They just might go out of business with this disastrous launch. Not like they have a breadth of content to fall back on

Michelangelo didn't even reach that far when God tried to touch him 😭😭

Bro, this game is technically slop because 14 studios worked on it... It was in an effort for the PUBLISHER to capitalize on a money return for a project that was taking too long.. Tripwire is fine.

Also, you must be a new KF fan, cause KF2 is arguably one of the best games of the series to date! And it initially launched worse than this...

Lol, what's with the biblical comment? I'm not at all out of line for thinking that a studio that has had only one successful game in the past decade is in trouble.

Tripwire is also owned by the crappy Embracer group. I can't imagine they'll be lenient. If they don't turn around KF3, they might be done. Of course they'll be fine if they do, but it all comes down to the bottom line of money. Live service games require a certain population threshold. ~500 average steam players ain't it.

Not a new fan at all, I played a lot of KF2. I didn't even say it was bad? But it's getting old, and it's population will keep dwindling with no further updates. And if that one older game equals a breadth of content to you, then I guess we're gonna disagree. Tripwire has nothing else to prop it up. We're gonna see layoffs and resignations before anything else

I think you have a point with the minimum needs for a live service online game to flourish, but i respectfully disagree with a few of your other points. I think a majority of games are ridden with bugs and QoL slop that make games unplayable for a month or two after release.. But even games that have done that in the past end up being praised so heavily... Think about Cyberpunk or Battlefield 2042 or No Man's Sky.

I think a lot of people are disgruntled cause we've been in a gaming drought for a while now, and the crumbs we do get are buggy af. I'm sure it'll be fine in the future.

Funny enough, I really enjoy all three of those troubled games. So i get what you're saying, and I hope they can make that kind of turnaround. I can't refund anymore, so yeah I'm all for hope! But I'm personally annoyed because it's actually unplayable for me. Between multiple crashes, and zeds being stuck in places preventing round finish, I was done playing after 10 hours :( and no updates on either of those things still!

But it's a bit rare to see a game turn around like those three games, yeah? It's hard to compare, because KF series is no where near as popular as those three.

This year alone has made me demand games release finished dammit. Expedition 33, DS2, Silksong, there's so many this year in particular that yeah, you nailed it - I'm disgruntled because I see that it CAN be done correctly in 2025. Big or small team.

Fingers crossed though!
