Kebral space program was doing great. It had a big community, and it was reciving some good expansions. Then the CEOs had the great idea to make a sequel because they thought they could make more money! Long story short KSP 2 has now been abandonded by the CEOs, it didnt make money, and the KSP1 community kind of disbanded when KSP2 was launched. Basically the CEOs rekt their IP by making a sequel for the wrong reasons. In other words its smart by Pearl Abyss to postpone Crimson Desert when Black Desert is still alive and well.

Important to note that KSP2 devs were a different company from ksp1

[@nightlifedoc5385]

​@@rnedisc Are you trying to blame the developers? KSP 2 is the way it is because thats how the CEOs ordered it.

CCP has been aggresive with sales and also SKINR was designed to extract money adding to the boost in revenue. However they paid for this with credibility, and going forward people are going to spend less money on the game.

Incorrect. It’s not “being aggressive with sales”. If you have an experience with sales, this is called adding an extra revenue stream (in the form of a video game) not being aggressive with sales. Something which is ever changing in a gaming atmosphere. New packs, new skins, new skinr designs. They’re all designed to obviously increase sales temporarily. Nobody is “extracting” money. Why you people act like these people are some form of the IRS I will never understand. They provide entertainment for us, which we should be glad to pay for, which has past the test of time, which they STILL are vigorously expanding. What more do you want? Stop acting like they’re trying to steal from us.

@@mace400 What makes you think the people who work at CCP care about the game and the players?

[@mace400]

@@fergus247 hmm let me thing, maybe because it’s been around for 20 years? Maybe because they’re still expanding it? Maybe because they are adding current / past players (bjorn, suitonia, and others) to their actual pay roll and giving players a real voice. Uhm what else… I could easily name more important points, but what else do you want? Your either a veteran who literally just never got good and was a little line boy when they played, or you just are a hater. One or the other.
