Yeah, the #F2P market has crashed. Being free is not enough anymore.

Your free game has to be really fun and enjoyable to bring players, and keep it fresh for sustained monetization.

We're past the attention economy to the time economy. You're not competing for attention, you're actively stealing invested time from other products/services for yours.

#2XKO, a standard fighting game (think #StreetFighter) from Riot Games will end active development at the end of the year.

Riot developed this game for 10 years and they are going to end dev within its launch year and keep the servers up. They're also going to sell nearly all cosmetics for a simple $40 purchase.

Many people think this is terrible. But I for one believe that fighters should not have an active dev cycle, and the way Riot is closing dev without closing the game is well played.

WE don't live in a world where I am willing to go pick up Vampire Saviors or Street Fighter 3 or a King of Fighters made before the Obama administration. I'm not gonna suddenly stop disliking the cast of Under Night.

If forced to choose between "being dragged to Hell by Night Demons" and "Playing Super Smash Bros again" I'd sigh and pick the Night Demons

I'm a Fighting game diehard, not a purist. I like going to tourneys, but I also like high production value. I like seasonal character releases and balance patches and big expressive English voice acting. I like getting excited for new games and mechanics and characters

But when i pick up a game, "labor of love" vs "Soulless cash grab" is low on my list of criteria.

Fighting games are difficult and obtuse and communal and frustrating and more exciting satisfying than just about anything in the world. But most players have to go through all that shit before they get to good shit in the back half of that sentence.

Street Fighter 6's World Tour mode is good. it's the most time ive put into a single player mode of a fighting game since... Soul Caliber 2's Weapon Master mode.

It's only possible cause that game had a huge budget.

#2XKO "flopped" as much as it was sabotaged by a stupid name and poor marketing and niche subgenre and small roster and unrealistic expectations from the soulless company that made it.

But no, i don't think big tourneys or cash pots are Bad Actually™. Big crowds excitedly watching high level gameplay is good for drawing new players in a genre with awful retention.

#2XKO is going be a finished game by 2027 and that's TRAGIC. My condolences to its players

Also that notice REALLY emphasizes how little money the game made, which feels rude especially cause they killed it so quick

To be expected.
They did everything they could to self-sabotage and make this a flop.
At this point I believe that this was the preferred outcome for them so they don't have to support another live service game, ngl.
Sad, could've been great.

Another EVO is in the books. From Street Fighter 6’s character diversity to newcomers like 2XKO, EVO 2026 was another fantastic weekend of fighting games.
