Glad to hear that Wayfinder stopped with the aggressive monetizations! Hopefully the studio can improve going forward and other studios take note since it's definitely a step in the right direction

If you’re a viewer reading the comments and you haven’t already, look up Ross Accursed Farms and his crusade against the death of games.

I do often wonder why nobody designs LSGs with an end-of-support plan. You would think a game that could be sold as standalone even if the live support becomes unprofitable would be a no-brainer, it's just free money at that point. Part of me wonders if there's sour grapes at play "if we can't have all the money, we'd rather have none of the money than only some of the money". But in truth, it's probably just lack of giving a damn. They want to imagine the game will become the Next Big Thing and make them money forever, and if it doesn't then you just scrap it and try again. The tech mindset in a nutshell.

I love you.

It is simple for me now. If it is live service i don't bother even trying. If the game cannot be played offline, lan or private custom servers then it is doomed to die one day with the servers. I refuse to put time and money in live services.

👍

Only question is whether or not the developers behind Wayfinder have learned their lesson, or if they'll make the same mistake with their next game.

As a very cynical person, I think the safer bet is that they'll make the same "mistakes" again. So they can soak in the praise when they "fix" them.

Airship Syndicate is made of some pretty level-headed and good-hearted people, from what I've seen

@@AddyLovestar I hope that's the case, but, Blizzard (Pre-Activision) seemed cool at first until we learned about the "Cosby Room" stuff (if you really want to get angry, look that up on your own. TW: SA).
