AI Summary

Riot reflected that its own unrealistic player‑count expectations—requiring “high hundreds of thousands, if not millions” of users—undermined 2XKO from launch. The company noted a missed window to support the fighting‑game community, citing the release of Street Fighter 6 eight years after 2XKO’s development began. Riot praised its development team’s talent and the game’s quality, but acknowledged the misaligned targets contributed to the title’s failure.
