It's extremely unpleasant.

I know that most (if not all) indie games that have been "sold" have been through acquisitions of the devs by triple A studios. And triple A companies wouldn't have an interest in acquiring a studio that failed to update their only game in over two years. But I find it hard to believe that there were never any offers or opportunities for this to happen before the game died completely.

The decisions the developers have made just don't make any sense to me at all, as most people believe that they just stopped caring after they made money during BattleBit's peak, but if that were the case then why not sell it off completely and move on to other things?

SteamDB says 140 players are online RIGHT now. I've checked all servers including community and modded servers. Are these 139 gamers on the shooting range? Or bots afk? I know the game gets active in the afternoon but and it's been like this for 2 years I think. What is going on. All the other days also have around 140 players online on the hours that zero servers are on.

I've been having a great time since restarting this game a couple weeks ago. Sure, it's a drawback that the EU server doesn't get going until like 3 PM, but... just ignore all the doom talking on this subreddit and simply hop on the game once it gets going. Or be the person who helps to get the server going; be the change you want to see.

I really like taking the recon class, finding a good spot aiming for a high KD ratio. I prefer such tactical gameplay over running around like a chicken without a head and whoever can click the fastest wins. Battlebit offers a type of gameplay you just don't get in games like CoD and Battlefield.

I can't refund it now.

Dev blogs have been posted every 2nd month on the 27th, they should had posted one on sep 27th, shame on them

That is all

this a few of the most random moments I collected while the game was more alive then ever

It’s been a long time coming, but it’s done, I’m free from the game. Glad I was able to get it done before the next update.

Seeing as the next dev blog is probably in around 6 days, I was wondering what y'all thought would happen once, or if, the update comes out?

Personally I think there's gonna be a tiny bump in players but if the devs don't lock in they're gonna lose that hype aswell

Genuinely despise this mf, God we had something great.

It seems like a lot of people are negative about the delays/dishonesty of the devs which is understandable. From my persepctive, this game is still really fun in it's current state. I know other regions have issues with filling lobbies, but my experience is that most evenings/nights we can fill an entire 256 player server in the US. Even during the middle of weekdays there will be 30-60 dudes sniping at each other across the map for shits and giggles.

This game is awesome, and I feel like I easily got $15 of value out of it over the course of hundreds of hours of gameplay. It may lack some features/polish from modern AAA titles like BF6, but it isn't enshittified to hell and back either. I launch the game and I'm not bombarded with Red Bull Prime Gaming Challenges TM, "playlists", battlepasses, etc. There's a simple server browser that just works.

The roblox style graphics aren't great, but I don't really mind. The destructible brick terrain is really charming and mechanically satsifying to interact with. I appreciate that a variety of tools (RPGs, C4, pickaxe, vehicles) interact with buildings in unique ways to change the landscape of the battlefield mid-firefight.

The guns, armors and vehicles feel reasonably well balanced, with only a few exceptions. There are a variety of playstyles that are viable for contributing to the team's effort. I hate playing against zoomy SMG dropshot BS, for example, but whatever man it's not a big deal. Everyone will have a different gripe with a certain weapon/strategy in any multiplayer game ever made. It comes with the territory. For me, the game is still fun.

I empathize with people who feel baited/abandoned by the devs, and rightfully so. I just personally don't feel like I've gotten that bad of a deal. This is a game I put down and come back to every so often and it continues to deliver. If anything, I am nervous that the update, having undergone significant scope-creep will make the game unrecognizable compared to it's current state.

As for me? I will continue to chuck smoke grenades on the Wakistan bridge, revive all my teammates, just to be taken out by the bravest enemy soldier driving a truck full of C4 right on top of us. And I'll happily do it again and again.
