Are PvP shooters starting to mimic the same trajectory as MMORPG's?
I thought about posting this on the general gaming sub but wanted discussion with people who would be more intimately familiar with the fall of the MMORPG genre. It seems to me it's happening more often than not now a new shooter comes out and almost immediately dies because it fails to capture an audience because there's so many big fish people are attached to and it's near impossible to get them to move away from even with big money and marketing behind them like we saw Highguard go down earlier this year after getting the prime spot at TGA and now Marathon seems to be steadily bleeding players even with Bungie's rep and cultish fan base. It's reminding me a lot of the last big moment for MMOs in the early 2010's up til now where games come out just to close down because it's hard to pull people away from WoW, XIV, GW2, etc
