The “Modern Audience” Never Came: 1348 Ex Voto Flops Hard

If you spent any time on gaming X/Twitter over the couple of months, you've probably seen the usual suspects like PC Gaymer and IGN hyping up 1348 Ex Voto as the next big medieval game.According to the team's marketing push, it had supposedly huge wishlist numbers, a passionate following, and a story crafted specifically for the mysterious “modern audience” that developers and journalists love to talk about.Then the game launched.Reality showed up fast and without mercy.

In the other corner - you have Windrose, a pirate survival game that quietly blew past 1,000,000 wishlists and then proceeded to pull an overwhelming 22,000 concurrent players into its demo.
