LEGO world 2 years of lying

LEGO Survivor will never exist

[bobman39]

I agree with you to an extent there. It's a shame this game has gone under and that the early access was ultimately a waste of time as they scrapped most of what was achieved in that when it was fully released. They have said for a while though that there was a 3 game plan in order to see what they could do with Lego games in the future so as annoying as it is, this seems like just a test and hopefully they come up with a much better game with everything they've gained from the 3 games they used. (I think they were LEGO Dimensions, LEGO Fusion and LEGO Worlds... all of which appear to have done a lot worse than they were expecting which could be another reason for this game being abandoned). Fingers are still crossed that they come back to this game though soon top add the survivor section as that was promised.

I've learned a long time ago never to trust Lego with "unfinished games'" or games that will continue to have updates. Lego Minifigures Online, Lego The Hobbit, Lego Worlds, Lego Dimensions.

They probably don't want to add Survivors because they will probably lose money from taking the time to add something like that. What they fail to realize is they will lose even more money by not keeping their word. I'm not going to buy an other lego game unless it is complete finished, nothing else going to be added.

LEGO Minifigures Online, just like any MMO, has to end eventually. That's just the nature of that kind of game. And from what I understand, LEGO Dimensions is the same way. They can't just keep adding content eternally... was there something else wrong with that game that I'm not aware of?

Never heard of LEGO The Hobbit, so I'm curious to hear that story.

LMO started out free with paid content, then switched to paid game but all content free. I never bought the game when it switched, but from what I heard, it didn't last long after that. It was a while ago, so I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they had almost guaranteed pvp in the game, but it never happened.

Lego Dimensions was going to have a 3 wave of characters and worlds to buy. Then the Nintendo Switch came out; they didn't feel like creating a version for that so they just quietly cancelled the 3rd wave.

Lego The Hobbit was created before the 3rd movie (Battle of the Five Armies) was released, so it originally only went up to the right before Smaug attacks Lake Town. They had said they were going to add the final part after the movie was released; there's even a steam achievement called "The End (or it is?)". But it never happened.

What really ticks me off is the quiet way they cancel these ideas. They don't come out and say "Hey, sorry everyone. The game isn't making as much money as we were expecting(or whatever the reason) so we can't add what we planned". No, they just decide to cancel and tell no-one about it so everyone's still expecting it and it never comes out. That is bad business management right there.

I actually sell legos on bricklink. If someone orders a piece and we're missing it, we don't send the rest of the order and hope the customer won't catch it, or if he does, he won't care too much. No! We message the customer, apologize, and try to work something out to make everyone happy. That's what the Lego video game devs need to do. Be communicative with the community and explain when something isn't going as planned.

Ah, I see what you're saying... There does seem do be a pattern.
I have a Discord server with a small-ish community of LEGO Worlds players, and every time someone new comes in and asks if there will be updates, it is frustrating to have to tell them "probably" not. I have reached out to all of their social media accounts and even emailed TT Games just asking them to come out and say it, give an official answer, but they don't respond at all.

Probably they are trying to avoid bad press... Right now no one with any kind of audience is paying any attention to LEGO Worlds whatsoever. If they announce that it's cancelled, the press will jump on that like a troublemaker on the annoying train.

LMO is kind of a different case because they said that they thought about adding pvp, but then they were argumenting, that pvp wouldn´t be suited for their target group and their concept of the game.

And this was partialy depended on funcom, which closed LMO because they were in financial troubles back then. That´s why they change it from f2play to pay once and for all. However, with that decision they made even less money.

[RedstoneParadox]

I don't think the devs lied; the more likely scenario is that the higher ups at TTGames (or maybe even LEGO) decided that this wasn't worth the continued investment for some reason or another at some point after that announcement.

Bonus plot twist: due to licensing shenanigans Lego The Hobbit and Lego LoTR are no longer purchaseable.

I have them both and I really don't miss them :P

It's weird to think that money is the issue when lego sets are so expensive in the first place.

The game was created by the people who made the largest server, plus it has way more features than Minecraft, and the graphics are better too, unless the game they provide us is way worse.
(sorry for 1 month bump)

Sure, but how quickly will this gain popularity? To me it seems Minecraft will always be better.

what's not to understand? it's business and marketing.. if they tell people flat out "it's over", a lot of people will be scared away from buying it. they're hoping to trap the last few stragglers. this game had a lot of promise, too, even without the survivor update. honestly, if i could just cloud save my adventure progress and they added so brick builds with maybe new props every once in a while, i would play it forever. that's one of the reasons mincecraft is as popular as it is, it never stopped working at itself. the resurge in popularity shows that, as soon as they finally started adding some hunky updates, people popped back on to see what was new.

same thing as fortnite. it makes the game feel more alive, gives them something to play with and new toys so they don't get bored. funny how some companies don't see that.. or they see it and they implement it terribly
