    They raised 100 mil in funding and phased out the first game in order to work on the second. They didn’t lose the interest of their audience (source).

      The article says nothing of the sort. The article was released before the game was. It does actually say this though:

      The danger for any game is simply that people stop playing, so the team focused on retention and on listening to feedback from the community to make Splitgate a “forever game” that can go years, with “seasons,” new features and maps, and so on.

      Splitgate became a 3 month game, not a forever game. They are making a new one because it failed to retain the interest of the audience and the $100M from investors has to be made back, are they just gonna keep making new Splitgate’s and pray on hype to sell as many skins as they can in such short amounts of time?
