"Former Devs Slam $125 Million Immortals of Aveum as 'Truly Awful Idea' for Single-Player Shooter"

Despite positive reviews, the game's sales were far below projections, with developers attributing its underperformance to being overscoped for a debut project and struggling to find its core fantasy or target audience. The industry-wide layoffs also affected other game developers, such as those at Relic impacted by the underperformance of Company Of Heroes 3.
