This is one of the problems of growing up in a different age. This was advertised, but are you any of the places they promoted it? It was the main game in a state of play, they bought ad space on steam, and I assume it was advertised elsewhere where I wouldn't have seen it. But not everybody is watching TV anymore, and we are on Lemmy. Probably not the best place to judge what's being advertised to the masses lol.

I watch plenty of streamers (about half of which play shooters), my primary gaming platform is Steam, and I do watch a small amount of TV, where other games have been advertised during this time. If they used those platforms for advertising, they didn't do it well. You got me on the State of Play tho
