confirmation?

[kage1822]

has anyone heard any confirmation that DL will be shutting down next year? I saw mention of this in a thread which doesn't make sense to me, as most games when the devs are going to shut down their game won't release new content or updates

Yes Konami officially stated that duel links will be shut down next year so we dont need to bother with the cancerous XYZ spam.

since i only started playing 2 weeks ago, is it even worth me grinding away to try and get cards for a deck being a F2P?

[kage1822]

think Konami will make a DL 2? I personally think that DL was the best Yugioh video game made

first Astolfo is trolling no announcement for a shutdown has been made as of now DL is still going strong for Konami in terms of revenue but if the game gets shut down i'm pretty sure they'll release a follow-up.

there was another thread here on steam where people were talking about a shutdown next year

it's under the discussion 'AG support'

it's a assumption based on player decline, content drop increase, burnout and konamis track record

Konami kills their games approx 2-3 years after release. Look it up ^.^. It doesn't matter how much they sell in the game, if there's a way for them to make more money by idk.....making everyone buy everything again... they will

But that would be evil and Konami has proven over the years that they deeply care about their player base

I thought it was obvious this game wouldn't last long as soon as I started looking at the rate they were releasing cards.

I'm mean, seriously, look at the rate they're releasing, 1 box and 1 minibox per month.

I'm not into the RL card game, but my estimates are certainly that they won't be able to continue to "power creep" and release newer cards before catching up with the real-world cards. And although I don't want to compliment the current card-set too much, it certainly seems way better than what the Duel Links developers could keep up with if they had to make completely original cards for every new box/mini-box twice a month.

So, although I don't know anything about the news, I think it's a safe bet that within 2 years (maybe one) they'll dump this and push a newer version of Yugioh instead.

Keep in mind that the entire Yugioh cardset is a very valuable commodity that took many many years to develope, and Duel Links is reportedly only taking in about $5-million per month.

Moreso, BECAUSE they're releasing the cards so quickly, it really SEEMS LIKE they're rushing to get to the end of the developement cycle and start over rather than trying to keep the game around.

But if anyone has more specific information to substantiate a one-year time-table, please post or link it here.

Thanks.
