QUESTION 2 : What is the common trait in Concord, Babylon's Fall and Anthem?

Bonus question 1 : Name a Pokémon. You win if it's the one I'm thinking of. That's it. No clue, no nothing. Theres now 1028. You can try any time you can answer a question. May the odds be in your favor.

Is it the greatest pokemon of all time, Avalugg my beloved? Did not see the condition, woopsies!

Bulbasaur oops didn't see the condition

Riolu oh oops couldn't see the condition

All those 3 games were dead on arrival as nobody asked for these games, being corporate built games who nobody was excited for. That didn't keep them from investing millions into these online games, thereby effectively flushing that money down the toilet though!

I'm going with Gengar because he's my favorite purple boi.

Hmmm... Even though I can't disagree with that, the answer lacks the keywords I was looking for. Besides, it would be unwise to label any cultural product as a "thing nobody asked for", as if we were to listen to expectations on those we'd get nothing but COD and MarioKart clones.

I'll let you answer again immediately though.

As for the Pokémons, let me clarify, I just want you to not spam messages as soon as you get rejected. What's why I'd prefer that you pair your guesses with answers to your actual questions. By the way, none of you got it, 1024 Pokémen remain.

Alright then, I agree with your assessment of it as a cultural product in spirit but I disagree in practice as Concord specifically was meant as a lazy Overwatch clone in my perception. Seemed to me they just wanted to capitalize on something that other companies were making money with without really changing the formula or inventing something new.

Uhmmmm they're multiplayer games that were expected to do really well, perhaps projected to even becoming e-sports eventually according to the CEOs/managers/shareholders, but failing to meet commercial demands? They're dead multiplayer games? Which essentially means they're unplayable? Stop killing games.

This time I'm going with Meowth.

Oh yeah, in practice game devs chase what is popular and oversaturate the market.

Your answer still lacks the keyword I'm after but I'll give it to you anyway since you describe it anyway : they're live service games whose service was shut down.

That no player featured on the cover of a Madden game has won the superbowl the following year?

Damn I was about to suggest that

I guess the alternative is that the player has a serious injury?

That the player on the cover never wins the Super Bowl again?

There are a few interpretations, the most common one is that the featured player has a terribly inproductive season. However, since all examples are unproductive due to injury (or in some case injuries), the two notions are indistinguishable

QUESTION 5 : Voltorbattle!

A different concept for those who are familiar with Voltorbattle : it's a game of a bit of wits and a bit of chance. Here is the grid. Hidden behind this panel can be four results : 1, 2, 3 or Voltorb.

You can pick a box, any box, and the result is multiplied to your current score (If you're at 0, it gets added instead). But god forbid you get a Voltorb, because it will explode and remove you from the game.

Next to each row and column are hints : the numbers of points in each row/column added and the number of Voltorbs hidden.

The game ends when all panels that are 2 and 3s are revealed. The person with the most points is declared the winner for this question.

The game has been randomly generated by the game (with emulator). May the odds be in your favor (again. I swear it's not a theme)

I don't understand the game. So we pick a card and then you tell us if it's right or wrong, we tell you the order of the cards flipped...?

The idea is to pick one card per message. I tell you the result behind the card and if you're not eliminated you can try again.

(I'm trying to kickstart engagement)

Alright here's my pick! I'm going with Pikachu!

Mmm okay, although I had a couple of candidates there
Flip that one please

DaveRattlehead : 3
Rsandee : 1

The game continues

Let's goooo
