Bossa studios, eh?

Remember Worlds Adrift? I do. Sorry, this studio will never see another dime of my money.

Alrighty then, nice seeing you. Merci pis salut la visit.

Yes, I remember it well. I remember it relying on a third party server architecture that went belly up, totally beyond the control of the developers of the game.
Now we have Lost Skies, because it was too good of an idea to give up on.
It explicitly doesn't rely on a third party server architecture, so it's not going to be lost the way World's Adrift was.

Yep the hundred+ hours of enjoyment I got playing WA was well worth the £20 it cost me or the price of a McDonald's meal.

Lost Skies with the WA discount and launch discount making the game £15 was a no brainer I've spent 25 hours in the game so far so got my moneys worth already.

K bye.

[ShadowRaze]

Its worse than you think, they only got 148 hours for that $20!

If world's adrift was a subscription based mmo, or a free to play mmo with microtranscations I might have been mad, but it wasn't it was a one timed purchase with a price below a aaa for a game that had demanding server infrastructure. It was doomed from the beginning and I don't blame Bossa for killing.

Others may be mad that they never allowed private servers, but I also think that decision is understandable considering Lost Skies has been in development and it would be dumb to give themselves more competition for one of their upcoming games.

Ultimately though I loved world's adrift (though I could hardly run it at the time with my pc so I never played too much) I'm not mad at Bossa. They are a company and cannot exist without making money, there is no use in being mad.

Yep, people need a fair warning about bad business practices.

Nobody here cares about what you say go somewhere where someone does.

Not all heroes wear capes or, something? Enjoy your brooding. I'm gonna go hunt a sky whale because I don't hold biases based on half-baked ideas.

And if you try to warn people look at the whole story why Worlds Adrift *failed*, what the dev's have already done to prevent a second disaster like that, and the fact that this time around the dev's are working with a publisher so they will at least need to deliver a finished project at the end of early access.
That being said, i truly hope the dev's take their time, for this game is so unique in its play style that it could be a long lasting entertaining game,
