It's really bizarre. They have less than 100 people still playing. Even if everyone still playing buys a $20 skin, that's $2,000. The average monthly wage in China is $1,300/month. Unless they are literally planning on pumping out a $20 skin that gets bought by every player every single month, they won't make enough off the skin to cover the cost of a single employee.
They could be trying to lure players back by fixing long-standing balance issues, or to provide a way for people to observe and vote-kick cheaters out of a match, or any number of other things to get people to come back. Instead they are still pumping out cash-shop skins, too slowly to actually make a profit off of.

Does this company have any sucesful games? A common practise in bulshit companies is to take revenue from Game A to invest it on game B to cover the losses

>>2780081
I didn't even notice that the game was free to play for a week, and that apparently tripled the playerbase for a while

Daily and weekly leaderboards tend to show off more numbers what steam really shows since people play at all weird times... Seems like 300+ might be the perfect number with people hopping on and off daily. Hell could be more but I did like 2 matches and fucked off I could do a really low score and see how many people had logged in but too once day ends.

Valve gets a cut of that b/c it's handled through the wallet, btw. That's also before the chink gov's cut. They aren't making shit, but that was obvious over a year ago w/ the layoffs and sudden monthly skin push.
W/e company(apparently Kingsoft) sits on top of CCS is probably keeping them around to cook the books. Idk how the, like 2, remaining shills muster the will to defend this shit.
It really is a shame. Playtest WA and this current abortion are like night and day. Different devs, different visions, diferent games. The fluffy women deserved better. Fuck the delusional faggot that was in charge of this mess.

Someone made a dofus guild on 3.0 release when it was at it's most popular ever and it died in 2 months

is it safe to assume a new player was convinced by a frenchy to play

>>2775752
Yes

its because they never programmed race checks into skills which is why elves and giants could use dk final hit etc when you were able to get them unlocked with pake

I noticed that when I tried getting hs friends to play tf2. I wasnt good at the game but there was some unexplainable pull that kept me in death after death, but when I tried csgo I didnt care for it at all. I guess some games have that effect on certain people, and everyone has "that" game that does it for them. I feel like once again quick and sugary mass convenience/appeal marketing has hampered this aspect of the gamer environment. oldgens have "that" game for them, and only a few are willing to drop it, newgens are too used to quick and easy dopamine hits, and are more sensitive to negative situations (at least from what little Ive heard) and thus cant tank the respawn timer or go "yah I died but the stuff i was doing before that was fun".
however in that vien I dont understand how battle royale or extraction shooters happen to stick around for so long. For me I cannot stand the single life return to lobby system. Its an fps, you can die fast, plus you make a game where tedium/risk is the main emotional focus (looting gear), with the fun pvp bit being just one spot at the end (well, the end for the loser of the encounter). Yet zoomers seem to be ok with grinding those games out, enough so that its become the new industry standard (or was)

When it comes to BR, I think it comes down to a few things. Fortnite and PUBG was Genz's major game. They grew up as children playing games like that. Fortnite and Minecraft seemed to dominate a majority of GenZ's gaming childhood. So any games that are similar to those games that they played (or even the popular MC custom game modes), GenZ will end up being more preconditioned to like it. For example, RTS games and MMORPGs. Both of those game genres skew heavily towards the older generations. And along those same lines, many people who are in their 30s and 40s who are playing these games a lot...well many of them had childhoods that were dominated by these genres.

Alongside this, streaming culture and that whole digital celebrity idolization really took off alongside BRs and Extraction shooters. Just like what they were playing, these kids also watched a ton of digital content from creators. Especially since BRs and extraction shooters are very good at creating an environment that is entertaining to watch. That high risk environment. The huge reactions when you lose all that work. When you finally win in the BR. Its very...clip-able in terms of that sphere is concerned. Like I remember sitting there and it seemed like CS/Minecraft/Fortnite dominated the streamer space when GenZ were kids.

Finally like you were saying. They're quick. You hop in, play for an hour or two. And because they're designed as high risk/high reward condense in a single "game"; players can get those dopamine hits in greater concentration, without a huge timesink.

In short, they're quick. They're large dopamine hits. And for GenZ, major childhood and pop culture tie ins.

you can fill a server so im not really sure why steamchart shitposts matter to you. just play the game if its fun man, who fucking cares what other people are doing.

I wish there was more lore stuff

>>2780690
they have a wiki if you look up strangely interactive
lots of lore from the other iterations of this from when it was other things, like a homeworld mod

Haven't properly paid attention to whatever the devs are actually doing but i'm still just hoping they add some sort of ending so i can finally put ts to rest

Not hard to headcanon one at least. The original story was almost done before they hard-pivoted to mission slop retelling everything but worse.

>become guardians of Cradle
>some knights move on; (You) stay; Hahn fucks off

Honestly I'm just surprised this game is still going. Never could play it well because of ping related issues but I stuck it out. Once I hit the pay wall for gear upgrades at the time I dropped it though. Was my first MMO.

It'd be kinda stupid on the really low tier cruisers and nobody really plays anything below T6 these days anyways

I'm kinda split about the new support CV tools, I think the firefighting one is kinda neat if a bit obnoxious for ships that rely on firestarting (you bait out his DCP, get a juicy triple fire, and then the CV cucks you by dropping water on him) but I'm not really sure how I feel about the CV being able to drop a free heal on someone you're fighting
We'll see how they balance them but the article says "they may rarely be shot down" but I think they should give the planes an absurdly low HP of like 200 and if you try to support a teammate who is brawling within AA range of an enemy ship your heal/damagecon just gets instantly shot down to preserve some tiny amount of fairness
I also kinda hope the firefighting one has to be called in like a dutch airstrike so it has a long lag time and doesn't negate all of your fire damage, just enough to be useful and maybe save the guy from burning down so he can cycle his heal

Very fun with friends but it's too early. Updates change so much you might want to wait a while.

The world needs more space games like this

it was in /coopg/ when it first came out, but nobody played.

It's much better for solo now that you can shove extra items into bags, but there's very little to the game itself. You're really going to the same 6 places and hunting for gear.

Like I still play it most days and it's gotten way better, but the gameplay loop is stale

>>2693855
Have they made standard controls for piloting the ship yet?
>I refunded this game two times in the past because I hate the pilot controls
Is there still an imaginary box in the center of the screen your mouse is locked to for aiming and then outside of the box it turns your ship to that direction?
>Can you turn that off yet?

>>2693855
I like it, its fun, but it doesn't quite hit right. Its not quite as satisfying as I wish it was.

beta anarchy is shit. all clients are private, so whoever finds their old 2011 client wins. viafabricplus is an option, but at that point play some 2b clone, its better to play a server on the version its hosted on imo.

Happens to me daily, it's micro reloads with desync. You don't even lose pathing you just go 90-150 distance units behind your ship.

something something small indie company pls understand

>>2796424
My ship died somehow. First sinking and it was on a perfectly peaceful beach.
But yeah I know what you mean with the reloads. One time I swam all the way back to my ship and couldn't get behind the wheel because the ship wasn't actually there, it was 100 meters in the opposite direction but desynched on my client. Now I quit to chara select and load back in before I try to board.
