Redfall

StreamerHouse peaked at 692 viewers in 2023 for Redfall, Arkane Austin's catastrophic vampire shooter that became the year's biggest disappointment. The May 2023 launch streams were painful—30fps console lock, PC performance issues across all GPUs, AI enemies that didn't react to gunfire, and traversal stutter that patches barely fixed. The house watched in real-time as "Mostly Negative" Steam reviews piled up, with players calling it a contender for worst PC port of 2023 alongside Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Arkane, the studio behind Prey and Dishonored masterpieces, delivered a co-op looter shooter with bugs around every corner and missing 60fps mode at launch. StreamerHouse documented not just a broken game but the death of Arkane Austin's reputation, comparing it to Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous state. The year was 2023, and Redfall killed a legendary studio.
