Elder Scrolls Online developers at Zenimax Online Studios detail the "Inhumane" layoffs of the massive MMO studio.
Inhuman. I can’t believe how they would fire everybody without telling them what’s going on, just shutting off all their accounts and leaving them hanging.
My point is that saying games that have been going strong for over a decade “always ends up being a rugpull” is… it doesn’t make it look like you understand what a “rugpull” is.
I suppose, sorry. I meant your progress that was meant to last forever being dragged out from under you (server shutdown). I guess rugpull might be more for something like scams.
Online/live games having minimal support for EOL is very much a problem that most developers will agree with.
Accusing any online game of being a scam is an inherently combative stance that paints the developers/publisher as the enemy and means no discussion can happen.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
Yup. I REALLY hate those 11 year long scams. Hell, WoW is going at 21 years but it is gonna screw everyone over ANY! SECOND! NOW!
Also jesus fucking christ, WoW can drink.
Actually, some talented people have managed to make locally/community hosted WoW a thing, so at least you have that backup plan :)
No such luck for Destiny 1/2, how much time I spent there…
Yes.

Yes. Words have meaning.
