What constitutes to a game to be a big failure? There is no strict answer to this, as we can look it from mulitple perspectives. There is this overhyped expectation vs reality failure, promises not being fullfilled. But are these games really a failure? I mean Anthem sold more than 5 million units. Fallout 76 and No Mans' Sky was a failure on launch, but they redeamed and are successfull now. Similarly Battlefield 2042 and Call of Duty Black Ops 7 are failure compared to the previous entries in the series, but are still one of the top selling and played games of the year. For some Halo Infinite would be a failure, but I don't think it's that bad to be on this list. It's just disappointing like the newest Call of Duty entry. Also there are failures, which I personally do not see it as such, but they are failures from development cost. Shenmue on the original Dreamcast is cited often as such.

I haven't even heard of half of these, so I guess that might make them a failure. What dictates the size of a failure though? Surely 0 players is 0 players.

Seems more and more companies are competing for this most prestigious award.

I feel like a game being overhyped is such a sad way for a game to fail. I kind of wish marketing took a back seat during most of the games development. It just doesnt make sense to put out a really good announcment trailer years before release.
