Company lies about and flops conan exiles super hard, yet here you are to buy their next scam.

Good luck with that.

There's a really depressing amount of defense towards Funcom in Dune's discussions. We're just gonna forgive and forget how they handled The Secret World, and how it's a financial flop among 2 other MMOs they have. And how they make one game, and when it doesn't become a success, push it aside, and then focus on the next trendy thing. Conan hasn't had a worth-while content expansion in like 7 years. The game essentially appeals to players who like to do the same thing over and over again for 4000 hours on the same map most players have already played to death since release. But I guess Funcom wants to only appeal to that small niche group that is ok with doing that.

Well, if people are having fun with that, I don't see the problem. I see the problem with people telling how you should have your fun, and try to force feed you with whatever they consider fun.

I see this kind of logic a lot. But this isn’t about telling people how to have fun—it’s about recognizing patterns in a company’s behavior that affect the broader player base. Funcom has a long history of half-baked launches followed by abandonment or slow development. That should absolutely be part of the conversation.

Nobody’s saying the game shouldn’t exist or that the people still playing it aren’t allowed to enjoy it. But having 15,000 players—comparable to Skyrim, a single-player game from 2011—doesn’t suddenly make Conan Exiles a thriving or evolving live service title. It just means a niche community is holding onto it with what little has been honestly worked on.

Yes, updates like sorcery or companions were solid additions, but the lack of meaningful expansions like new maps or additional worldbuilding shows that Funcom has mostly coasted rather than innovated. Not to mention Isle of Siptah has completely stagnated with pretty much no attention given to it.

Criticism like this isn’t about taking fun away—it’s about holding developers accountable so future titles don’t fall into the same trap of content droughts.

I can't argue with that, and Funcom has its issues. Nevertheless I had fun playing 2 of their games, even if they were pretty much questionable at the release, but eventually they got shaped into something that gave me a lot of fun.

Lemme check how many people having fun on conan exiles, oh look under 300 players live.
yet like 10 million people bought it. What's that tell you? I know this is all real complex thinking involved.

Blizzard Entertainment made "The Death and Return of Superman", a beat-em up side-scroller that I don't think a single person in the world still plays. They also made an MMORPG that is somewhat popular. Considering Funcom isn't a company that's only ever put out one game before, and they had smashing success with some of their prior titles including an MMO that is still being played to this day by hundreds of thousands, I don't see the relevance in this complaint.

The game came out 7 years ago. Do you really expect it to be leading the players boards in number counts? The game did fine

[crzyfsh123]

Haha, while I bad mouth, this is likely a lot of fun til the PvP crashes out.

I would have used flamed, but even this old dog can learn a new trick.

[De Vilks]

I don't have a bar set high there, most of the massive pvp games usually crash out post release.

A lot of people have played the closed beta at this point and enjoyed it enough to preorder. You however, didn't post for nearly four years in any discussion and popped up at zero hour to howl at the moon.

People like Conan Exiles. Maybe you didn't, but your opinion doesn't invalidate theirs. Certainly not when your entire argument is in the title alone. So well articulated. Such content. Such value. Much WOW. /s

Since you seem pretty single-minded this might surprise you but people totally can - *gasp!* - play multiple games and switch between games they play. Just because someone plays Dune: Awakening that doesn't mean he can't also play Conan Exiles. Or Stardew Valley. Or whatever.

I sure plan to play more of Conan Exiles.
Through i will probably will play more Dune since friends who had no interest in Conan will get Conan and so will be able to play with them for once.

I'm currently waiting for the full release of some games and playtests to start for others that I signed up for and hope to get into. And I certainly won't give up playing my other favorite games. They just might have to take a backseat for a while.

what makes conan exiles and now dune awakening a scam? because i put just under 2500 hours into conan exiles and enjoyed the majority of that time. Like i get it you played the game for a while but did you intend to play that game forever? like do you still play the first game you ever played?
