Nobody is Talking About This Huge Flop

You think you're so slick on keeping secrets from me? You thought I wouldn't find out about one of the biggest flops of 2025? You thought you could bury that information without me unearthing it in order to huff the fumes of a Concord-level failure? You imbecile! Perhaps I'm being a bit gung-ho comparing this to a Concord-level disaster,

but this flop we're about to discuss is a really catastrophic one and I hadn't heard a peep about this until I just happened to stumble across an article going over it today. That is how under the radar this one has managed to fly even though presumably millions of dollars were spent on marketing it and developing it. It comes from Amazon that is the publisher of the game. Raise your hand if you've heard of King of Meat

Anyone that put their hand up I know is a liar. I don't trust you go fuck yourself You're tacky and I hate you in classic video game industry delusions some of the executives here at the higher level of the studios behind King of Meat were expecting this game to be pulling a hundred thousand concurrent players, but Unfortunately reality was a cruel mistress. She came through and slapped the fuck out of them. They couldn't even get a tiny whiff of four digits because this game peaked at 320 during a free weekend. King of Meat

is typically a $30 game. It's $30 right now and that's what I paid in order to play this. Anytime I have a chance to be part of history for like these kind of Unbelievable bombs like these absolute septic tank explosions of financial ruin I have to spend my money to at least be there put boots on the ground to experience it So I did spend $30 to play king of meat to see if it really is just fucking terrible

And that's why no one played it I've got a whole video of it up on my gaming channel, Moist Critical Gaming. Go subscribe, go check that shit out. Now like I said, this is a project that had presumably millions of dollars poured into it. This isn't just some like, random, you know, Steam stinker that a solo dev put together in one afternoon and only like three people on the planet have accidentally downloaded. This was a big production that they put a lot of oomph and elbow grease behind.

The biggest being a dedicated MrBeast video. On MrBeastGaming, he did an entire YouTuber challenge, beat this game, win $250,000, with 7 million views, he posted it two months ago, and it's all to promote king of meat he brought out a bunch of youtubers to exclusively play king of meat and Win money and it is an expensive production and set they put on here all to try and get people to flock to king of meat They thought by getting Jimmy beast on the horn for a dedicated video. It would put so much motion behind this project, but

Unfortunately, it's doing the black beetle challenge right now there's no motion in sight there's not an ounce of movement and i can't even imagine the price tag that this must have cost them like i can't i can't even fathom what an integration would cost in a mr. beast video let alone an entire dedicated video for it. Like that has to be in the seven figures. This is like a Super Bowl commercial to these companies no doubt. So to put that much money into

King of Meat and not see even a single crumb, not a morsel of return on that? Holy shit that is brutal. It's actually pretty interesting because now I'm really wondering what kind of return do companies see when buying slots on MrBeast content? Because we have very easily accessible data when it comes to King of Meat. Like even looking in the comments section of the 7 million view video that he posted which is exclusively an advertisement for this game, people seemed excited about it,

like it seemed like they were interested in it, that it's a well-received video, and not a single one of them seemed to have picked up the game themselves. It's pretty interesting. But maybe you could chalk that up to maybe it's just not their cup of tea. Maybe MrBeast Gaming doesn't have an audience of meat maniacs ready to go spin 30 clams on this product. Or maybe MrBeast's audience just kind of likes to eyes glaze over and just watch all the flashing colors in the stimulation and maybe don't want

to engage with whatever is being advertised there. Also entirely possible. I just find it so interesting because like I said I can't even imagine how much this must have cost. Now this is an Amazon published game so it's it's literally chump change to them even if it is in the seven figures. It doesn't matter to them. But I'll tell you who it does matter to is the actual developers behind the game.

Because according to the article, GlowMade Games, the studio behind King of Meat, is looking like the workforce will be suffering layoffs here. There's been word of layoffs confirmed by multiple Glowmaid employees on LinkedIn that come just a couple of months after King of Meats lackluster performance. So it's looking like there's going to be an unknown amount of employees that

will no longer be working at Glowmaid because of how poorly this has done. And there was apparently even discussions earlier about voluntary redundancies that would impact about a dozen people. It's all a little up in the air but it's looking like because this game has done so poorly they are going to be cutting a lot of team members. Which I feel bad for

everyone that's going to potentially lose their job from this game not performing well. And I think a lot of that falls on to potentially lose their job from this game not performing well. And I think a lot of that falls on to leadership's shoulders. After playing the game and even just looking at the Mr. Beast video and their ads, I could tell you this was never going to reach 100,000 concurrent players off RIP. It just, it's too corporate.

This is a game that doesn't have the same feeling as the other big party games that people actually are hooked on or immediately bit onto the nipple of. This is a game that does feel like suits trying to play a formula and capitalize off of how big these friend party games have become. It doesn't have that same feel to it. After playing it, I can tell you it's not a bad game or anything

but there's nothing in here that I feel like would ever have me go back to it. Like I would never choose to play King of Meat over any of the other like really fun party games and friend games that I play with my buddies. This feels like a game that would have released on the old Xbox 360 arcade that you play maybe one time with a friend of yours and then you both just say like let's just do casual crashers or something instead. This isn't a game that I think they should have ever

had that kind of expectation on with these huge fucking shoot for the stars to infinity beyond fucking Buzz Lightyear style predictions of like 100k concurrent players. That just sets up the entire team for failure and I feel like if they had just had it be more realistic, well maybe then they wouldn't be looking at layoffs they could have calibrated the budget, calibrated the marketing and everything to account for that. But you know they went hog wild buying a Mr. Beast dedicated video and

shit like that and a Mr. Beast partnership. He has an entire like dungeon in the game that you can play which like I said I couldn't even get enough people in a game to play so I ended up having to solo it myself I'll go ahead and put that footage here I guess but the thing is this is one of the biggest flops of the year and I haven't heard anyone talk about it yet I had to yap about it. It is fucking fascinating Mr. Beast dungeons

What I?. Mr. Beast Dungeons! Whaaat? I see Mr. Beast. Let's do it. Any Mr. Beast meters? Wait, my controller was vibrating. Does that mean somebody's about to show up? Somebody was thinking of playing? No the estimated time's going up, what's going on?

It can't be!

I'm alone!

Okay, I see how this is gonna go. Time to solo Mr. Beast in here. Is Jimmy gonna talk to me? I probably couldn't afford to have Mr. Beast do any VA for it. Yeah, I can do this. Clean! Clean! Ooh, close. But I'm in the perfect rotation right now.

Oh yeah, hit it! Oh yeah!

No! He said he'll let me see my family if I can complete beast dungeons in King of Meat. Oh just when you thought he was out of tricks. Oh just when you thought he was out of tricks.

I did it!
