How long before servers are shut down?

[Gremlin5]

Evil Dead just got the Axe after being out for a year, officially dead. Not a single Asym game has managed to survive, let alone compete with DBD. Single franchise games are doomed to fail. We are in an era of disposable game releases.

Why are so many of you people OK with investing time and money into a game just to have it be shut down and unplayable within 18 months? Maybe if we buy the $16 skins and $7 animations, we can fund the game for a bit longer. Perhaps buy multiple copies of the game too. If you want this game to succeed then send them money. You can sell a kidney for $10K so there is no excuse.

Depends if the devs can release new content every 3-4 months

[Daasite]

[Lydwell]

From what I understand of Evil Dead the servers are still active but they're not going to update the game any more.

They said the exact same thing with F13 ("no new content, but we'll definitely keep the servers up and fix bugs and balance"), until they announced server shutdowns, P2P lobbies, and went radio dead immediately afterwards.

"But it's not the same devs!!!!" For those about to copy/paste this, do you really think their publisher had zero say in this? If so, I have some oceanfront property in the US state of Arizona that I'd like to sell you.

its gonna last a year. given how bad some of the decisions were in this game i won't be buying anything in the future from Sumo or Gun.

considering Gun is the same company that created Friday the 13th, then proceeded to ban users from co op, based on fake reports from boob streamers, forcing players to decide if they want to buy ANOTHER COPY, or abandon it forever with no refund, I'm surprised anyone bought THIS.
As tempted as I was, I probably won't buy it myself, but I know one of my weirdo friends will probably buy me a copy for Christmas or something >.<

Wouldn't buy the game, but has no issues trolling it's forums daily for opportunities to go "NEENER NEENER" like a 4 yr old. If you have no intentions of ever playing the game, why bother with it's forums? Do you not have anything better to do with your time, like troll the forums of a game you do actually play?

its been out for 5 weeks..

[clxde]

the worst part is that I think they said they wouldn't make an offline mode?

[Fear The Clown]

Not worried about it dieing, it'll be fine on console as long as they add some content and it stays on gamepass. PC is going to wilt though if crossplay doesn't come back soon.

its sad to see games go down like this, these are the ones i really like.

i mean i didnt like evil dead, but i LOVED friday the 13th and TCM is fun in the right conditions.

Why in the world do these massive games like fortnite etc keep going, i couldnt even stomach that crap for the life of me, and dead by daylight, gosh its just in that category too, not a real horror experience, just another blan generic game, but these that resemble things i remember are enjoyable to me.

Seems like steam forums of this game is dead too and only dbd fans coming here once in a week to bait some activity. It's either whining, complaining or straight up a bait for posts. Rarely it's some proper discussion tho, it still happnes but super rare.

Player numbers means nothing especially on Steam where roughtly 70% of people play CS:GO and DotA daily anyway. Also don't forget that it's not an era of disposable game releases, it's an era of monopoly in multiplayer game industry. There is always a more popular game that everyone in genre will stick too and refuse to try something new. Imagine creating a new moba game on PC while DotA and LoL exists. It's not going to change anytime soon, same with Dbd being the most popular horror asym, nothing is going to move it from that spot no matter how much funds a new game gets. Riot couldn't move CS:GO out of the way with Valorant even tho they invested huge money into it, it did got it's playerbase but it nowhere near killed CS:GO. But people for some reason expected TCSM to kill Dbd lmao.

Servers shutting down will probably take awhile, but I'll consider it "dead" in around a year.

The removal of crossplay was such a terrible decision, I hope the alienation of their PC user base was worth it for all those gamepass users that will forget about the game in a month and move on to whatever is popular next.

Because I paid 50 AUD for a game I've had over 40 hours with already.

If it shuts down, it shuts down. I've gotten more play time out of it than I do most games.

Could you imagine if everyone had that sentiment? Smh...

I paid $15 for DBD and got nearly 5K hours out of it, but I still wouldn't want to see it shut down just because I feel like I got my money's worth. You are the textbook definition of everything that is wrong with modern video game consumers. Stop ruining our hobby, some of us are passionate about gaming.

Oof, wise words have been said, that's why this gaming era is so trash, people just accept to be fed game after game

They never said they wanted to see the game shut down, just that if it did they couldn't really complain since they got their money's worth. You are the textbook definition of "I read what I want to instead of what is actually written".

If DbD shut down tomorrow, after 5k hours played, you seem the type that would still bit©h how it "wasn't fair", hasn't "gotten their money's worth", and/or "gImMe ReFuNd NoWz!1!!one!!eleven!!!"

Even if you played TCM for 100 hrs at this point, you've gotten your money's worth in playtime, and would still be a better time vs. cost value when compared to other games. Ex: FFXVI - $70 for less than 50 hrs worth of content.
