In its first week, Immortals of Aveum had a peak count of just 751 players on Steam. (steamdb.info)

After 5 years in development and heavily pushing Unreal Engine 5 technologies, Immortals of Aveum was met with a whopping 751 player peak. For reference, Forspoken was considered a flop but still had over 12,000 players peak total. This may be the biggest flop of the year.

I swear, every third white male protagonist is named Jack.

Well, when the protag isn't the important part, you try to make him less attention grabbing. Thus white male jack.

This can really work well, but holy fuck can it fall flat.
