Firefly Online Has Been Cancelled

[bythewaybtw]

You heard it here, first, folks. Unless -- of course -- someone would like to provide irrefutable proof to the contrary that can be backed up as of 5/11/16.

RIP to hopes, dreams, and $5.

[dumb_username]

Not saying you're wrong, but can you provide proof of your claim it's been cancelled?

[Cake]

please supply a link to your findings otherwise I will still hope this game will happen

I just don't understand why they can't say that they can't say anything about whatever is going on. That, at least, would be something...and a much needed update that would show us that they are, indeed, still planning on working on this game if they are able to.

When going through a legal battle is it normal to not even be able to say, "Hey, due to legal reasons, we are not able to comment about the delays with this game until further notice." Or are they afraid that that would just open up a can of worms regarding multitudes of speculation? As if we aren't already providing and being provided all the speculation we could want.

With no official updates on keepflying.com since Dec 3, 2015 and no more "we're still flying" updates on Facebook since March 6, 2016, it's apparent that there is still browncoat-y desire for this game seeing as we, the community, are still posting about it here on Steam after being offered only silence for so long as a reward for our desire.

Since Facebook turned into a toxic and unfriendly environment for many fellow Browncoats, I wouldn't care if that source of "information updates" died. What concerns me the most is that their website hasn't had anything on it for 6 months. Their M.O. on there was to post about every other month, but with this kind of lapse in time close to the end of developement, it makes me wonder if they've been in a legal battle since Dec or Jan.

Their claim from Mech (an unofficial unpaid employee? she's just a volunteer, right?) 2 months ago was that the game was still on. BTW's claim is that it has been canceled. So unoffically, it's still on and unofficially it's cancelled. It would be more than amazing if someone offical actually did respond to this by midnight tonight.

Also, don't forget about the additional monies spent on the ship packages and any card packs that may have been purchased.

[Skippertom4]

Thank goodness, but I don't think you can let it rest in peace BTW, you can't keep quiet that long.

Well, at least Mech was in contact with the devs. BTW has just made a hobby of being a jackass on as many platforms as possible. So BTW can "unofficially" go cram it wherever his race traditionally shoves things.

What a kind dose of political-correctness. Thanks for missing the point, friend.

And touche, Skippertom4 -- those with passion should never stifle it, especially when it seeks to shift those ever-complacent tides. In other words: When people start waking the ♥♥♥♥ up and realizing that in the midst of this eternal waiting, we either need to rise up or give up, I'll RIP. Deal?

Here's another deal (Hint- it's the same one I started with, ADD babes): Provide irrefutable proof that the game is still in development as of today, 5/11/16, and I'll "'unofficially' go cram 'it' wherever [my] race traditionally shoves things." Which is usually up hotheads-who-can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees' asses, so...that should provide some pretty awesome times on my end, either way.

You actually get it. I think I love you.

[bythewaybtw]

Boom. And yet I'm the jackass. Because I give a damn. Because I know humans and thus human stupidity and ignorance and shortsightedness. Because I know complacency and the annoying buzz of little gnats who think they know better than you do, and who- when swatted - seem to just...multiply, until the underlying problem -- the whole reason they're buzzing and coming back, again and again -- is eliminated.

Let's eliminate the problem. Unless there's evidence otherwise, this ghost of a game is toast.

guys guys, it's Schroedinger's FFO!

so... anyone care to find that public data which isn't hard to find? i mean, since most of us are intelligent, capable netizens and all.

btw, if the game dies, what's OUR response as the steam users who have commented in this forum and thus proclaim a stake in things?

Yeah and you guys/girl don't have it, and don't have the intelligence or capability likewise :)
game on, go

[alveolate]

it so happens that i'm not an American, so i have no freaking clue what constitutes "public data".

[bythewaybtw]

Alveolate, you hit the nail on the head with the Schrodinger's Cat analogy. Cheers to you for catching that.

Skippertom -- what's your logic, again?

[Skippertom4]

Oh you're going there again, that didn't take long. No there is no lawsuit, no public data so why you all crying about it, then you want to turn the table's and make someone else look to be clueless! you nerds have a good scam going here, maybe someone cares. And BTW who needs logic, just need a big mouth like you to cry "where's my game" that's really helping!

[alveolate]

we just need an uber-nerd to hack into fox or qmx or whatever and release the game to us via wikileaks.
