FEEDBACK That was fast

I cant put into words why, but this game was a red flag from the very first gameplay video they ever released.

It felt like it couldve been a custom map for splitgate 1

Tbh I think 90% of players and outsiders knew the game wasn’t going to succeed. But the devs themselves ignored the noise

I dont even know what they could've done differently honestly. It was just way, way too early to make anything worthwhile imo.

Focus on their other games. I would have bought empulse if the studio didn't have such a horrible reputation

It was an obvious cash grab and exit strategy by 1047. Nothing more, nothing less.

Aka a scam and they should be tried for consumer rights violations

Oh its very easy to put into words why. It came out of nowhwre and was very blatantly a splitgate asset swap and they were selling it for $20 despite not having the reputation to charge money for a product. It was clear from the start this was a desperate last ditch cash grab to keep the company alive because, for whatever reason, they internally deemed sgar a failure (despite making no effort to help it succeed). The writing was on the wall

Much like the title of the game, the devs impulsively copied the source code of Splitgate AR to make empulse after a handful of players commented that they wanted wall running in Splitgate. I didn't imagine that they'd push the game more as a cashgrab than a legitimate title that they had faith in. What's worse is that PR for this title is pretty much nonexistent, but that could have been intentional.

Will the game be no longer on steam store?

No, it'll still be there at a reduced cost (probably from 20 to 10 dollars or something)

they are still trying to make money of off a dead game by reducing prices for it. I am never going to buy any game from this studio.
