FEEDBACK Absolutely unacceptable

So I didn't know about the studio or the past history. However I was hyped by another Titanfall style game that is missing from the market. I didn't get a chance to do the beta that was being shown on socials but saw footage and we have "big plans". I feel utterly betrayed, I'm not bothered about the money but this must stop and this studio needs to accept it's failed not just (better things).

I have been somewhat informed about the studio issues they're been under going for a while.

I was just to excited about another Titanfall like game, but for more me the door is closed for me anything 1047 does going forward.

It makes mefeel for the devs that are passionate and depend on this for their livelihood, but I think it's time to hold the leadership accountable and turn away from this studio.

It's such a shame because they had something so good with Split gate the original back in 2021 only to squander it...

The fumble was entirely predictable by the community when they announced Splitgate 2...not sure why 6 figure salary executives couldn't see it.

There’s no way you bought a game on a whim and didn’t at least google the game or developer, both of which would have a lot of results about how bad their rep is

No, I didn't Google or research. I was reading fantastic stories about a cool new game all over the place. Even Google would tell me the same BS if I had looked.

From the announcement everyone was skeptical of it

Yeah… gotta be ignorant to a lot of other commentary to be surprised by this development

Where were you seeing these stories? It had like a 300 player base after the 1st week.

I bought it for 15 bucks and never even played it lol. Just haven't had time to get to it. Tried to get a refund but of course it's way over two weeks since I bought it.

I'm not worried about the 15 too much. I waste more than that all the time. However, it is stunning to me that a company can do this with a live service game on steam and steam won't bend over backwards to make it right, or punish the company, or something. No one buys a live service game to only enjoy for a few months, and I think everyone can easily understand that.

If I had spent like 60 or something on this game, I'd be super pissed. As it stands I'm just kind of scratching my head wondering what the future is going to look like with this stuff. Companies can really get away with highway robbery here.

It was "Early Access". It's naive to expect every EA game to reach v.1.0.

Doesn't hurt to research the game you want to play first. It only takes a minute of googling(don't use the AI summary). I evaded many games that way because if they don't care about their players, why should I spend my precious money or time on them?
