Game is officially abandoned

https://turtlerockstudios.com/news/b4b-2223

So much for continued content and keeping the game alive, after all this time its still a bad game. I spent $5 on it and can't imagine the feeling of paying full price. They scammed and ripped everyone off again, and abandoned it to work on a "new game" just play L4D2, theres nothing left here anymore. When do you guys think they will kill the servers?

I have spent 100,- on it and am currently nearing 1500 hours.

And ♥♥♥♥ Left 4 Dead 2, I prefer Back 4 Blood so I don't see why I should go back to an ancient game with boring gunplay and no interesting movement. I did enjoy it though, back in the day and in the years leading up to B4B's release. And don't get me wrong, both L4D and L4D2 are amazing classics but I personally moved on when B4B released.

Maybe a good thing will come out of all this: That all the L4D fanboys will finally ♥♥♥♥ off and shut up about the endless "Uhhghghhhwdhwded L4D is BetTerRrrr" bs.

If you enjoy Left 4 Dead, go play Left 4 Dead, and don't let the door hit you on the way out (not that it matters either way, this discussion board is like an empty wasteland nowadays it seems lol).

Better stay with a solid product as to destroy it with low quality updates.
Sure it's just good and nothing compared to l4d2 but everyone who thought it could be was delusional. The missing mod/map support alone put these games on VERY different importance and replayabilty.
I bought it for 30 last sale and it is fully worth.

Not every game can be a milestone in video game history.
Sometimes "good" need to be good enough.

So the mediocre dlc, garbage pvp, horrible bots, and bugs didnt bother you? Wonder how you'll feel when they axe the servers. Hate to break it to you but it was a cash grab. Theie trello board of unfulfilled promises will soon be taken down.

Nope, they didn't. I'm the kind of person who enjoys the team dynamic of games like these so bad AI has never really bothered me since I don't like playing with bots anyway.

Also, I play this game for the PvE, I do think the DLC wasn't good and also quite lackluster in the beginning but they really turned that around with Act 5 and especially Act 6.

And I personally don't expect them to axe the servers any time soon, maybe a couple of years after B4B2's release (but we'll see, maybe you're right, maybe I'm right). It's also the reason why I hope they will follow Left 4 Dead's template with a sequel: Just include the entire campaign, characters and weapons from part 1.

I don't think you understand what a cash grab is. If you're going to fall back to L4D where the kick system there will hardly let you play PvP, the bots are also bad, and has its own fair share of bugs, you can at least be fair when throwing shade.
