but he isn't wrong about the part being consumers choice. Are the publishers at fault for reselling a engine upgrade? yes! especially since it also gave them the excuse to postpone ARK 2 indefinitely with no news just to "safely" sell the same game with the same problems.

But as mr whiteknight said, its the consumers fault for buying into it giving them the idea that its alright.

Ah, so instead of holding the company responsible for being shady, get mad at the CUSTOMERS for wanting an upgraded product? And then when said customers show their displeasure, call them the idiots and fools for TRUSTING the same company.

Seems a bit skewed there, Next time I see a person with a broken appendage, im going to call them stupid for being injured.

Ah, so you don't want to take accountability for blindly blowing your money? Once they have your money, and you played or owned passed the return qualifier, they don't owe you anything. You want to support them? that's fine, but that also takes time. And you aren't a sponsor or shareholder that has their hand in the cookie jar that actually controls what happens. You are nothing but a gullible consumer with the illusion of being heard. And since you payed for the game as a consumer, you gave away any control you had. They have your money, they owe you nothing. Good job. Now go deflect and ignore your issues somewhere else

Oof...there went your point as soon as you said "so you want to support them?".

Now, how exciting it must be for you to just go around and blindly throw your money away it seems? After all, whoever gets YOUR money certainly seems to have no reason or standard for you to look for...obviously....boot licker.

Did you mother get a warranty with your moped? Or did she just buy it and take it like the company told her to?

Actually, my mom got it donated from your mom who said you outgrown yours. Saved her some money.

with your playground insults aside. Kinda ironic with how the end of your childish insult literally promotes my point entirely xD nice going.

Oooooo lookie a whiteknight for WC! I like your horse its very pretty.

But he is literally right though- 💀
The games NOR the Developers forced anyone to buy it. the Customer bought it on their own accords, so claiming ''We all were forced to buy'' is a completely wrong statement as jake nor anyone else here were held at gunpoint by WC to buy their game, it was all our own choice, so him crying over a mistake HE did is just childish, sure the game is kind of bad but claiming false statements like ''we were forced to'' is just childish, so Featherybacon telling him that he bought it on his own accord isn't whiteknighting at all, Featherybacon is simply stating a fact and telling him what ACTUALLY happened than the lie that Jake claimed- 💀

No one is ever forced to buy a game or anything related to a game and anyone who doesn't like having a game that is incomplete should not be buying anything that's in Early Access - these are both objective statements.

You can hate a company while still taking responsibility for your own actions and decisions, you can't just blame your own bad judgement and poor decision making on a company no matter how many stupid things they do. But sure, call anyone who doesn't share your victim complex a white knight, shill or whatever the ♥♥♥♥ else you people come up with if that's how you want to spend your time.

Saying this each time i see a new ARK News. LET ME CHOOSE WHICH MAPS TO INSTALL.
Game size exceeds my storage's limit. Meaning, i can't return, even if i wanted to.

If you give them money for mods or creatures you are the problem. Don't give in to their money schemes. Support actual modders, gaming is for the people not for private interests and they act like they are broke but they are a multi-million dollar company, do the math yourself and you will notice the predatory habits of SNAIL Games

Snail-Wildcard give only 50% of premium mods revenue to the mod makers with the other 50% split between WC and Curseforge. That revenue split is pretty much what has been keeping them afloat. The quarterly financial earnings with ASA overall have been pretty bad (you can go to the Snail Games corporate website to the investor section and due to SEC requirements, as their Quarterlies are posted there for all to see).

So they're not acting like they're broke... they are actually suffering fiscal accountability issues that have lead to their aggressive revenue schemes with ASA.

They also had a small studio layoff last May, shut down all official servers for Atlas(as grapeshot games is virtually the same studio as they have the same Florida address in Gainesville) and devs from it returned to work on Ascended(if they werent part of the layoff last May).

And part of the reason for the longer kiting of the road map releases also is compellingly because the studios they used to do out sourced work on ASA(and had done so with ASE too) arent doing the same volume of work(or at all anymore) for them either. So they're relying more on in house folks doing the work and keep in mind that that is post their having had a layoff (and position reshuffling too mind you).

2025 is going to be a tough year for Snail-Wildcard so I'd not put much expectations into even the current road map as I expect it to be tossed around and delayed even more over the next 6 months.

I could see this leading to the companies downfall. More and more delays, paid to win dinos, and bugs that never get fixed accompanying all of that? They need to sell off their game to someone else to take over.

hahahah i bet half of the content is gonna be buggy broken or that you have to pay extra for

The Ark IP accounts for close to 90% of Snail Games revenue source. Selling the game/IP would entail essentially a situation where they were either going under or already having gone under.

So it'd be unlikely to happen or pretty much if it did it'd end up having the situation worsen. After all, years and years of similar firesales on IP's tend to result in the games going in maintenance mode and eventually dwindling/being shut down.

We're never getting Ark 2...

thank you wildcard, please stay strong in the face of overwhelming hate, while there's a lot to critique, you all receive waay too much flak and hate than needed. Keep up the good work <3

WHERE IS RTX FG OPTION???????????????????????????????????????
