Instead of issuing refunds on any purchased in game currency, Zynga informs players should quickly spend it in game before the game shuts down lmao

Bring back greenlite and this story could have been avoided completely. No one wants an F2P shooter anymore. They suck. They're never good. Season passes sick. Buying skins is bullshit. I hope we can get to the point where games like call of duty get cancelled before releasing.

Greenlight was almost universally hated by devs. It could be easily gamed by abusing your popularity or by simply using bots. It prevented actual indie devs from ever releasing finished games while a lot of greenlit games didn't even release.

ah. but also just letting anyone make anything is letting bots make scam games

Maybe don't launch live service shooters? They are a dime a dozen.
