You Deserved Better... RIP

[Dedrabbits]

I knew and was in direct contact (via email) with the CEO of Motiga (the original development company), back when I was going to school for game design. And although it eventually came to an end for some of the same bugs we're experiencing now, his obvious love and passion for the game was far beyond the current development team. Let alone, this was one of the least toxic communities I've ever been a part of within the MOBA genre.

I'm sorely disappointed, and frankly, embarrassed at the level of hype that I expressed to many friends, family, and people in my stream community when I heard that it was coming back, only to see how poorly it would be handled. This was a clear attempt at a cash grab operation, with the least amount of respect to the game as possible.

I know that this act of greed is done by a lot of people in the gaming industry in order to make a quick buck, but I didn't expect it to be this game... Frankly, it hurts. This was such a core memory to my gaming career, one that I held so close and begged to be given another chance, and we were given the worst of the worst.

RIP Gigantic... you could have fought hard with the best of them, and instead you were given toxic parents who gave you nothing in return besides an abusive upbringing. You deserved more. You deserved better.

Yeah really is disappointing to see them pull the carpet from under everyone. I genuinely waited years for Gigantic to come back and when it did, I bought it immediately. Even though it was like $20 or so. I put a lot of hours into the game until they started to not listen to the community and honestly giving no new updates about the game left a bad taste in everybody's mouth. The fans for this game we're amazing and we wished to see this game grow with time. Unfortunately the lack of content, skins and characters made the game really boring especially since the devs had no plan to keep developing the game. They just used it for an easy cash grab. The new developers for the game felt like they didn't care about the game and had no passion for it. It also didn't help that launch day was unbearable with crashes and bugs. I'm super disappointed that they used everyone's previous excitement and nostalgia for money. This tactic was still not enough to compensate the games, game play. As a huge fan i'm super sad :(

RIP Gigantic.

Can't wait for some other company to pick it up again 11 years later and the cycle repeats itself.

Have you ever considered the game just isnt that good and mismanagement had very little to do with it failing twice?

Kind of like Paragon...the game isnt good and for some reason the 200 players who played it 10 years ago keep re-releasing it back out to the same result. The game isn't good. Paragon will never succeed because it is bad.

Gigantic isn't really that good...I am a moba/hero shooter fan so I am it's target audience and I didn't like it both times.

Good thing you're one person, with your own unique perspective. 😃 I can appreciate that not even MOBA fan is going to enjoy this, but I really did, as well as many others.
