Part 2/10:
The trailer for Dustborne immediately drew skepticism from viewers, who recognized it as less about gameplay and storytelling and more about virtue signaling. Critics and players alike saw through the veneer and predicted the game would face backlash — which it did. Upon release, the game struggled to attract players, with current numbers hovering around just 31 active players, and an all-time peak of only 76. These figures clearly signal a commercial failure, confirming that the game's reception has been overwhelmingly negative.
