The Day Before: A Spectacular Failure
The Day Before Has Met Its End, Servers Closed To Players Starting Today, January 22.
The Day Before is officially dead and buried, 45 days after its release – GameTopic
The gaming world has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but few games can compete with the controversial and catastrophic journey of The Day Before. To put it lightly, this game was a complete disaster, culminating in its servers shutting down just 45 days after its highly anticipated release in Early Access.
Promises Broken and Trust Shattered
When The Day Before first burst onto the scene, it quickly became Steam’s most wishlisted game. However, it wasn’t long before a series of events unfolded, raising suspicion and concern among fans. Developer Fntastic was accused of shamelessly ripping off other games like The Division, Call of Duty, The Last of Us, Cyberpunk 2077, Grand Theft Auto V, and more. These allegations, along with a tumultuous trademark dispute, set the stage for the game’s downward spiral.
Amidst the chaos, Fntastic made promises that they simply couldn’t keep. The release date was delayed multiple times, with the PC version eventually arriving in Early Access, only to be met with disappointment. Players quickly realized that many of the features and mechanics Fntastic had promised were nowhere to be found. It seemed that this game was nothing more than a mirage, built on false hopes and broken dreams.
The Final Nail in the Coffin
As if things couldn’t get any worse, just four days after launch, The Day Before hit rock bottom. The player count plummeted, and the game earned a spot on Steam’s list of the worst games of all time. It was at this point that Fntastic delivered the final blow – they announced the closure of the game and their subsequent departure from the gaming scene.
In the aftermath of this spectacular failure, it comes as no surprise that The Day Before will forever be remembered as a high-profile “scam” video game. The scars it left on Steam users were so deep that other developers, like Palworld’s Pocketpair, had to go out of their way to reassure players that their own games were not scams.
