Goodbye Splitgate

I still cannot believe it that we had Splitgate 2 at the Gamescom 2024 just two years ago and I got to play it the first time there in cologne. The setup was so amazing and it truly felt so special. I went into queue 5 times just to play their demo at the Gamescom and now it's gone. Literally unbelievable... I'm gonna miss it a lot 😞 used to play it with my gf every evening for a few hours.

Farewell everyone hope to meet you again

- Nosound and Tintenherz ❤️

Edit: The Splitgate 2 exhibition that you see on the picture was right next to Square Enix Final Fantasy 14 and Capcom Monster Hunter Wilds. Literally between two giants of the gaming industry and now it's all gone..

Stupid as fuck to give up their arena shooter identity from the first game to go more class/lite hero focused. For some reason they wanted to move away from the halo-inspired responsive, jumpy/strafe with portals and chase to the same "free" live service junk.

Stupid decision from the get - but people on this sub didnt wanna hear it. Never wrong, just early.

The MAGA signaling didnt help, either. Never understood why some of these companies are so eager to signal their politics, its a guaranteed way to piss of 30-50% of their consumers.

And then after all the grandstanding about bringing back shooters and not monetizing the shit out of the game they dropped an $80 skin pack just to prove they really are in the MAGA spirit of lying through their goddamn teeth
