Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered. Rules: 1: No discrimination or hate speech. 2: No affiliation links that do not belong to nerdSlayer. 3: No political/religious talk or debate . 4: Any points you make have to be substantiated either in explaining your opinion or when stating facts you need to back these up with reliable sources. 5: Do not argue moderation decisions in public, if you have an issue PM the mods. 6: We don't allow self promotion, giveaways or anything of similar nature from community members on this discord without nerdSlayer's permission. 7: Wherever possible if you initiate a discussion try to do so in an appropriate channel for it. For example game news could go in ⁠game-table a story on the latest EVE heist however would belong in ⁠mmo-booth or the latest GPU shortage can go in ⁠tech-wizards 8: Spoilers have to be marked at all times as a spoiler by using /spoiler or || before and after the message. Beside this outside of the spoiler you should make clear ahead of it what the spoiler is about, like the latest chapter in a video game or something. 9: Please do not @ mention any of the staff or in general abuse @ mentions. People will respond on their own accord when needed and when they desire to do so. (Exception for moderators if their presence is needed for enforcement) Sources: https://store.steampowered.com/app/444090/Paladins/ https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/444090?updates=true https://www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/53qusf/a_brief_history_of_paladins_as_response_to/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIjeuE6YaIc https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/444090/view/4042499938193900900 https://www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/4wgpgk/cb30_has_actually_completely_ruined_paladins_for/ https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/444090/view/523081237389115573 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/444090/view/4042499938193900462 https://steamcharts.com/app/444090 https://www.mmorpg.com/news/hi-rez-studios-restructures-with-titan-forge-and-evil-mojo-to-continue-development-and-publishing-2000128300 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/444090/view/4042499938193899050 https://www.pcgamer.com/games/moba/hi-rez-will-only-be-giving-minor-updates-to-smite-and-paladins-now-its-laying-off-around-70-employees-but-dont-worry-smite-2-is-the-primary-focus-of-the-newly-streamlined-operations/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/98o63y/what_is_ob64/ https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fpaladins-development-is-being-halted-v0-26kpabu8zjhe1.png%3Fs%3Debf18b52c3094006caec9822f94bfae3ae792da8 https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/hi-rez-studios-cut-dozens-of-staff-from-smite-team https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdIFfTazU6M https://www.wired.com/story/overwatch-boasts-7m-players-in-first-week/ https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/paladins-when-a-shooter-and-a-ccg-have-a-baby https://www.androidauthority.com/paladins-strike-859764/ https://paladins.fandom.com/wiki/Paladins_Wiki https://www.metacritic.com/game/paladins-champions-of-the-realm/critic-reviews/?platform=nintendo-switch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paladins_(video_game)
