Damn. Picked it up yesterday, really enjoying it. Didn't even realise Netease were involved with it until I first booted it up and their logo popped up.

Time to sail the seas with this one.

How awful. What should have been a moment of celebration for the dev team, turned into an terrible day for them.

"The game that you spent years of your life on is finally out for people to enjoy! ALSO YOU'RE ALL FIRED!"

F you NetEase. I'll only remember your company name so that I can avoid it in the future. Hopefully S-E hires the these talented people and gives them more games to work on.

NetEase sucks a** with no doubt.

Lame. I just bought the game but have it held at the post office since I’m out of town.

Why not let the game have a chance in the wild before shutting them down.

Well fuck you too, NetEase.

Snookies12279d ago

Wow... Okay... I'm going to go out of my way in trying to avoid purchasing any NetEase game from this point on. It's one thing to shut them down if the game failed on sales. But this hasn't even had a chance to sell yet.

Old McGroin279d ago

Definitely. What if a Netease game is released that needs a few patches to get it up to scratch but there's nobody to do it because they shut down the developer? Best to just avoid.

exactly the reason I'm never gonna play Marvel RIvals, they did some of the most shady shit with that game.

Great for Marvel Tokon Fighting
Souls (which looked amazing).

It can also be used wired which is fairly important to note. Anybody using this thing competitively won't go anywhere near wireless.
