They weren't aware they were buying a 10 year old online game? This isn't new either, many MMOs have dead periods after their final patch and before a new expansion. The crew didnt even die, they made the crew 2, which apparently was awful or else people wouldnt have complained.

Unions are important for gig/contract work or else workers get abused and its a race to the bottom.

I think its a bit ridiculous that you think you have enough information to say they should have acted sooner.

Its also ridiculous that your arguments rely on what feels wrong.

The game was 10 years old and people are salty it went EOL. How have this many people not played an online service game before to realize that 10 years is a fantastic run, and nothing lasts forever. Move onto a new game or help build one, this effort to make games live forever is absurd, entitled, and shortsighted.

Thats not what I'm asking. You just have me evidence that they didnt sell it as soon as an EOL date was announced. Are you saying they should have stopped selling it before they publicly announce the EOL? Should they have announced and removed it as soon as the board meeting ended? How much earlier would that be in this case?

Maybe calling them 545 is an insult?

Generally with humans, I assume about 99% act in good faith, regardless of what they are arguing for. Someone could argue for genocide in good faith, for example. The last 1% are sociopaths who have some intense issue with emotions or socializing, and do awful things on purpose.

I think most of the republicans are good faith, they just have shitty ideology and problem solving skills, and dont do enough to counter their own biases.

The type of person who critically reads the bible is the type of person who stops believing in religion. Sort of a shitty paradox.

For all we know when the decision to pull the game was formalized, they pulled it that day. It depends what they did after they decided the game was being pulled. Did they leave it up for a few months to get some stuff in order beforehand, but kept selling it? I'd have a tough time accepting a reasoning from Ubisoft for that.

Thats why I asked for any sort of comment or reporting on it.

Yeah I was being overly broad but its a good starting point still when looking to cut out unhealthy foods. People seem to understand why pregnant people shouldnt smoke or drink, I just think they should consider the foods they shouldnt eat either and why.

It answers the question of why they wouldnt use a professional camera instead.

They didnt plan for it to last two weeks, the game failed. How do you expect them to guarantee a certain uptime when they have no idea if anyone will even play it.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

They didnt know it would only last two weeks. They probably knew it was a possibility but I doubt they planned for it.

This is what I mean though, if concord had to say the game would be live for a guaranteed amount of time, why wouldnt they just say something low like 6 months. Why wouldnt every company do that unless they knew for sure it would be successful? Its too risky to choose longer periods of time, and we just have the same situation as now.
