If I got a nickel for every popular zero-g game that quickly got shot down after release I would have two nickels. It's not much but it's weird it happened twice.

What was the other one? i am not really following any kind of PvP shooters, but I wasn't aware zero-g ones was a thing.

Or is trying to be a thing, apparently...

There was a VR sports game on Quest that was really popular where you threw discs at a goal. Forgot what it was called.

A bit hard to see how it actually plays from the video because VR, but it looks kinda cool.

Yeah, that's the one. Tons of people destroying their furniture while playing. And suddenly on the height of popularity it was shut down.
