Had over 1,000 hours in New World when I quit back in 2023. It was rough back then. Awkward patches, tons of game and server destroying bugs, and weird communication from support and Amazon. Drove me and many others away sometimes permanently. I heard very good things about

@PirateSoftware Why is this guy still posting

@PirateSoftware What’s crazy is the meta of blaming AI efficiency for layoffs and then the real message of “we need to cut bureaucracy” with it, but still: Five years or so of having a huge budget for resources and being on multiplatform and still failing, and also the pivot in vision back in

@PirateSoftware Check out Far Far West, just tried the playtest, great game, I think you'd dig it.

@PirateSoftware When you had a full War with competent leaders on both sides, and it wasnt lagging, it was one of the most fun PVP experiences ive played

@PirateSoftware someone buy the Anthem IP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

@PirateSoftware I had about 1000 hours before release... Wish I could talk about it. 😢

@PirateSoftware Ever hear of a game called "Asheron's Call"? This reminded me of it.

@PirateSoftware AGS failed it. Their recent "DLC" was just a cash grab apparently.

@PirateSoftware Yes and no, you should also advise people of potential issues like not getting enough founding or the game being not successful, we gotta be honest, most games end up in noones library

@PirateSoftware Do you think another develop team can buy New World from AmazonGames?

@PirateSoftware dude shut the fuck up

@PirateSoftware Good thing New World didn’t have any mana gems

@PirateSoftware this is what you wanted by opposing stop killing games. this is the fault of you and other moronic leeches like you. fuck off

@PirateSoftware Though I have an idea for a ridiculous video game, I know nothing about how to even begin that whole process. That being said, your general encouragement to people to "make things" is really awesome. I'm building a fretless bass, and it's gonna be sweet.

@PirateSoftware STOP FUCKING KILLING GAMES!!!!

@PirateSoftware It'd be great if there was some kind of initiative to hand over these games if they were shut down to the public so others could run them and keep the games alive, essentially by stopping the killing of them 🤔🤔🤔

@PirateSoftware I dont even think this is just a "it's not sustainable anymore" issue, ESO has had a third of the player base and they call it a success. IMO this is just a AI game slop is cheaper to maintain and will make more money than MMOs kinda thing... Sad day for gaming as a whole

@PirateSoftware Funnily enough they did the same thing with The Wheel of Time tv Series

@PirateSoftware its not just New World that's dead, but from what i've heard AGS as a whole is gone. the linkedin page for AGS is apparently gone. just to be replaced by AI as the reports have been saying in articles.

@PirateSoftware Much like Google with Stadia, Amazon is quitting on this way too soon. Big corporate don't have the patience it takes to enter and establish a company in the gaming space.

@PirateSoftware Good games are hard to come bye.

@PirateSoftware Been following New World since before it came out, had friends who got into it but never ended up playing it myself. Heard the hype about it getting some good updates recently and nearly bought it roughly a week ago. Glad I didnt now lol

@PirateSoftware I've been wanting to make a side scroller, but haven't touched any of those game makers... Been modding for DayZ with some fun results.

@PirateSoftware The battle cry of old Gamers. Go Make Games! We remember the golden age, and we can bring it back!

@PirateSoftware who asked you

@PirateSoftware I admire this optimistic take.

@PirateSoftware Crazy 33 reference at the end, but good message to have, its so much easier to make games now than it was when I started learning code.

@PirateSoftware Aren't you that guy with that controversy or sth

@PirateSoftware Too little, too late.

@PirateSoftware Indies and AA studios are really what will keep the gaming market from crashing down. Big studios can’t all survive with the way they operate now.

@PirateSoftware New World PvP was really fun though! And the movement combined with graphics was better than every other MMORPG out. https://youtu.be/UF8gMOqD24Y

@PirateSoftware Always appreciated your space on the internet 💪

@PirateSoftware I'm not reading all that, I just wanted to tell you to drop the ego.

@PirateSoftware I cry every day I think of Anthem

@PirateSoftware go fuck yourself voice changing, small dick, piece of shit
