The drop obvisouly happened on the release date ?
I did play it, before the official release, and it was fun, chill experience, no BP, like old times.

What happened since ? 🤔


La baisse est évidemment arrivée à la date de sortie ? J’y ai joué, avant la sortie officielle, et c’était une expérience amusante et décontractée, sans BP, comme “avant”.

Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé depuis ? 🤔

    1600 daily peak isn’t massive but it’s still very much playable. You’ll have a dozen full servers to play in.

    Nothing really happened to Battlebit, but this is what happens when you have a live service game without a huge budget. Slow updates kills a playerbase, and eventually people lose interest. It becomes nigh impossible to gain new users without an ad campaign with I don’t think they have a budget for.

    Edit: They also apparently didn’t update the game since February. That’ll do it.

      In the communities I’ve seen, people wail in despair over the update that never was and desperately (satirically?) try to convince each other that the update will one day come. It’s funny to see as an outsider, but it hurts as someone who used to love the game.

    The last update to the game destroyed the usability of its positional audio among other things. The developers have remained silent on all channels beside their Discord about future game updates or content. The game hasn’t been updated for about a year now.

    Additionally, ome people have complained about getting banned from the in-game chat for allegedly “no reason”. No idea if even half of these people are being truthful or were actually banned for things like saying racial slurs.

      its positional audio

      That’s a valid argument,
      For the second part, i tend to no trust arguments with “no reason” too,
      There is one, good or no, there is one,
