Comment on Elder Scrolls Online devs detail “inhumane” Microsoft layoffs as Xbox expects the “carcass of workers” to “keep shipping award-winning games”

  Actually, some talented people have managed to make locally/community hosted WoW a thing, so at least you have that backup plan :)

    Yes.

    My point is that saying games that have been going strong for over a decade “always ends up being a rugpull” is… it doesn’t make it look like you understand what a “rugpull” is.

      I suppose, sorry. I meant your progress that was meant to last forever being dragged out from under you (server shutdown). I guess rugpull might be more for something like scams.

        Yes. Words have meaning.

        Online/live games having minimal support for EOL is very much a problem that most developers will agree with.

        Accusing any online game of being a scam is an inherently combative stance that paints the developers/publisher as the enemy and means no discussion can happen.
