Amazon expected this co-op party game to draw in 100,000+ active players, but it hit an all-time peak of just 320 on Steam and now it's closing for good just 6 months after it launched (www.pcgamer.com)

'Member when online games let people host their own servers?

Right? I think this is the answer to why people don't get invested in a game like this. The publisher asks customers for money upfront, then continues to ask through in game purchases, forcing a connection to them whenever you use it all the while holding a button that can cut off access to everything you paid them for. The rational response is to refuse this skewed bargain, and play something better.
