Well, I think we all saw this coming at some point...
Lack of updated content for extended periods of time, lack of posts about future updates, cash grab maneuvers, etc.
But what was it all for?
The base game had so much promise, but fell very short after 2 additional title releases.
I like many others had much hope for this game (series), but we were let down by stupid development choices...
What was the point of even creating Xenominer in the first place is a huge question I have.
I figured the game wouldn't outsell, or beat Starmade on the PC, but it was a space version of MC we had on the Xbox, with a lot more to do than MC.
The original Xenominer game had so much going for it, and the fans were giving quite a bit of ideas and feedback back to the studio, yet we hardly saw any of that, untill...
Downgate Deathmatch, and Xenominer Swarm...
Just what in the hell are these "Spawns"?
Well one is kind of just like a deathmatch game similar to Quake... and the other is basically base defense with mining involved...
Plus they both come with Animated avatars!
Something fans wanted in the base game for a long time, how bout that shiet...!?
I had much desire to continue playing Xenominer, and had no problem buying the other games for some few extra items and starting gear...
But you completely locked out Biomes and extra content!?
Excuse me, but when did EA/Activision get here?
I thought this was an indie game! (minus Dark Reign...).
I am sorry but your decisions have basically just effectively killed your own game, and I wish that wasn't so.
I don't want to sound like I am just completely hating the game, because I really do want it to do well.
I loved the idea of Xenominer, and Downgate and Swarm produced gleams of hope in my eyes, and were quickly crushed by poor decisions.
Just give us the biomes and stuff for free, but make special gear blocks and enemies inaccessible unless we by the other games.
Promote your own games, not destroy them.
I hope you stayed till the end, I love Xenominer, and it's quite fun, but it needs much work, and two separate games really didn't need to be made honestly.
Enjoy your day.
