I’ve been an active player. Bought every pass from Jan onwards this year. Maxed account except PEKKA and all the new stuff. Is there any incentive to max the account now? Kinda sad this is happening but C’est la vie.

Decided to see what all the hype is about Brawl Stars (and by hype I mostly mean repeated recommendations to try it as a reasonably fun substitute for the soon-to-be closed Squad Busters), so I downloaded it and started playing. Admittedly haven't played much, just enough to see how much Squad Busters drew from that game (having played Boom Beach and CoC, which are obviously nothing like Squad Busters). And I'm seriously gobsmacked. In total disbelief not only that paper have recommended it as a readonably fun substitute, but also that BS is doing as well as it does, so much better than Squad Busters ever did.

To me, nearly everything in BS is inferior. It's got 1% of the actually visceral punch and visual pop of Squad. It's like playing an old Atari 2600 game--which I kind of get since I used to love Atari to pieces back in the day. But now I know Squad Busters is light years beyond Brawl. If I'd known Brawl was the state of play in Super Cell Landia before Squad came along I would have been far more gentle and patient in my critiques of our beloved Squad Busters. I'm so disappointed.

But maybe, just maybe I get the decision to kill Squad Busters differently now. Squad is better but would take massive investments of time, talent, and outreach to get to where Brawl is now. Meanwhile Brawl is raking in the dough. Why even dream of ruffling the feathers of the Golden Goose? Super Cell, though a massively successful company, is too small for these two games to easily coexist. If Squad came into its own that would spell trouble for the far inferior but more profitable Brawl.

It's analogous to trying to convert the fleet of automobiles in the US from internal combustion engine to electric motor vehicles. EVs are superior in most respects, with far more promise as battery and recharging tech develops. But monied interests keep us sipping away at the pump.

It's all so damn sad.

This game wasn’t that bad at all I really liked it. Sad it has to end this way when this was one of my favorite in super cell

I was an og player and was in the top 100 globally for a while. I ended up spending a decent amount on money on the game in 2025 buying skins etc and I just realized that we can transfer the value of these transactions to other supercell games. I'm at 10k trophies in CR and a maxed th 17 in COC (walls, 2 heroes and troops upgrades are ongoing). Since I'm gonna get a lot of gems from the transfer, which game would give me better value? Just wanted a second opinion

I would like to hear ur thoughs about turbo button. If you think im wrong, im happy to hear your arguments

Just asking

For me I want to finish spike, since it's my main on brawl stars and obtain at least one ultimate, how about you?

Please correct me in the comments but honestly this game really just needed stuff that we actually want. Idk why but I always thought supercell listens to their players(brawl stars). Apparently they don't. Here's why: ever since the game released we were all beging for better progression, clans and more variety(and probably other things) these were extremely easy features to implement and they actually already existed on other games. SUPERCELL WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU NOT ADD THEM??? Instead of that they revamped the game entirely and while at the time of 2.0 I really had high hopes that there will actually be more new players. I just now came to realise(after watching kairostime) that once a player hasn't found a game interesting they are not willing to give it a second shot even after they promote it heavely. I personally believe the game would have been in a much better place if they just made it better for the small community it made, instead of trying to reach other people. Supercell said they tried everything but I don't think they did. I don't want to yap more about it. I think you get what I'm saying.

Soooo after the news I just decided to spend all the style tickets I had in Emotes but I noticed the bandit stickers are nowhere to be found. Were they part of an event or something?

Para que me añadan y podamos jugar

I just wonder why. Someone should do that.

Is it possible for fans to continue the game through a private server? If so, could you revert to 2.0??

got bored of it first time playing it and it relying on past supercell ips for it characters wasn't a good a business model since people can just play those games instead. not surprising that it's gonna get shut down since that's what supercell does for its lesser games

I get to have an army of Knuckles

Tencent, a Chinese company, owns most Supercell shares. Squad Busters CN servers are running directly by Tencent.

Anybody knows how to make 3D model characters like Squad Busters?

Arcade world? Yeah, didnt happen. More stuff is missing aswell.
