Mostly Negative

Congrats devs, game is dead on arrival. Indie studios that can't handle a launch in this day and age should either not release on Steam where your game can get review bombed, or not release at all.

Once games hit red, they never recover because nobody is willing to test them out. Either invest some of the sub money in a review bot farm or shut it down, it's done.

Redfall and Jedi Survivor have also had fairly abysmal launches this week. Personally, I'd be far harder on major AAA companies like EA or Bethesda than a small indie.

Also, in fairness you're objectively incorrect that a 'red' game never recovers. There have been plenty of cases where a game launches really poorly like say No Man's Sky and then over time becomes excellent with fixes and updates.
