It feels similar to all the second wave of MMOs and MOBAs that came and died.

It’s confusing, but the one you call Gate Crash is actually called Door Dash. Gate Crash is the one where the walls move up and down and there’s slime at the end. It seems wrong because Door Dash actually involves crashing into things, but that’s how they’re titled.
