evil dead the game

[extreme]

are the devs done with the game i see no content coming whats happening with it

Allegedly it's hard to get all the various IP holders to agree on adding anything new, and they already made most of their money by taking the Epic exclusive deal. Probably nothing new coming unless there are a lot more sales which the steam release 1 year later shows there won't be. TCM test build was way more fun than any experience I've had in ED:TG for months so it's definitely killed it for me.

Radio silence.

You have no confirmation of this so that's just pure speculation.

Why they could not think about solving all legal issues BEFORE making the game?
It reminds me of situation with Friday, when people made the game only to realize they are not allowed to update it.

ALL new content needs to be pre-approved beforehand by all respective parties before going live. It's not a carte blanche kind of deal. Right down to outfits, even.

Seems like right holders are stupid, then. As far as i understand every sale gives them percentage, and it's in their interests that as much as possible content would be made by developers.

I wonder why people even go trough so much trouble to buy the rights, instead of just creating their own universe and characters.

Well, create hype. An unknown universe is less appealing.

Say it to dbd...
Who also don't seem to have any problems with so many right holders once they started adding licenced content.

Well technically just Stranger Things, because as far as I know the requested fee for renewing the license was astronomical.

It's simple, they are granted to get way more attention, but if they come up with something new that no one ever heard of, the chances are 50/50

I wish the license holders would be more willing to throw more content into the game. It can only grow from here, and we're seeing a uptick trend in these survivor horror + asyms with DbD not going anywhere, Texas Chainsaw Massacre coming out soon.. It's kinda the perfect time to stir up new ways to get new and keep old players.
Because Evil Dead has some die-hard fans. You give them more, they're gonna keep coming back.

There can be easy solution in case if right holders are slow to respond: send them entire roadmap, with new maps, and 20+ skins to approve at once. Thus, you will not have to wait each time and do it only once.

The real problem is not have someone keep coming back, but have a stable and enuf large player base to kick in the MMR again.

This can be obtained with in game quests (daily, weekly) that returns more exp. They should then take in account some issues never solved in over one year.

Of course the ideal way is a general more optimal overhaul of the game mechanic per class, starting from the skill tree and adding some side items and so on, but I doubt seriously they got the means and experience to face such challenge, otherwise they would already included this obvious stuffs in the first release.

They can take example from PvE like Vermintide 2 and learn how to not do it from Darktide. Again, the problem is the overall impression is they are just keeping the game running with the minimum effort and main core is working to something else.

Not a dead game. But in life support.
