Tutorial: How To Kill a Game

Step 1: Make stupid unneeded changes - Check

Backpack and shield stack changes, why?

Step 2: Don't communicate with playerbase - Check

We get nothing until patch notes.  Devs, etc refuse to communicate with players.

Step 3: Make negative changes to most used characters - Check

Pathfinder and wraith constantly nerfed.  Less used characters buffed or completely changed

Final step: Destroy the most popular area of a map - Double check

Skulltown AND Thunderdome are gone.  Map feels terrible now.

Result: Large decline in player base.  Large decline in paying customers.
