"Just because you are big enough to build something doesn’t mean people will use it."
I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

They were competing?
I once playtested their MMO, I believe it was called "New World". It sucked balls. Didn't realize they were also trying to get going with game distribution.
It has improved but it feels like someone made LOTR The Two Towers game from the 2000s into a mmo.
It had a somewhat interesting combat system for an MMO, but there were a TON of glaring gameplay and balance issues that essentially guaranteed the game would be dead after a month or two.
People kept finding exploits to fuck the economy so they kept turning off trading which made it difficult to progress. I think my issue was lack of storage and you needed money to get more if I remember right. I got bogged down with inventory management and never touched it again.
