Is there a better article that explains what's going on here? What is (was) Fntastic? What is/was "The Day Before"? What makes this relevant to hacking/startups?
This brief paragraph leaves me with no idea whether this was a documentary, a crypto product, a timepiece, a React framework, or what.
> The Day Before arrived on the market and turned out to be very different from what everyone expected. The game is not only full of bugs and assorted problems, but also has a different gameplay structure than promised. The team was in fact talking about an MMO, or a massively multiplayer online game. In reality, it is more of a draw game.
> Players and streamers who are playing the game say it’s more of an extraction shooter, à la Tom Clancy’s The Division, without the balance or depth of similar shooters.
HackerNews is about sharing things that may be of interesting to software hackers and startups, not necessarily topics directly related to those two things.
I was 100% sure it was a game just from the headline even though I have never heard of Fntastic or "The Day Before" before this headline.
"The Day Before" is a really strong hint, the quotes indicate that it is a title; so book, movie, game, etc. You don't write "The React" or "The Bitcoin". So, could be a documentary.
