Mio is gone

OH IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER FOR STARBREEZE AND THIS DEAD GAME

[Lavaissoup7]

Honestly the fact that Mio was given two weeks to make the skill system, it came out better than I would've expected it to. It's still a bad system but Mio wasn't given the time to actually make it and he wasn't happy with it.

Does it matter. He was already in the process of moving on from the game.

At the time of writing this reply:

PD2 current players - 22,121

PD3 current players - 429

I mean. This game needs to be shut down, and IP sold. This way it gives a last ditch effort for SBZ board to save themselves before their new game about D&D flops just as hard. Might as well go out with some money than absolutely none, right?

He stepped down to become a developer instead, now he's fully leaving the company. He made a response post on BSky.

Well, he wont be missed and nether will PD3 when its full abandoned by SBZ. Which with the player count as it currently stands. Will most likely be at the end of this year.

PD3 just had a 60% off sale that ended a couple of weeks ago. Didnt even add to the player count. It actually went down a lot during this time. That really shows that no one cares about this game anymore.

Considering he was responsible or had a part in many of the things the community loved, then safe to say he will be even if the community doesn't want to because they still wanna use him as a scapegoat

[animal_PLANET]

Lol, what community? No one is playing this abomination.

Current players:

PD2 - 24,402

PD3 - 451

That's still a community. It's a small one, but still a community.

Not for long. Especially a live service MP game. Wont last much longer with that average of low of players. With no one buying the game even on sale at a low price of $11.99.

Again, the board needs to sell the PD IP to help sustain them even longer for when D&D flops. As no one is asking for that game, and they already have consecutive flops. Its not going to sell.

Especially after the way their last couple of games released in such poor shape. Everyone is going to see D&D with SBZ name on it, and just move along.

That's more of an issue with how online only games work yes, but whether there will be a community later or not has nothing to do with what's being said right now. You brought up the player counts to argue that "PD3 has no community" because I mentioned the PD3 community when 400 players can still have a community. You can criticize Starbreeze's fumbles but moving the goalpost because you have nothing to say is funny.

[animal_PLANET]

Nothing to say? Moving goal post? Its been the same line this whole time and I havent said anything different.

Or you just trying to cope real hard saying that an average of that small amount of players actually means something for a live service MP game. So many SP games that released well before PD3 have better numbers.

When a game releases and a month later it barely averages 2K players. That says a lot. Especially coming off an IP which sold over 40 million units. Hellooo. Thats incredibly terrible. Its not a community when players are so low, Steam hub doesnt even show the numbers, and you need a 3rd party site to tell you. Lmfao

I will also add that the new D&D game is supposed to release next year. We already 4 months into 2025. With no gameplay or even any SS of this new game. They dont even have a title for the game and its still called Project Baxter. Just shows how bad the development is.

They did same thing with PD3 because they knew it was going to be bad. Not showing any press release footage until so close to the games release. How history repeats itself.

I was saying that Mio was responsible for alot of things the community liked, that's about it. It ain't that deep.

[animal_PLANET]

Im saying he wont be missed. Than you got triggered.

You are 100% right. It aint that deep at all.

Does it matter. The game is no longer being actively developed anyway and SBZ already said the majority of team has already moved to Project Baxter.

They dont care about PD3, and never did. Just looking for a cash grab and thought the players wouldnt know any better. Well, they sure were wrong.
