Which is why I will never buy this game. Ark survival was the last one I will ever play. Was a buggy mess and only reason I I played was because of friends. Didn't take the bait this time.

And the client is ass, and crashes constantly, and Wildcard is ass, because they keep hiring ass developers, or at least not hiring any good Unreal devs. Probably a bunch of nepotism within the company, because I've seen singular indie devs recreate games such as ARK within a months timespan, with it working better than Wildcard ever has.

It's not a complicated game, all it's gonna take is someone to replicate it well enough -- a skeleton team if that, and Wildcard is going to lose their shirt because they don't take shit seriously.

They literally have mod authors that managed to recreate most if not all of the content that was missing from their game - authors that don't get paid and did this shit in their FREE TIME.

Wildcard is a fucking joke.

I guess Jeremy is an AVGN fan.

Doesn't want to do anything because of "muh kids"?

I mean, sounds reasonable.

AAA gaming now refers to the number of things that are Ass.

Stopped playing a couple of days ago...don't care for it anymore. If it gets sold off to another company...I might come back to it.
