The developers of this game are peak grifters, scammed millions with this product. The best advice and the most honest thing I can ask you reader is to not give to these grifters artist any money, but also you'll be buying an absolute abandoned game (more of this below). The devs/mods totally abandoned the game after the money rug-pull (more of this below as well). By the way, all of the devs are full blown soyjack-tier weaklings social justice warriors from Reddit, I'm not making this up, their behavior is exactly this way (more of this below), but they also look like in the meme.
What happened to this game is the perfect example of early access scams: Release a barebones game, then give free copies and incentives to streamers and youtubers to build hype and lure victims into the scam. Then they pretended to be active developing the game the first two months releasing absurdly tiny updates to buy some time until they can collect the profits from their sales, while at the same time, more victims keep coming, buying and falling into the scam for the time being. Then when finally reached the date to legally cash out all their profits, they did a massive rug-pull crypto fashion and totally dissapeared. They stopped posting updates on steam, also stopped all communication on steam as well, went to one of their sketchy discord servers were they basically act like absolute dictators banning anyone daring to mention all this. They pretended to be active there to keep feeding lies and hopes to the rest of the volunteers that they got around working as slaves totally for free moderating what's left of the game or the community, as damage controllers.
Okicoki as well, one of the main developers did a crusade around youtube taking down many videos from many youtubers denouncing the rampant cheating in the game. Those videos were about the anticheat not working, cheaters bypassing the anticheat with ease (more of this below), public denounce of the moderators abuse but specially the public denounce to expose the false "development" calling it what truly was, a scam. Sgt Okicoki, the main developer, which is an absolute liar and a massive despot, went around youtube exploiting the report-flag system to take down many videos claiming "copyright infringement", all this was a way of damage control to censor public denounce and to keep control of the narrative before the whole scam blew up over everyone's faces.
Game right now and back then in its peak got these massive issues:
- Rampant and unstoppable Cheating problem since its release, the anticheat does not work (literaly you can close the anticheat in your OS task-manager once you launch the game).
- The game went from more than 100.000 users online to now being barely 600 around. All the servers died, many regions no longer host solid servers or player base anymore like AUS/ASIA/South America.
- No updates in a year.
- The game moderators are social justice warriors, mostly furries (I'm not making this up is real) and lots of LGHDTV+ cultists as well, (the same ones around their sketchy discord echo chamber server). All of them went full rampant banning thousands of players for the most innocuous things during the first 2/3 weeks after the launch, this damaged the game irreversibly, people stopped using in-voice game chat and text-chatting completely due fears of getting banned for basically any word or comment (which in most majority of cases was always completely taken out of context).
- Almost no servers left, totally flatline dead community online, and the few matches around are infested with cheaters since the anticheat does not work, but specially now that the devs dissapeared and moderators are no longer monitoring the reports.
To summarize:
Avoid this product like the plague, and if you see these developers in the future anywhere else, finger point them and denounce their practices for everyone to see.
Get your money elsewhere and give it to any other honest developer with good faith working hard to deliver good products instead.
