Read some of the reviews on Steam. It was kind of a mess tbh...sounds like it had a cash shop, buy to play, some terrible combat mechanics ect. No one was really playing it.
Yeah, ngl they came out throwing punches which was kinda uncalled for and was a kind of a facepalm moment. Not sure if was for attention, or out of ignorance but it sure didn't help to alienate a potential playerbase.
We sound of on the industry all the time, we are gamers, studios should not do that, particular ones that have not proved they can produce anything.

Watched a YouTube video yesterday on the history of "Death by Selfie."
Took until around 2012 for the 1st death before the modern era kicked off via Smartphones and almost 2 years before a 2nd one happened.
According to the commentator the current Death by Selfie rate is up to one a week.
Time to go watch more Tik Tok or YouTube videos of people doing incredibly dangerous stunts even if the fatal ones are usually blocked from view.

https://www.riotgames.com/en/diversity-and-inclusion/industry#:~:text=In 2020, Riot created the,of our Riotwide investment portfolio.
The Twin Drums website looks like it was designed by trend analysts of a pre-COVID19 game industry, or simply put; person A asked a web designed: "Make our website appear like we are professionals and come from a place of tested experience."
That's just some of the many warning signs that stuck out to me that this was probably a doomed project from the start. The makings of people pushing themselves into a struggling industry with no actual passion or know-how, and hoping they can just learn as they go and will be fine.
It also appeared like this tiny tiny studio was making the same mistake so many startups make when they are lucky enough to be funded by outside investors; they immediately reach for the stars and try to do things they do not come close to having the experience or funding to even pull off, and when it all falls apart they claim calamity is to blame.
When will newly minted dev teams learn that they have to start off small, manageable and realistic, and then work their way up?

Which still leaves us with nearly every MMO being based on fantasy/SF versions of Europe (they went on a lot about that) or the Far East (they conveniently forgot about Asian MMOs). So putting the game to one side, we need MMOs set in Africa, South America, Australia, the Artic, just somewhere else. Going to be a long wait.
In short, they set up a gate but those who did muscle through didn't care to stay.
Oh well the right thing happened here, and it would have been the right thing if the skin tones were white. Racism should have no place in modern society, and regardless of the racism this game was a pile of trash.
It's so exhausting seeing some people non-ironically push the idea that certain groups can't be racist. That is fundamentally misunderstanding what racism is, and everyone has the potential of doing it.
Hell, you can be "racist" with anything; from skin color to eye color and natural hair color. There's no real distinction in discrimination, and the people saying "black people can't be racist" is such a fallacy that makes me head hurt.
Regardless, it's not really that surprising to see yet another Kickstarter MMO bite the dust. Whether it was due to mismanagement or not is up there. The genre is unfortunately very difficult to penetrate as an idie studio, since you need a lot of money.

Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
Pretty much a text book description of how to fail at making an MMO. Add to the witches brew Allan Cudicio seeming to be a seriously egotistical prick who happily set about alienating what could have been a large portion of his customer base and you have one hell of a train wreck on your hands.
