Oh right, I never actually finished going over a bit of this when I first got into it... and I think it was even my first attempt at streaming a PC game and all.

Reception for this so-called "Smash killer" have cooled tremendously since it finally came to us... it got pretty frosty even right upon release, in fact. Suffice to say, it won't be killing anyone anytime soon.

The writing was on the wall when I only knew one other person out there interested in taking the plunge on a whim... and he's bounced back pretty bombastically when we get to finally inspect this pig in a poke. Fairweather friends! (They already got money! More of it than I care to contemplate!)

Actually, a big part of why you're even seeing this is because there was a pretty surprisingly steep discount around the game's launch... perhaps that should've been yet another clue. (N-no, that's just how PC gaming prices are! Always in flux!)

Honestly, the results often enough speak for themselves. Online is a monumentally difficult task to implement effectively... and... there are many obvious and not-so-obvious pitfalls along the way.

What IS clear is that when something's not working, it's never fun. it can really cool attitudes and make people unwilling to give it another shot anytime soon.

BUT. I think there are a lot of good... er... good-adjacent ideas at work here. I'm surely going to remember to try getting back to it again... ... ... eventually.

(When do we get to play Slap City again?!)
