This is the kind of post that tends to age badly...

But the questions are... how many were able to really play a game with no bugs? hehehe
Or how many players were able to get their level progression up (and not frozen at Level X)?

Having a lot of players on day 1 is fine... but the real achievement will be if that number stays and players still play the game in a week, a month... or two... That's the goal...

And I hope TCM achieve that where so many other games failed...
I think DBD and TCM are different enough to co-exist... but with what I'm seeing with TCM now, I doubt they will... Sadly!

How do facts age badly?

This. RE Resistance had a lot of players at first, and it IS a very fun game - I don't know the numbers it had at launch but man playing now is downright impossible. I mean you can but be ready to wait 30 minutes between games to search for a lobby. And I remember it died pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fast.
Online games can die fast no matter how good they started. It depends on many factors but the devs also have a big part in it. I hope they'll handle it right, I do, but they often don't. I hope it won't suffer the same fate as others games like this but I have Resistance flashbacks everytime I think about it.

Funny part is there was no day one patch. People get pissed when there isn't, people get pissed when there is.

Only bug I've had that actually impacted my play is that every few games I get "Invalid Credentials" when in a party. That's fixed by re-launching the game.

As far as retaining players, Wes already said they have tons of plans for the game. Only thing that would kill this game is if they didn't fix the technical issues which they did as fast as they could with F13, even gave a peek behind the scenes as to why they happened. I can 100% they can co-exist.

All the reviews love the game except the technical and lack of content, all to be expected on launch day.

Most F13 tech issues were fixed release month and they were already teasing more content for F13 before the legal issues began (2-3 months after game launch)

They have a plan and it can be executed well. Unfortunately, the F13 game ruined their ability to show that and this is their chance TO show it. I have full faith in them.

I rather take this positive thread than the 5-10 "LOL this game ded" clown farm.

Resident evil resistance reached an all time peak of 4000 on Steam what do you mean a lot of players? LOL

Not to mention looking back on steam charts the numbers dipped on that game literally within hours and continued going down until a slight bump in december of that year. Since then it's been down steady

They're looking into the issue and have offered current tech support troubleshooting steps. I can't say as I personally don't have it constantly. When I do get it, restarting fixes it.

Also, looking into it, you left a positive review on a silver bundle for destiny 2 so pretty sure any input you give with pretty much any game for the rest of time will be taken with half a grain of salt.

People left F13 because less than two months after they were told legally they couldn't add anything to it. People left VHS because it was exclusive to the discord platform for about a year and by the time it moved to steam it was too late.

As far as Propnight goes, are you really comparing the devs to Fntastic? A dev company who couldn't care less about the games they dev? You know, the people making The Day Before?

Also as far as "Zero content", it's literally the day after launch. DBD launched with 3 killers. Had a total of 3 locations. Technically 12 maps but they were just variations of the same location just laid out a bit differently.

I think a lot of people forget how DBD launched and the fact that it took 2 years for the game to start seeing steady growth.
