[@codiwilkinson9804]

I realized they were just a bunch of empty words a while ago. It truly is sad. I think they started out with good intentions but then got greedy and lost touch with the vision. I think that’s why some of my favorite people left the team, they still had the vision in mind and realized it wasn’t ever going to happen. The lack of good horse games breaks my heart on the regular. Some of the best games I’ve played are from the early 2000s.

[@lornamarler8813]

You want a horse game that is open worldmulti player even the ranches you can ride around in an invite your friends there too. An you do not have to buy gems unless you want the game does give gems you can save up for summonings tack horses an fantasy horses. It is a Foxie game called Star Equestrian Horse Ranch. Yes it is fairly new an they do keep trying to improve opon it. Star Equestrian Horse Ranch is actually one of the best outshining this game by far.

I'm also absolutely dying at the idea that "we just wanted to make a horse game, we didn't care how it would be monetised!!" Uh. I've literally been in discussions on making games in niche markets, like horse games. Even if you aren't presenting business models for grants, how you're going to monetise the thing is step number one in planning. The base mechanics need to be crafted with the monetisation plan in mind. Is it pay up front? Is it free to download with paid bonuses? Is it progression gated? You kind of need to know these things very early!

There have been so many (me included) players that played since the release that Warner about it. We tried so hard to make others wake up but majority of ppl didn't care. They puked out 300 coins for a pass and told off any negativity as "hate" and told us to shut up and leave the community if we so don't like it. But the thing is we all loved the game, it HAD potential. But the developers are crap af

[@YTRattle]

It had so much potential, but they treated it like a cash cow instead of a game and here we are. I'm sorry for anyone who invested in this game ♥

[@avikasixfour2362]

i have been one of main negative voices when horses started to cost coins in the market. There are solid 20 super active players that must generate enough income for then to stay somewhat afloat. Like amount of cash they waste on this game is ridiculous. Devs don't care about game breaking glitches but they removed the breeding glitch literally 3 days after someone mentioned it in the main group. They have been promising dressage for years and then backed out after realising it will actually take time and effort to implement opposed to reusing Kyoto season for like 5th time and slapping new paint onto same tack we have already 10 swatches of. The game has been dead for months, the devs killed it. It honestly has such a loyal fan base and devs just exploited it beyond repair

I am never touching a game made by them. They will never receive any of my money - even if they change their ways. The way she thinks of customers is sickening. She acts as if she's giving us a gift, when all she's given us is coal dusted in a thick layer of poo, and demands we kiss her feet for it. The entire situation, and the way Molly acts, rubs me the wrong way. Makes me super uncomfy, and disgusted. She should be ashamed of how she's acting, but she's not, and probably never will. Never supporting etg, or any of her future projects. I'm glad I only spent 5 minutes in the game when I didn't know about the whole discord thing, I saved myself so much time and money.

Rattle vs Abigail, the greatest battle in the horse gaming community.

[@Constellasaur]

Something that never ceases to baffle me is the disregard for the non-paying players. ETG's stance that if ur not paying ur opinion matters less (the way its framed its sounding like if ur not paying ur opinion matters not at all tbh) but like... Shoudn't the goal BE to turn non-paying players into paying players? You don't make any bit of the community happy when u write off those not actively paying as unimportant because that type of attitude will never turn those players INTO paying players. For all Star Stables faults, I can appriciate the attempts they make to make the experience better for non-paying players (assess to seasonal events to some regards, reworking the beginning quests to make them more engaging for new players, etc.) Which often turns those non-paying players INTO paying players, which SHOULD be part of the goal LOL

[@HannaFardew]

Looking back on it, it is hilarious how the SSO community immediately jumped on the train that ETG was going to be better than SSO before ETG launch. Now it is worse than SSO and way more money hungry. I'm glad the community learned from their mistake and are taking two potential better games with a grain of salt and not setting the bar extremely high.

[@seen_n_unseen]

I love horse games, I miss being able to ride again, but I will be honest the horse game community is so *exhausting* to be in sometimes. All these games we put high hope on like ‘ooooh this looks like it’ll be the one!’ only for our hearts to be either lightly bruised somewhere or flat out just stabbed out of us. (Or maybe its just me, don’t let me talk for you) its exhausting but we’re still waiting on the game that’ll hit most of the boxes of what we want or don’t want. I salute you Rattle for having the patience and endurance to keep up with ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME, OH MY WORD HAVE MY PERSONAL STASH OF TEA

[@hors3g1rl94]

Yeah, I definitely agree. Sometimes I just take a few months where I don't involve myself in the community itself but just play the games and chill and try to be positive, or I just go on red dead online and do the races on there because there's actually good and the horses feel so alive lol. But tales of rain ravine has been my saving grace as of late! Definitely still upset that the game dev didn't communicate well, but now that the game is out on steam for free at last, I have finally found a game to love, even if it's still only early access. Can't wait for more lessons, show jumping and proper dressage to be added! ❤❤

If you like the breeding and training aspect of horse games, Horse World Online is a very well established, solid, not money hungry game with a very sweet and responsive dev team.

I’m a mod for some pretty active discord servers for RPGs and I could not IMAGINE feeling guilty for going to work for only 4-6 hours. That poor mod. Majority of my shifts are 12-14 hours cause I work at an animal ER hospital so I am away way longer. Do I feel guilty when I get behind on my tasks? Absolutely. Has my team ever made me feel bad about it? No. I could not imagine us shaming each other for having REAL LIFE issues. At the end of the day we volunteer our free time because we enjoy our hobby. Hobby being the keyword. Your mods and ambassadors wellbeing’s are important they shouldn’t feel shamed for not being able to give 100% of their time all the time

[@LittleKitten702]

Hi, Thank you for your sweet message (I showed the others it as well). I am said person. I was an ambassador not a mod but it was a difficult time for me. I was already working in a toxic environment and my hobby had turned toxic as well, it did feel like there was no escape however I had my friend to cheer me up when I was down, laugh with and play games with. Pretty much all of the mods and ambassadors are still very close due to a server we created when launch happened so that we didn’t clog up the chats with our constant chatter. It was named super secret server in pig Latin as a joke because we couldn’t think of a name and I remember Molly assuming it was a server we made to bitch about her despite me putting it in the ambassador chat, we even have a few of the Ex devs in there though they’re not active on discord anymore. Looking back at that time still makes me sad but I am grateful that I have the friends I made from their server so at least ETG did something good for me. (If any of my awesome nerds read this. I love you guys)

[@Karin029_]

I'm glad I got out when I did. I'm someone who played this game for hours, every day, during the pandemic, set timers for shop resets and everything and even did spend a bit more money than I wanted to initially. I struggled a lot with the stable slot number, especially once breeding came out. Eventually, despite really trying to wait it out, I started getting bored of the game because of the lack of content and I also started getting whiffs of (overly) greedy monetary implementation. I tried revisiting every now and then, but every time there were just new ways to spend money and new cosmetics. Half the time the new competition courses were glitched and the leaderboards were led by cheaters which persisted even after they said they fixed it. Screw that.

[@rhi963]

ETG is such a deep wound for me, I played the first year it came out and fell in love with the whole game, even though it was always expensive, it seemed worth it with the regular updates and addition of new content, I thought we would be able to eventually retire our older horses in order to save our favorite horses and keep the stable clean but they just gave us 36 stable slots and abandoned any plans for a pasture/retirement system and that means I have to abandon my game once I max out my stables and dont want to sell anymore of my favorite horses. thats my biggest complaint is that all the money spent on custom horses and breeding gets tossed away in game for close to nothing. its honestly quite a disgtusting and ugly thing when you realize how much passion and hard work gets dumped so easily. the least they couldve done would have been adding nore stables and a pasture like rival stars. i bred myself into a corner and im not willing to sell any of the horses i have, theyre all too rare and hard to breed, so the game ive spent easily over $200 USD on just sits with no activity. its shameful. this was all before pintos even, imo pintos ruined the game for good in a weird way..... God I miss my flaxen chestnut welsh cob Willow so much.... I sold her to make space for higher pot horses but i wouldve retired her just to have a joy ride here and there but the devs just have their heads too far up where the sun doesnt shine to see what people want and need. RIP what etg could have been 💔

[@YTRattle]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I'm not there yet, but I can see my stables filling up and I am very much convinced that I'm going to be in the same boat as you in a short while. I don't understand how a game can be this badly developed and designed, but here we are. It's a tragedy of a game. Not gonna lie.

[@patchyxx]

$200+ USD on something I don't even use anymore. For shame on me. For shame (please don't tell my husband haha). I would definitely spend a one-time $50 on the most perfect, complete, and well-rounded PC horse game, but it will never exist. There is no market for a horse game. Mobile apps with micro transactions or (barf) PC games with micro transactions are the only options for horse games. I played ETG from day 1 until they announced paywalling the trailer. Never went back. Sigh.

[@hypotheoretic3050]

Another job well done, Rattle. Unfortunately I was a beta tester as well for this game and backed the game, I had so much hope for this game and liked only a few technical things about the game. While that being said it still needed attention and work. Over 2 years later none of these technical things I liked about ETG had been "fleshed" out or expanded upon. When I had hopes that they would focus on gameplay aspects and at least SOME sort of way to grind for premium currency- the updates continued to be about seasons (which are great!--- if done correctly). They've dropped aspects of the game that would have gave players a diverse experience- a true shame. From the get go at launch they've operated under the lens of $$$ and it's a shame they refuse to work at mending their community. Thank you for sharing these videos to bring exposure to those who did not see all that goes on behind the scenes, keep up the phenomenal work ~ ♥

I remember waking up, checking discord and being all ”???” when no-one had any right to speak there anymore. Someone from another server filled me in on the drama. Not long after i lost all hope for the game, especially after seeing how molly indeed never really apologised to or thanked the mods.

I also got blocked for giving legit feedback (it was usually just what I thought of a new update or me talking in the replies with someone) I can also confirm that the mods did EVERYTHING and were REALLY nice Her behavior in that interview and using it to announce a new gane shows that they have learnt NOTHING. i will never support another game of theirs until they address ETG.

It's a game made by non-gamers to generate easy money. I'm embarrassed they're from Sweden and using such predatory gambling tactics.

[@exceednexcel]

I was always sceptical of ETG. I remember seeing it when it was in development and thought they'd had huge dreams. Then it became a mobile game. I don't play mobile because of the micro transactions and ads. And now I am watching it crash and burn..

[@exarteria]

I downloaded the game after seeing an ad for it, saw how much i have to pay for basic things, and immediately uninstalled it

[@red_panda2662]

Nah bc I just lost my entire game file with over 100$ worth of e-coins due to a glitch and they are refusing to gimme my acc back or refund me 😭

[@Lu13s]

I wish I was part of the community so I could thank all the HARD working people who did it for free. I don't understand the work at all but I hope that the ex-mods are in a better place right now. I hope the creators of the game and those who were in charge of the servers (Not mods) do better. Also, having no foals in a game with breeding? Like... really? Also I love the idea of having horses retire after a certain time. Like when they get too old. I know little to nothing about horses but I do love listening to all the videos while I work on art projects or crochet projects. 300- 1700?!!!???!?!?! A jump of 1400 :O I can understand of 1-200 (Maybe 3-400) but 1400 is a massive jump! D: WTH NOPE Never going to be playing this game ever!!! (Unless it has a huge revamp and becomes better)

[@Aimee0206]

The fact that they're using AI is bad enough, but the fact that they're using *bad* AI is just laughable. I remember one ad where a horse had five legs, another where the horse's face was horribly stretched, and the ones in your/Abigail's video have bits as nose and lip piercings 😆

[@YTRattle]

Oh yeah, it was HORRIBLE lol!

[@SakuraStallion]

Every day I am more glad I was banned from the Mane Quest server when I find out how drama filled it is in there.

[@LilCatSillyTheSillyOne]

Rattle please with some of these predictions about their next game, if they come true you gotta put them in a vid about the new game as a gag. I'd lol so hard

[@hjordo645]

Not me getting an ad for the game before this video.

[@DeniseWolfsong]

It's just so sad, as this game really had potential. The horse models and animations really stand out and I have never seen such a good attemt to translate real riding into game controls. It really shocked me to hear they are considering ETG close to completion - that is ridiculous and just confirms that it was the right decision to not spend any more money on the game quite a long time ago. I really wonder what those 20 people are working on. I think there is so much room for small improvements that should not be too hard or time consuming. Just to mention one example, since launch players are asking for an option to change the manes and tails and all they managed to do so far is remove the braids from breeding. I really don't mind paying for a game if prices are fair and if I actually get some value in return. Sadly most "free to play" games don't manage to find a good balance and there's just always the chance that after seven years the devs just tell their players, sorry, but we are not able to deliver what we promised, so we consider the game complete now and move on to the next project.

[@MeaghanEdwards]

I wish instead the usual jumping game genre, devs would consider something different, like harness and barrel racing

[@TeaganMachawk]

Quite disappointed as they promised us an "awesome free horse game", we were promised dressage and they cancelled that so thats also disappointing. Most horses are now e-coins which cost quite alot of money, i still do sometimes play it but not often anymore

[@klltx2001]

This isn't related to the video subject but I wanna know what that background music is bc it's kinda a bop. :P

[@atari3371]

I have never been more interested in something I know nothing about

[@alisonmccain]

Regardless of all critics, I simply enjoy the game and since I'm a very patient person, I don't mind saving up on coins for a long time to buy a new horse

[@Autumn_aep]

The fact that I got multiple ETG ads while watching this…

[@LeFurball]

let's go, Rattle video

[@cloakthelibrarian]

I think I spent 10 minutes playing ETG. I just couldn't stand the controls or the microtransactions.

[@atiredwolfwantsomerest4852]

Nevermind, just finished the video and now I need a wiskey too

[@pigeon6333]

Omg the KZbin ad I got was for this game lol on this video

[@LadyKatzilla]

I downloaded it for fun around a year ago... it was just bored. I mean, I really hate the trend of mobile-games with waiting on stuff for endless hours/days, not to speak of the money you can spend on that damn things. But ETG was plain boring from the first minutes I dived into it. They really just made a shop and did some gameish stuff around it to klick on... that's it.

[@nobuns4sale]

RATTLE! You should do Star Equestrian! It also has these problems too, the devs refuse to listen to people. Especially if we are reporting long term glitches about the game or if the game forgot to give you your currency after you just flat out bought from it. Everytime an update occurs, new glitches form. It feels half-assed. And there’s people pouring out a fortune on horses; especially breeding. The costs are crazy; and the devs never let us know anything about updates or storylines. It’s been over a year and they never added anymore stories despite it being labeled “unfinished.” Even above all this they decided to create a game called “Pony Tales” behind our backs whilst there’s many problems within Star Equestrian! I’m just pissed. Anyway, great video!

[@karinastoryteller768]

The game features some of the best horse mechanics, but it’s unfortunate that their marketing sucks the dick of leviathan at the bottom of the mariana trench. It had so potential but now it's sinking

[@pepsiboorowe]

“I’m not sober!” Lol 😂
