because it was superficially similar to Overwatch it absolutely bombed.
Sort of, the real issue was it had no advertising of its own, just Randy Pitchford synergising buzzwordsalad on twitter and trying to create a rivalry with Overwatch. Nobody really knew what it was supposed to be from advertising, because nobody thought to just say "FPS MOBA".
Battleborne - I found it enjoyable but because it was superficially similar to Overwatch it absolutely bombed.
I just clicked into this post to say this. I was an ISIC main.
Good lord yes. Overwatch is just a corporatized TF2 ripoff, but Battleborn was a creative, unique game with a soul.
Anyone who hasn't seen it should watch the game's intro cinematic, which gives a great sense of just how much character the game had.
