it's been a pleasure, everyone.

WG:

poi~?

i think a firing range increase and a turret rotation buff should do her nicely.

i'm starting to get a gag reflex when i see that word. lol

the forum itself is insanely cheap compared to revenue streams, even for multiple forums. the only real cost is from the people they're paying to run it. supposedly those people were moved to discord and so on, but it wouldn't surprise me if WG brings down the axe on (some of) them regardless of whether they need cost savings. that's just WG's style.

i've never seen "remove source of income" in a business strategy. it's a bold move, cotton. we'll see if it works out for them.

it's also users from all servers, not just NA

agree to disagree. not about attempted burying of mistakes, but the result. this is going to have a very negative impact on their image, imo. especially if they follow through with pulling the forum off the web completely.

as much as i hate to admit it, they did actually seem to care the first couple years of the game's existence. the community and WG all seemed to be on the same page and happy. then WG started getting (exceedingly) greedy, causing a rift. then as players started leaving, WG instead of going back to what was working, started trying to supplement with data and spreadsheets and TrEnDs. and now we're here.

i'm still not seeing a reason they can't have both a forum and a discord. discord has a purpose in a game community. that purpose is not a forum replacement.
