Scott and his Boss/Management shouldbe fired... this screams corporate BS in my eyes.

Calling it for the whole dev team to be fired is also BS.

I believe this is true. It seems to me that they feel like the PC mmorpg fanbase "abandoned" the game, so they are moving on without us. That's the impression I've had since this whole thing started. Even the short, cherry-picked Q&A video for PC players was phoned in, and all three of them looked like they wish they were anywhere else but making that video. This game is going to continue to remove or dumb down the MMORPG features until it's a standard, puddle-deep ARPG. The cash shop will be 100% pay to win. They aren't going back in the direction of a full MMORPG again. They can't handle the scale of it.
@Tasos_GK3 ай бұрын
Things are pretty simple: They are having pressure from higher levels of the corporate chain to bring in revenue. That's why AGS changed direction, to new profitable audience (Console gamers), and this would explain why Rise of the Angry Earth expansion felt so rushed and was a paid dlc. I suspect that expanding to consoles would be an inevitable step forward, but the time it occured shows that they are kinda on fire.

I read this article last week and it convinced me that AGS is concerned only about money and not making a good game. Companies like this do not function without a cost benefit analysis and a reasonable ROI. These decisions are made by people who prioritized money over quality. There may be devs who actually love the game abs want to do good work, but I think it's been clear that all decisions have only led to increasing profit. This realization combined with realizing none of the devs have ever mentioned any other mmos they've played, just has me convinced NW is a cash grab and will become more underhanded in their Monetization.

AGS truly needs to treat AGS games as if they're rock stars, and treat the fans with respect and even a bit of love for the support. Instead, they turn their backs on them, lie to them, and use them for other projects without their knowledge. AGS can shove off and shut down as far as I'm concerned. At this point they don't deserve a successful game.

I don't really see this as a terrible decision overall. More players will give AGS breathing room, the issue is what they do after they get those new players. Honestly the main problems with New World are content and gameplay loop based. What it needs is more ways to engage and connect high and low level players. It needs PvE elements to faction wars so people who can't get into the wars can help their faction. It needs some sort of "refer-a-friend" or mentoring system to help ease new players into servers. Why are we complaining about AGS adding console support, are we mad that we won't have dead servers anymore? Is this some plot by reddit to monopolize hemp harvesting?

This was always a learner project for the dev team that would eventually make the LotR MMO they actually care about. It explains why as time went on they increasingly ignored what their playerbase wanted and more on adding all the different parts of the MMO they would want to make in the future. It explains why so many resources are put toward a console release of a game on life support. The fact that New World made them money was an added bonus and never seemed to be the point. Hopefully they learned a lot as they slowly let New World atrophy into a more bare bones theme park mmo.

When a MMO that is loosing population drop a PTW DLC like new world, they know theyr pushing out lots of players that cant buy it, you maybe dont care (because they are poor, like they been called in the inchat-game) BUT, for a MMO to exist it needs MASSIVE Multiplayer Online gamers, in other words, you cant push ppl away of the game. But now theyr calling it a Action RPG (Not a MMO anymore, so... problem solved). Also with the new PTW DLC they give up the "RNG gods of the loot", because rewards are now link to your level (no DLC = 0% chance of end tier reward), farmers also cant farm end tier any more(unless they have the PTW DLC), and finally... iven if you buy the PTW DLC, how do you know they are not going to do it again? some other PTW DLC to go from lvl 65 to 70?. They are just milking the NewWorld population and now looking for console gamers. RIP New World... and it was so beautiful game. (2k hours playing it so i know)

TLDR; 💀 DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! 💀 This goes out to all possible new console players, do NOT buy this game. The game studio behind it (Amazon Game Studios - AGS) has been lying to us, the PC players for months and months now. They stopped developing the game, they are not fixing bugs, they just want you console players to invest your money in this trainwreck of a "game". AGS tries to bait you into a rebranded game "New World" -> "Aeternum" because the reviews for New World and so Aeternum were devastating. Read the Steam reviews, read the press reviews and come to your own conclusion if you dont trust us. Us PC players who have been with New World for so many months and years, we stuck to this "game company" for so long and yet they kept lying to us. This is why everyone is furious. AGS is nothing but a lying, money hungry company. They delivered nothing, no roadmap, no content, nothing, for 9 months! 💀 DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! 💀 I've uninstalled this game 3 weeks ago.
