People spend money on bless online then the game got closed and those people who put time, effort and spend money on got screwed?

Reminds me of paragon when epic decided to screw its players base and shutdown the game so they can focus on fortnite.

So I get it this is made by different devs now but what’s stopping them from repeating what happened with bless online and shutdown bless unleashed servers for good?

Guess its like a gamble and just hope they dont close it.

Think of BandaiNamco as a kind of watchdog. If you suspect Neowiz of actively screwing their community with shady practices, they can't just do whatever they want this time. Even the PC version is protected to a degree, because Neowiz signed an agreement to keep all 3 versions of the game identical. No MMORPG lasts forever. Spending money in one that doesn't last isn't as much the game's fault as it is a bad investment by the player. Fingers crossed Bless Unleashed survives its growing pains and lives up to its potential

I think what happened with bless online is, it was on steam either fully released or early release, and the game was supposed to be upgraded with a new engine, etc.. so people bought in; however, instead of revamping bless online as promised, it was scrapped and shut down and they started promoting bless unleashed, so it felt to some like their money and investment into bless online was taken and then used to develop bless unleashed which they promoted as a totally new game. I could be wrong but I believe that’s how it all went down more or less.

I totally get that. Neowiz made some shady choices for sure. In the end it's like when you support a politician who doesn't keep campaign promises. People took a risk and lost. I think Neowiz lost out big on Bless Online as well, or they wouldn't have had to ask Bamco to publish this one. Now someone is involved who will hold them accountable

The perfect video response to every hater that exists for this game and bless online. Thank you for making this. Was getting real tired of all the bitching I kept hearing about this game going into it and I'm over here having a blast despite it all. Stop pretending this is the same game people and wake the hell up!

I even agree with you at the end about how they should have made clear cut dps classes in the game to really get it in peoples heads that this is a mmo without the holy trinity system. My new favorite Bless content creator for sure!

Thanks very much :)
