crickets

[saurce]

They're too busy trying to figure out what to do about getting hacked. Must suck. I didnt expect anything anyways lol.

[Archie]

?? crickets ?? do you have some in your pants??

[SyxtySyx]

Something you can use to tame/breed Necks.

Not really. It blew everyone away and still had a better launch than newer survival games.

It's funny how many people slam the game and its dev team, yet linger in these threads.
They secretly love the game, but want to come across as haters just to appear
obstinate.

this company killed their game by this slow ass development , it so slow that it made many people lose interest in it , it has been two years now , at least all biomes needed to be done with an additional content to fill up the game and that huge map , it's only content what keep people interested look at palworld it just came up and u can't compare it's content with a 3 years old game it's insane, just hire more devs to finish yours u got so much money to do it , it seems u need another year to complete the rest of the biomes only or maybe more , it feels that u got money and now no one cares

It's also funny how many schizofrenic persons are playing this game; considering we got lots of posters claiming "many people lost interest in it", when they actually mean "I lost interest in it because devellopment is so slow according to my standards."

Makes me wonder if we should split the amount of copies solved and thus the income Iron Gates had from this game in half too......... :thinking:

the discord hack basically made it so they wont be able to post anything for the date. but its not like there is any big news anytime soon.

we can only hope the hack doesnt affect ashlands development time.

some really really strong game competion arrived these days and more is on thier way. the update is badly needed in the first half of this year.

i assume public testing might come around april. and then 1 month later live release. as on may 6 mistlands been out for 18 months and new content is overdue. hildir update was a joke content wise and pretty much irrelevant to gameplay progression systems.

[GunsForBucks]

Speaking of strong competition... I wonder if this hack is from them

[stvlepore]

Entitlement much? Its your anniversary! Give me something!

Two years is hardly slow. If it took them 10 years, then that would be slow. I'd say, Early Access for 5 years is decent.

Since I play sets of games in cycles, I only lost interest in Valheim, because I did what I could with what it has. When it has more, I might go back to play it again. Unlike you, with unrealistic ideas, I don't need to be playing one game 24/7 forever to like it. If I didn't refund it, I like it.

Most of those games didn't have development while they were out though, so they aren't really comparable. Development pre release is completely different from a player perspective.

That said, I don't really care. If you don't like it, pretend the game isn't out yet and come back in a few years. There are other games to waste time on until then.

What is this list supposed to prove exactly? Most of these games didn't abuse the EA program to get money and then stop development.

If you're showing anything it's that the EA model is broken.

Valheim didn't stop development.
