAK21]

No, he's a dumbass

[adamwparker]

It bombed because it was just too woke.

...err, I mean weak. It was too weak.

[Question_Mark]

There are a lot of things Cliff doesn’t understand.

[JelalTrueshot]

Apparently, he's got no clue.

[Smokehouse]

He wasn’t woke enough to get a 200 million dollar investment from companies like Disney. You can say whatever you want then, right vice?

[Chumdiddy]

No. Next question.
