They launched it with a rootkit which conflicted with Riot's rootkit, then they later implemented micro transaction popups a couple of months later. It's no wonder to actual consumers as to why their player numbers plummeted.

That makes a lot of sense! I didn’t know they added the micro transaction stuff but that explains why reviews plummeted after a couple months.

Thanks for the details! (Or for telling me something I missed in the article)
