Market Disruption: pc update crash 4 Edition
The recent update for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time on PC has caused widespread issues, leading to a significant drop in concurrent players. According to SteamCharts, the game’s player count dropped by over 80% following the update, from a peak of over 10,000 to just over 2,000. This has resulted in lost revenue for Activision Blizzard, the game’s publisher, as well as negative sentiment towards the game from players. The situation highlights the potential impact of technical issues on the commercial success of video games.
