Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

I'm not entirely oblivious to gaming news, but the literal first I had ever heard of this game was when they announced that it was being shut down. Methinks after eight years of development it could've had a few more dollars tossed into the marketing budget.
Word of mouth of something great/fun and exciting should be all the marketing a company really needs. I personally don't trust or listen to any ads. They are cancer to the brain and eyes/ears because it's typically lies or false claims...or they make cinematic trailers which don't even represent the game at all because... cinematic.
See stardew valley for a prime example.
I'm not saying that would be a better experience for players, just that if they wanted it to succeed they should probably have done more marketing.
