Bro made lore for corporate greed 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

[@OneMor3Win]

? They won’t support a live game for so long for no reason. You’re not obligated to purchase anything. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@Dexthedoge]

@@OneMor3Win Bro does not understand that the emporium has gotten out of hand and is being prioritized over making new content or fixing their broken ass game. Maybe if the game was great since launch they could rely only on sales, but instead they delivered an under-baked, glitchy mess that, while (mostly) amended, still tarnishes their reputation to this day.

[@OneMor3Win]

@@Dexthedoge As a developer of a live service game I can assure you. Not even 10% of their development costs are being spent on the emporium. Due to its simplistic nature in reskins, they’re highly likely to be 1-2 years ahead of their release cadence anyways. The quarterly income is what justifies continued development support in business, not the initial game sales. There has to be a continuous streaming quality ROI to justify a quality live team. Also, things continually break as you add features, that’s the nature of development. Clearly the best engineers most- familiar with the code have been shifted onto bigger projects. I agree some of their most longest lasting bugs should have been fixed by now, assuming they’ve allowed young inexperienced 20-30 year old freshies handle engineering, I’m guessing they’ve “fixed” things in the past that lead to unforeseen issues, and now leadership and production do not trust engineering to move at too fast of a pace, and they require more QA checks before hot fixing anything. They’re avoiding adjusting features and systems as it’s probably sensitive. Which explains the extremely slow responses to any emergency hotfixes for basic issues, and why often there are work around for patches. Keep in mind developers are working on active new features which take months to develop, whilst also occasionally doing bug fixes in between depending on the urgency. The emporium has no negative effects on the quality of the development team, its success only improves everything. But I assure you, if the emporium wasn’t doing well enough, this game would have stopped receiving live updates years ago. Be thankful it’s there if you care to still play this ‘glitchy mess.’

They need to add captain Fumble to a tall tale😂

[@BigVince80bce]

Its my first time watching one of your videos. I wasnt expecting how funny and witty it was gonna be. Great video mate, you've got a new sub.

[@captainwolf348]

Fumble, you still have a debt to pay.

[@Herothecreaturemaker]

For those DC comic fans, Captain Fumble turned into the pirate version of The Question.

[@ricoismydaddy2232]

What’s with me finding these new, creative SoT channels. It’s great!! Subbed 🎉

[@basil2137]

Such incredible voice acting, great video 🏴‍☠️

[@ABigRedShirt]

I knew after the island reviews it was a good idea to sub to you

[@captainclassic]

if rare is watching this, possible new tall tale?

[@Cosmixein8]

Just found this and this was amazing I loved every minute

[@CaramelCraft]

Reading the 3rd dialogue option from the emporium people reveal they are collecting ancient coins to unlock their power. (Power being the magic of the the Ancients)

[@TheHammerofDissidence]

The fixed camera angles give me 2008 machinima vibes.

[@WaffleMelonChannel]

This is so good ommggg keep it up

[@conoregan3718]

Amazing video mate, I'm genuinely surprised you are not bigger than you are. Please keep going with this and I hope you'll grow

[@justsomedud6682]

Building off another comment. I believe in the port merrick emporium, if you ask the shopkeeper about the emporium he’ll mention that it has connections to the GMU, and then he’ll immediately realize that he wasn’t supposed to tell you that.

[@kubutai2489]

Aye, I reck'n they be hiding secrets they are! (Making amazing content so far! Well done! 🍻)

Amazing vid. The ending made me feel kinda bad for him. Lmao. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Iateman]

You have an incredible voice!

[@ABigRedShirt]

I’d love to see some good machinimas or gameplay with your pirate, even a live stream sounds really fun

[@AaronDengler]

Impressive!

Amazing video!)

[@AstridRackham]

Ye should bring even more light upon the evils of the Grand Maritime Union!

[@hilberthaandrikman4875]

yarr, the pirate lord won't help us with this one mateys. i think we need to tell captain flameheart what's going on on the seas. He has let's say, a bit more experience in destroying the grand union. maybe he can help drive them back in the shroud.

Ye dare mention that cowardice cur of a King mate? Well just for ye I'll hold me tongue about it all. But if ye heard of that..."king" certainly ye heard of a certain himbo o' the Sea O' Theives aye? The pirate who be sailin' the flag o' The Jade Dragon, ye heard o' them savvy?
