Summary
The Day Beforerogue keys are currently being scalped on online marketplaces, and accounts with the game activated are being sold for absurd prices, reaching up to $1,000. Following the tumultuous release and subsequent removal ofThe Day Beforefrom Steam, scalpers have seized the opportunity presented by its delisting.
The Day Beforeentered early access on December 7. Despite significant pre-release hype, the game faced criticism for failing to deliver on promises, resulting in widespread negative reviews.The subsequent closure of FNTASTIC, the development studio, has left players without support for a broken game, amplifying the controversy surrounding it. However, it appears that some individuals are trying to capitalize on this situation.
Online accounts withThe Day Beforeactivated are being listed for as much as $1,000. In addition, as highlighted bySrGarrus on Twitter, individual keys are surfacing on various platforms at staggering prices, reaching up to $200. The G2A marketplace is also witnessing the resale of keys for the now-deleted FNTASTIC post-apocalyptic shooter at over $230, further emphasizing the trend. This is particularly striking, considering that the original price for the game was around $40.
Initially,The Day Beforesold approximately 200,000 copies, but more than half were refunded within a day. On the very day of its launch,The Day Beforeplayer count started to declinefrom its initial peak, and just a couple of days after its release, the game was left with an almost 90% decrease. Now, with the game removed from the Steam platform and becoming inaccessible, opportunistic individuals are capitalizing on its rarity and controversy.
One of the main complaints about the game was that it promised to be a massive multiplayer online (MMO), but upon release, players discovered it was an extraction shooter. While some fans thought this meant the developer couldn’t deliver on its promise and decided to change the focus of the game, a former FNTASTIC developer revealed thatThe Day Beforenever resembled anything like an MMO. The developer even acknowledged that no one from their team understood why they were calling it an MMO.
Despite publisherMytona committing to opening up refunds for anyone who purchasedThe Day Beforeon Steam, some players are clearly still interested in buying it.
