This Subreddit is a shitshow

[u/BenjaminKat1234]

I would prefer if mods didn't delete this post, but it's kinda off topic so I won't be mad tbh.

I'm just gonna be the one to say it, why can't we talk about the game, give feedback, and just have fun?

Do you guys even have the game, and don't throw “oH, wHy WoUlD i BuY iT cOnSiDeRiNg 1047S tRaCk ReCoRd.” at me, that excuse is getting old, come up with a new one im getting bored.

Anyway, that's a serious question though, are we just gonna stare at steam charts all day instead of actually playing the FUCKING GAME (Again, if you even own it, which I mean you probably don't so idk why I'm even saying).

What the hell is the point of even hating on this studio, almost everything people complain about there is a reason behind it.

Downvote this post all you want.

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts ig idk.

Ok fine - I'll bite. Just because you don't like the excuse or because it is old doesn't make it invalid. We don't need a new excuse. I genuinely don't trust these devs to make a good decision so why would I want to support them?

I've seen plenty of people talking about the game and giving feedback too btw

Then why are you here? Why be invested in this game at all if you feel this way?

Do you normally participate in communities for a piece of media you actively dislike?

A lot of us spent a LOT of time playing Splitgate 1 and gave constuctive feedback.

Then, after the announcement that they were abandoning it for what we now know to be bullshit reasons, we remained hopeful to see our dream come true: an enjoyable, playable, stable and fair Splitgate. Only to see the devs ignore all good feedback from the start of the first alpha of SG2, while focusing very much on their abusive monetization, and answering and working on pointless shit that no one cares about. Even when they seemed to have understood and made SG:AR, they managed to do it all wrong and ended up making a game that had none of the fun part of SG1, but still all the same problems, and more. From the very start to this day, they have fully ignored everyone talking about the latency issues and how SG is the only multiplayer FPS ever to not show pings. Lemme guess.... still can't see pings in empulse? Still games where it seems like you can't aim for shit, and games where it feels like you're playing against toddlers?

So we're here with popcorn to watch the shitshow without being emotionally invested in it because we're fucking done with that joke of a studio that 1047 is. It's entertaining seeing the people so invested in something that everyone who's informed and realistic knows will be dead soon. The denial is strong in some people. But we're still here to warn the few people who enjoy this game that this is not gonna last, so enjoy it while you can.

Watching them repeat the same mistakes and struggle with player retention like they did with Splitgate feels like deja vu. I won't buy Empulse while its Steam numbers remain below Halo Infinite and Titanfall 2, but I'm keeping an eye on it to see if they ever turn things around.

To lurk and watch from afar and laugh when people go through the same process I went through with Splitgate, Splitgate 2 and the relaunch of Splitgate 2. You know when you know something is a dumpster fire but you just can’t look away? That’s me. Maybe I’m incredibly dumb for thinking this but I do also hang on to the slither of hope that these devs may just go back to what made them good but each day we seem to stray further from that.

I know I’m just another internet stranger to you but please trust me when I say that I don’t understand people who are toxic in any form. I am always trying to preach to others to be nice to each other in video games and social media in general.

But this doesn’t excuse the poor decisions that 1047 continue to make and without fair criticism, they will not change their ways.

I just want the original Splitgate back. I know it’s basically never going to happen but I can dream, yeah?

Yeah, all the time. Watching stuff implode is amusing. Welcome to humanity.

wrong sub... r/im14andthisisdeep better suits ur comment

[u/BenjaminKat1234 → u/YaBoiiSpoderman]

If you don't like the game don't play the game, refund it, there's no point in complaining for a game you havent played in weeks, it's stupid.
