I haven't met a single person who has ever played this game once, or even mentioned it for that matter.
It wasn't a bad game, but calling it a MOBA was their biggest mistake. It was more of an ARPG with match independent leveling for the characters.
What a surprise.
Was this game free? as I have it on my steam but I don't remember buying it

Yeah I agree. From what I played it was pretty okay, but I only played the co-op portion. I'm sure if they didn't use the Dead Island brand, or call it a MOBA of all things, it would have done better.
felt like just yesterday they gave me like 5 beta passes which I never bothered activating nor give them out.
I played the beta a lot and it was quite fun, but the main problem with it was most of the the modes had three teams and it always ended up one team getting ganged up on and had some balacing major issue
They utterly failed at building a community.
Not to mention, the "MOBA" market is super saturated as it is, so you need to have something really excellent if you want to get a share of it.
Imagine how depressing it must be to work on one of these games that come out to no buzz, get no players and then its all shut down.

Exactly.
Everyone wants the DotA/LoL audience, but they're never going to get it, because they're just going to keep playing those two games.
But hell be damned they wont pump out MOBAs and try to get them.
It's the same rationale as when CoD was hyper-popular and everyone was making CoD clones to try to ape its success.

I'm pretty sure it was going to be f2p but you could pay $15 for beta access.
I tried a bit of the beta when I got invited. It wasn't terrible, and I remember liking a few things, but really it needed to do more to live in this market.

I did, it was pretty crap. The biggest problem was the F2P elements, they were pretty poor.

I got it when I was given the GOTY edition of Dead Island for my birthday, I tried it out and it was very bland and uninspired.
I wonder how many copy mobas will die along with Epidemic?
I remember stupidly buying the epidemic pack or whatever while it was on sale. Can I get a refund on this? :v:

Hopefully most of them so the market won't be saturated to shit with them, then I can't wait to see which genre gets filled with annoying bullshit clones next.

It's open world games now.
Shit, I still have the Open Beta Gifts in my Steam inventory.
