@Airish85 Ngl mate, but theese explanations while explaining their greed are true, it’s their own doing that put them in this spot in the first place.

Theese short sighted views their execs have are just terrible for the game on the long run, we don’t need to try to defend it.
The issues that are ripping the players out of the game exist since years.
Maybe ONCE they do something for the longevity of the game

@BallisticMVP "Their execs"

Brother, its everywhere. Try to maximize profits. Rather see their product crash and burn / lose some customers than to make decent profit.

All of the big gaming companies are doing the same thing, streaming companies like Netflix, HBO, Disney also so I guess its like a trend or sign of times...

I don't think I'm being any kind of socialist when I simply make the observation that this is a sign of capitalism. Management's needs come first. Shareholders' second. Customers' a distant third. And to give the devil his due, no game stays viable for as long as this one has. It was always going to decline, in one way or another, at one time or another. It's now and it's like this. It's still far from unplayable, imo, as long as you're not addicted to worthless electronic swag, and are not trying to grind a rank.

  @reconzero Agreed except one point. Shareholders = company board are holding their money boot on the neck of the day-to-day business management who gave them budgets & profit estimates prior.
  
  These have to be met with results or super good "force majeure" excuses or its bye byes.
  
  And just to be clear I could maybe label myself as one of those corporate a-cavities but in a completely different industry XD
  So these opinions are pretty much how I would handle or see the situation if I put myself in the position of game developer side.
  Not that socialistic or capitalistic views are all that bad.
