Warrior General Games

this is what I got from this thread:

1-game is no longer profitable so no more updating/evolving/adapting/improving is worth their investment.

2-no more updating/evolving/adapting/improving was done so game became no longer profitable.



So a game, that would require updating/evolving/adapting/improving in order to remain successful and enjoyable, was neglected by a poor business decision or possibly laziness. The users who have purchased effective playing time in the game are now told their investment becomes more useless everyday because the developers have quit with new priorities elsewhere.

I want to mention that just because flex can be utilized across the WGG platform doesn't mean I have any interest in spending my time in any of those others games and that allowance some how makes up for the abandonment of development for this game.

Also utilizing the example of how many years of support and or development for other games as a reason to provide support for the lack of any improvement here is lame. The structures of different games, companies, businesses are not the same and shouldn't be bluntly compared as alleged apples to apples comparisons.

In the end the business decision is WGGs to make regarding GLB1. I think the appropriate thing would be to come out and indicate some transparity regarding the lack of any future GLB1 development, no suggestion implementation etc. It hasn't happened because they still want you to buy every last piece of flex they can squeeze out of you, but I believe that ethically that would be the right thing to communicate.

The ship was already sinking prior to being out of beta.

Okay, STFU for a minute everyone.


Euchrid, check out support ticket #128472 ASAP please. Fuck the other tickets.


thx in advance

Coaches!

thx bro

meh

Thread has run it's course. I just start shit like this every time I feel the admins are almost starting to like me.

what i never understood was if bort was really done with glb1, why didnt he give more power to the people he left to maintain it.

theres simple things that could be done to keep this game fun like keeping the league structure balanced with the active user count or have someone post more often about things going on even if its stuff like pallow did last month.

we get offseason starts, last day will be, welcome to season and tournaments are up

im sure someone left to maintain it could spice it up with playoff announcements, popular posts, top plays, world league storylines or tournament winners

i thought of this post for the same amount of time it took me to type it and there was plenty of ideas that bort is not needed to breathe life into this game. im sure if this was your job you could find more interesting ideas.

I have offered to jazz this place up with stuff like this for flexies. They have not responded to my offer.

oh and bort doing a q+a would help answer things people would still like to know about. i see plenty of does this work with that threads that he could indirectly answer to make everyone feel like their builds were being nerfed again. not all q+a are about improving the game

Bort should gather the admins and mods and invade FFA again.

If you're expecting steady dedicated development for games 6+ years after they are released and well past being profitable, then yes, you are going to generally be disappointed.

would this statement really be accurate?

The game was in beta forever and thus was able to fly under the "its in beta, your expectations should include there being issues and errors." Once the game was released from beta it was given up on. Perhaps I am just a fool, but I expected the beta part to fix the kinks in the sim/gameplay and then once released the game would continue to make overall improvements.

What we saw that was once the game came out of beta, it was like "here enjoy it, and we wish you well."

To me its obvious, since GLB2 was released, that GLB1 was abandoned as a failure. Personally I wish that GLB1 had just morphed into GLB2 and we wouldn't have all the BS in-between.

they have declared GLB1 unprofitable. thus they are not going to do anything with it anymore.

any real game sends out patches or upgrades to keep business going

chicken and the egg. is the game unprofitable because it gets no attention or does the game get no attention because its unprofitable. whats real the cost here, running servers? paying family and friends pennies to admin? maybe they shouldnt flow money earned in glb1 to other games development and call glb1 unprofitable. in every business ive ever worked in we used revenue to keep the product current.
