![]() ![]() or LOL or Fortnite or even New World, or whatever other game strikes their fancy and makes them feel less betrayed. They're going to be playing Crowfall instead. I hope whoever did the math on how many refunds they'd see over this is good at his/her job, because those backers aren't going to just disappear into the ether. Personally I'd be more excited about this game if it was a way for me to take my CU character into this swarmy towery thing they're working on and gain benefits (not necessarily mechanical advantages) in CU for it.īut no matter whether Colossus is good or not, the company is paying for it with good will and backer patience that's already in short supply. A good virtual world should incorporate a variety of play modes to reach as broad an audience as possible (partially to justify the expense, but also just because it's good business). As it stands, however, I'm more disappointed that this mode isn't itself part of CU and is instead a stand-alone title on the same engine than that it's being announced now. The "go get neat stuff in PVE and then use it to kill people in PVP" loop is basically nonexistent in modern games (often for good reason). One of the things that disappointed me about CU was that it wouldn't have the same parallel PVE that DAOC had, and this could have been a nod in that direction. The real tragedy is that Colossus might be a fun game. ![]() The scary thing is that CSE might not be either. I'm not sure I agree, but then I'm not the one calling the shots. If CSE and its actual investors think this move is worth the risk, so be it. If I was looking for an investment I'd be on /r/wallstreetbets instead of /r/MMORPG. I bought into the CU beta, and I've basically gotten what I paid for. I have no regrets about that, and I don't feel cheated or wronged now. I backed CU way back when, and I knew the risks and threw some money at it anyway. It seems like CU's cash was tied to some pretty nasty strings, one of which was apparently "you have to make us a battle royale first." Crowfall exists and has been getting cash infusions on a regular basis, possibly with no strings attached (or at least strings that can all manifest within the development of Crowfall itself). It's not bad because it's a side project or it's a PVE co-op game or because it's a bait and switch or any of that nonsense. Without taking risk, we risk something worse: complacency, monotony, stagnation, and the suppression of innovation. Some of the failed MMOs and "early-access" games may be cash-grabs, or overly ambitious but some of them are just the same as any other game trying to get funding to launch and be more than just an idea.Īt the end of the day, among the dirt and rocks, there will always be a few gems that eventually find their way out. But lots of AAA games fail, we just don't hear about it. I understand that there is always risk, and some people don't want to take risks. You are completely entitled to your own opinion of course (and I don't mean that with any condescension or sarcasm). DOS2 is often considered to be one of the best role-playing games of all time. Have you ever played Divinity Original Sin, Divinity Original Sin 2, or Darkest Dungeon? While they aren't MMOs, they all flourished as a result of crowdfunding via Kickstarter.
