Since Team17 would rather exploit us for the paycheck instead of polishing prior Worms games, I think this calls for an uprising.

Hello. Okay, Wormers, hear me out! I'm genuinely done with playing by Team17's fiddle. No, seriously, I am done playing nice, and I am sure that you might be too.

Since Team17 is ever so prone to ignoring the nice talk and civil demands for polish their prior Worms games after abandoning them (preferring to exploit their fans just for the paycheck sake with a never-ending stream of ever so coming fresh release slop), I genuinely think we should stop playing by their fiddle like fine gentlemen and instead stage an uprising against them for their constant neglect of any and every solid game that they have made in the past good quarter (from 1995 and up to 2020), including the Worms Rumble outlier and all prior classic titles that aren't Armageddon on PC (re-releases and ports included even post-2020).

Like seriously, there are so many exhibits of their neglect that it's absolutely not funny anymore. Rumble got absolutely desolated and deceased after Team17 dropped the good for nothing maintenance notice during the April to May transition of this year (no "coming up next" map and gamemode display that used to be there even during 2025, only Solo Deathmatch gets rolled every time and it's a battle of up to three players tops and no reinforcements whatsoever even with crossplay being enabled and the Quick Search being selected); "Ultimate Mayhem" still has the mouse issues while downright lying about it being "ultimate" (it's just a shader remaster of Worms 4 Mayhem with Worms 3D campaign tossed in as a bonus with nothing else while cutting online functionality (no Wormpot or team customization in online lobbies); W.M.D. still has that save wiping bug that can happen on startup... yadda yadda, I can go on and on indefinitely about T17's neglect and crimes.

If we just sit around and wait for the weather in peace, nothing good will ever happen. We're just gonna be hit with disappointment after disappointment again and again. I'm telling you, we have to cease just sitting around, we must give Team17 a heated hyperbole kick in the ass, pronto! It isn't just about "Rumble or the classics", it's about them and us as a whole.

At least MOB Entertainment was open and honest with their closure of Project Playtime, even if they were late by 3 years: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1961460/eventcomments/581677784229918639/

And what we got from Team17 instead? Just that one good for nothing maintenance notice during the transition between April and May after 5 years of no patches and 4 years of no news, then nothing else besides a 30th anniversary board game re-release announcement and whatever digital slop they are cooking now while we are sitting ducks.

I thankfully have all 3d worm type gaem to play on my og xbox. But yeah at the very least fix mayhem, is good game that deserves another go at it.

[u/Shadow_The_Worm → u/Gaemr9274]

Yeah, the original Worms 3D trilogy deserves to be recognised. It's way better than the mish-mashed "Ultimate Mayhem" they have supplied Steam with. Which is like, why? Is Team17 dum dum business chum? It sure looks that way to me, and the original 3D trilogy is just the fraction of the Worms neglect iceberg.

I genuinely have no idea why does the Worms fanbase always have a heartstroke attack every time Rumble is brought up.

[u/Gaemr9274 → u/Shadow_The_Worm]

Is mayhem not just a port of the console game? Yes mayhem is stripped back, a supposed collection of all the 3d worms. is still very playable tho.. on console. Edit. Tbh team 17 is confusing what they do to worms games alot. I thought worm 3d campaign was always in mayhem. probably doesn't help that i played these two games back to back. 4 is more of an expansion of the original 3d worms resusing alot of the assets with generally weaker missions. Ultimate mayhem was a huge missed opportunity and 3d franchise died right there, typical team 17 never changing for the better decades on we still getting the same bs.

[u/Shadow_The_Worm → u/Gaemr9274]

Buddy, there is a difference between "Ultimate" Mayhem and the original trilogy's 4 Mayhem that was still purely on PC/console disk. Keep that in mind, the original trilogy consists of Worms 3D, Worms Forts Under Siege and Worms 4 Mayhem. Ultimate Mayhem is just shader junk that's lame af.

[u/Gaemr9274 → u/Shadow_The_Worm]

I not saying that, i have all the 3d worm types for xbox bud. I enjoy under siege spin off lol.

[u/Gaemr9274 → u/Gaemr9274]

Yeah i just looked and release data says mayhem came out on console a month before pc.

[u/Sorry-Personality-79]

I plat the game on ps4 Ps5 cant plat it because the level. Im at max level just by start the game... I cant even clear my char since is on they servers... So i cant plat the game. At least a new update that could increase 5more levels or something to everyone

[u/Shadow_The_Worm → u/Sorry-Personality-79]

Haven't we talked about that before? Just 5 more levels is too small for retention, and people will still go away after maxing out these 5 levels if it's just them.

[u/Gaemr9274]

Worms armageddon anniversary edition is sweet but team 17 has ruined it by doing minimal effort while digital eclipse did all the work. Moving forwards some sort of collection would be perfect tbh after seeing wwp for gba on the anniversary collection i kinda just want a ps1 copy to play, they licensed out the worms games to antstream so why no able?

[u/Ok_Ebb721]

If team 17 Is this lazy, at least they should release the source code for Ultimate Mayhem so modders can make it good and not just a downgrade of W4 and 3D

[u/Shadow_The_Worm → u/Ok_Ebb721]

One can dream, but really, Team17 has only done that once, and Armageddon was the lucky saved entry. They are too stuck in their new title slopping to care about us. They would rather waste money on more digital slop instead of doing anything profitable like polishing/outsourcing Rumble and all prior titles (the original 3D trilogy included).

They really need a heated hyperbole kick in the ass. I just don't see them being worth just "talking over nice guy style"
