Description: UPDATE: New Steam/Gameforge population data concerning TERA following their merger/new publisher/live service. Not nearly as grim as it looked before, but not exactly successful either. (700 average players). Thank you for the catch detectives, my apologies :). steamcharts.com/app/212740 Merch: teespring.com/stores/nerdslayer-merch Patreon: patreon.com/nerdslayer Amazon: amazon.com/?tag=nerdslayerg-20 Humble Bundle:humblebundle.com/monthly?partner=nerdslayer Twitch: twitch.tv/nerdslayerrr Twitter: twitter.com/nerdslayerg Discord: discord.gg/nerdslayer #DOAG . 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.
