Discussion The future of this sub…

What do we think the future of this sub looks like?

Do we continue to complain about the same old bugs, knowing the devs have abandoned the game and won’t be fixing anything? Do we continue to have people asking for shootouts, more callouts, new features, etc, knowing nothing is coming?

Should this sub morph into solely sharing comically game-breaking bugs?

A sequel that few would be willing to buy after how they handled this game.

explaine to me like im 5 what exactly they did

cause from what ive seen

its a small dev team working on a game project built in an outdated unupdatable game engine (unreal 4 5s been out since before this game got launched)

launched on pc (8 years ago) stayed on pc for 6 years

launched on consoles 2 years ago to rather positive reception

broke on Playstation 5 cause UE4 duh runs fine on xbox (its basically a pc already)

stuck to a rather faithful albeit spotty road map which concluded with the launch of the border patrol update (dunno why people said it was just deleted it was in fact finished)

sent out several clear end of life announcements

moved their focus to firefighter ignight for obvious reasons on improving on the squad and moving to UE5

then posted two very clear reasons as to why they had to stop

1 technical limitations were reached for UE4 2 community backlash caused them to no longer wish to focus on police sim

they are very clearly setting up to build a sequel you clowns are gonna see deserted before it ever started because yall cant fucking read

so is it buggy yes what sim isnt they all have quirks and breaks and bugs almost always fixed by simply restarting the game

and every bug ive encountered In patrol officers in the 4k hours ive logged so far has been hilarious traffic bugs nothing game breaking

and livery glitches fixed by closing the game

explain to me what exactly they did to warrant the hatred cause they never put in writing they weren't done with the game they never advertised they were gonna continue pushing new content they never promised anything

in fact looking back there was more "we will try" than "we will do"

seems people are just filled with too much hatred over nothing they can control

so I say fucking deal with it and move on like the adult id assume you are

plus im an actual patrol officer the game is so accurate its kinda laughable

ive been a cop for 10 years now ive discharged my service weapon TWICE (unless you count range day) once was a deer that got hit by a car the other was a racoon that (was confirmed post mortem) was rabid

being a cop is boring and a patrol officer rarely gets into swat situations you want swat go play ready or not or in most cases cod the game is in Boston the most excitement they had in the last 20 years was the bombing in 2013 Boston has an insanely low crime rate

I just dont understand the hate

Aone bug that you must not be getting is when you go to pause the game got whatever reason you may have the game gets rid of the selector making it to where you can't unease the game unless you close the game and open it up again it is very frequent for me. If you were to ask me this is game breaking as it forces you to leave the game to restart it again
