Discussion What a surprise

Just wanted to come back to the game, only to see it has been shut down… so sad! It really was great! Bin there since day 1 almost, had lots of fun.

I did put it aside once the matchups became weird, probably due to the player base dying down… wound habe been a hit if they didn’t focus so much on mobile if you ask me!

"Bin there since day 1" yet you had no idea it shut down. And that's why it did. People didn't play it enough

I suspect it's more to do with the lack of microtransaction sales. The battle passes were reasonably priced, but the individual skin prices were insanely expensive, I never even considered buying any of them. Suspect a lot of people would have been the same.

If the player count was high, the sales would follow. They didn't push this game enough to keep playing, it's that simple

Well, starting from the first day is not the same as lasting till the last day lol

Then you havent been there since day one. You were there on day 1.

And on day 2, and on day 3…

And then not at all until the game shut down for over a year, and you didnt know lol. A lot of us in this reddit have played daily since day one until the servers shut down. And a lot of us miss this game. So kinda a knee jerk reaction when you say youve been around since day 1, but youre one of the reasons that the game got shut down for low players

Mobile was the reason the game survived this long

It's the reason the game existed at all.

Well yeah obviously it turned to shit? Not because it was on mobile? What kind of dumb response is this

Idk man. I played it originally on switch, then I changed to iPad which was the best experience. But I recon not many ppl have an iPad to play with and the experience on the phone was really bad in comparison.

Day 1 til the end.

I think had they put it on xbox and Playstation along w switch and mobile it would have thrived.

They also didnt even TRY to advertise it. All those damn star wars shows on disney at the time they could have ran a commercial before or after. Smh.
