I’ll give you that.
8th line down.
And here:
Now all that shown, dragons I’m not worried about. And short of PVP shown here, we can argue another time (again) about all the things said on Kickstarter and talked about during last year’s dry spell. My point is that (to me and I’m sure others), we were told of this grand game that’s been working on for 5 years now, and is basically reverting to less than it was advetised as. I’ll digress from that, as I’ve already tried to open that arguement and it never goes anywhere.
And I totally agree. At the same time, an open vague statement of “We’ve reached the end of our contract and thus have to wrap things up” would mean more than us wondering why the direction is taking a nose dive.
And I will agree with this. At the same time, I feel that Stonehearth has “ran it’s course” with RIOT and they’re telling Radiant to wrap it up. Again, just my opinion. Where I’m greatful they helped extend the life of this game beyond what it would have been, I’m also irritated that it could have been so much more with the resources they’ve boasted having access to. Without writing a book about every part, that’s the best way top short hand how I feel.
Aside from scrapping a chunk of the Kickstarter list, I’m not DIRECTLY seeing any “screw the fans” updates. At the same time, I’m not seeing any “let’s support the fans” either more than “if you want it, mod it in”.
Several updates ago, when we had likes and dislikes and moods added to the Hearthlings, it was to make them feel more personal and for us to connect better with them. Yet now, we get a feature that does the exact opposite of that?
No different than the town progression quest we’ve had for how long now? And how it makes you think there’s a new notification.
So you’re ok with the developers pushing the game onto the modders to finish? I don’t mean this an any offense, but when this happens with a game, it turns into making the player choose what they do and don’t want in the game, as the mods aren’t compatible with each other. Then in the end, a large portion of the players are unhappy with the game as they want this but can’t have it because they HAVE to have something they don’t want or care about from another mod that added the first item.
IMO, this kills a game faster than the devs supporting it longer. My experience with this, is from years of Freelancer and the early days of Minecraft.
