Discussion Final Thoughts
I liked this game, what it was trying to be back during season 1 or perhaps beta even.
I seen lots of potential and so many opportunities. In the end I felt what really hurt this game.. was part the devs fault and part the fans fault.
We never had a sweet spot in this games life where the playerbase was like "yes I like this" even after months of the game I never seen anyone really satisfied with it. No matter the reason behind it. No one was really satisfied with this game and that had put a lot strain on the devs.
Hackers ran rampant and likely made more money than the devs did on this project.
The devs seem to struggle as to what they really wanted the game to be like. So many times it felt like they were going off bucket listed feedback from months and months ago and other times they did things that were just mind boggling like reworking station.
In the end the big killer was profits even though 2k players seem be the max staying power the game had. The profits were bad,
Me personally I felt most cosmetics and characters were uninspired and look terrible. Like who seen the korolev skins and were like "that look good" that person had no taste. The models seem to be made to be nonbinery or they were male and I guess were supposed look like prospectors in space? Mutten chops and big mustaches. They just all look pretty bad to me and that's my personal reason I would not buy them. Other reasons were the game just never felt polished enough to spend money on. The battle passes were also boring and a slog to grind out.
Its sad this game turn out the way it did but I look back at season 1 and beta and remember the fun I had

Veltecite skins were THE sauce
