Dauntless was F2P if I remember correctly
I think you know what they meant.
Damn, another one down. I thought it was a perfectly adequate Monster Hunter competitor, but I guess people looking for that are fully satisfied by Monster Hunter
Even if it was perfectly adequate, the game may have been doomed anyway. Such is live service.
completely expected after the awakening debacle. games don't last forever
Not when they're built this way, no.

Damn this sucks. This game was pretty decent in the beginning. I had fun leveling couple different weapons. I bailed when they reworked the progression system to be more confusing and less rewarding. I've been meaning to check it out for nostalgia sake even though recent rework got a horrific reviews and now I don't even have to bother. RIP
They "rebooted" it by wiping everyone's progress and then making paid transactions the way to progress. It was doomed from the rework.
What?
Crypto-bros killed it. Literally one of their executives just up and dis-a-fucking-ppeared.
While I personally wasn’t a fan of Dauntless, I respected it and I’m sad to see it go. I’m a huge Monster Hunter fan but understand the importance of competition and how it benefits gamers.
Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it's still sad to see.
