Literally the only path forward.

Give up what little you made, or make everyone even more hesitant to buy your next game.

Without a player base, these games are literally unplayable.

Surprised they didn't try free to play instead of shitting down tho

They're only halting sales. My guess is they're going to make the switch to F2P. It'll take time to build and rework the systems for that though, so they're taking it offline while they do it. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. From the article: "at this time, we have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players." That implies it's at least not dead for good.

Still, not interested in it at any price really. It looked super generic. That market is crowded with good competitors so they need to do something new to stand out, not just copy what others have done.
