@veronik5682 said in Mike Chapman just confirmed this game will go beyond it's original ''10 year plan'':
@wolfmanbush
Yes, SoT has that hardcore fanbase which is probably enough to merit the games survival past the 10 years. Which is why those ''SoT dead'' comments are so surfaced level thoughts.
Valid criticisms and concerns often turn into over the top exaggerations and just flat out engagement farming.
It's always fair to criticize the condition of the game, but all of the "game in trouble" "game dying" was heavily pushed by content creators that were over hyping content and then gloom and doom farming the second half of seasons and/or delays, bugs, cheating, etc.
This game has had incredibly concerning months as far as the organic experience goes, performance, cheesing the game, etc.
but none of that engagement farming was ever good takes on the overall health of the business.
People take a lot of their outside frustrations out on Rare and SoT. People burning out turn it into a big ole negative thing, people that start to struggle with their content or channels or whatever turn it all around on SoT and the game. Been going on for years.
A lot of the feedback regs are tied in to content creation, so all of that drama gets turned into something much bigger in the social spaces than it really is.
People engagement farm a "retirement" over issues and coming out of retirement in the same week, sometimes the same day. A lot of what happens in SoT is that people get attention here by making a stink about something in an exaggerated way.
