@Cherry_kool-8 Thanks for being reasonable. Also you're dead-on about the big plan they have for the franchise. They want to have their cake and eat it too. It's sad after 18 years to see something die, but I also went through the Star Wars Galaxies exodus after SOE pulled something similar...even made CNN news because the entire playerbase quit when they changed the game so fundamentally.
Steam's active players list as of right now show's 2042 50% down from launch day when it peaked at 100,590 players. Right now it's 49,034. There's more people playing Wallpaper Engine atm. I'm not saying it's going to be the same fate as SWG or even Hyperscape but the damage has been done during the 10-hour trial access, and accrues every day they don't take control of the situation. They know this. I'm just confused why certain mainstays of any standard multiplayer shooter are being seen as "legacy features".
