Finalmouse, the gaming mouse company known for its luxury models and tongue in cheek Twitter account, is facing huge backlash following the price reveal for their latest model, the Legendary Mouse.<\/p>\n

The reason for the backlash is their promise that the mouse won’t be commercially available, which turned out not to be true.<\/p>\n

Allegedly, the company said that this mouse will only be available for the best players of their FPS arena game called Aim Gods, which was released in December of last year.<\/p>\n

They’ve envisioned their game as the next big thing in the world of competitive gaming and the idea was that the very best players would be rewarded with their products, starting with the Legendary Mouse in Season 1.<\/p>\n

“Here’s the little secret. Every drop this year is free. You won’t have to pay for the mouse, for the shoe,” reads in a now-deleted Tweet. “It’s all about what rating you have. You guys have no idea how much we changed the game. Your rating is your currency.”<\/p>\n

Following the release of Aim Gods, Finalmouse even held a $250,000 invitational tournament<\/a> in order to promote their game on Twitch.<\/p>\n

The tournament saw some of the biggest names from the world of streaming competing, including Tfue, summit1g, bugha, Zayt, and others.<\/p>\n

Aim Gods, where Roman soldiers are fighting with modern-day weapons like assault rifles, turned out to be a huge critical and commercial failure.<\/p>\n

It was released in a buggy state and it is poorly designed in general, with awful visuals and basic shooting mechanics.<\/p>\n

The game looks more like an asset flip shovelware title than a proper game, it quickly became a subject of mockery and if you watch the video below, you can see why.<\/p>\n
