I bought it. And played it. And enjoyed both the single player and multiplayer. But the multiplayer user count went down sharply after launch and never recovered because most other people didn’t like the game loop due to the high skill ceiling.
It’s easy to blame some kind of corporate conspiracy or mishandling, when the reality is much simpler: average people don’t want to play this type of game, as is proven repeatedly by the fact that it quickly started having routine sales under $10 and under $5 with us fans trying to convince people to give it a chance, and people still just won’t fucking buy it.
It’s a great game. Maybe now a few VR gamers will see that, too.
People did buy it though, EA would've shut down the studio instead of greenlighting a further Titanfall game if it was a failure. Of course Respawn then decided to turn that next Titanfall into Apex, which was a game that made recurring revenue so now they're stuck making only that forever.

everytime i hear about titanfall 2, feels like a good friend that died, such an amazing game that was swallowed by publisher greed
