[2020] The Game DOES have a Rapidly Dwindling Lifespan.

*My purpose of writing this is to give those that are tired of the state of this game be heard, without getting attacked by white knights and reddit plants*

In the few weeks I've been in this sub, I've gone from white knight with lofty ambitions that this game will take off and become a hit/cult classic, to wanting (and getting rejected) a refund and being the joke of my GC for convincing them to purchase this game, to absolutely hating it and every fiber of its existence; to just not caring about it and having pinch of salt hopes of it coming back. (I mostly stay in this sub for this entertainment factor its comical reading at work).

I did however try to give it a go today. Honestly. Plugged in my Xbox right into my router and did 5 casual games.....

Consistently 250 ping (my phone averages 100mbps and I was the only device connected).

Lag spikes and hit reg problems like I was trying to play with a N64 (I abhorrently doubt they did a shred of "fixing" at all)

My roommate who doesn't play video games at all but likes to watch me walked by and said "Yo the CoD servers are BUSTED today bro what type of 25 frames are you getting" He broke into a fit of laughter when I said this was a game I paid for.

I see a lot of the defenders of this game cite plenty other games that were bad shape in their infancy, how the developers are victims of the production studio, and how there needs to be patience and a new player base.

That's swell and all, but lets be real here: the problem of other games at infancy were either due to lack of knowledge of what was then Next Gen technology, or bugs and glitches that were a pain but not particularly game breaking. Breakout does not have any of those defenses, this is now very current/soon to be old gen, and for a TACTICAL SHOOTER you can not have it possible for it to be a constant occurrence of your shot just not hitting. My.games literary have a port of this game that has been in play for years. If Roblox can seamlessly transcend to console platforms, it can't be impossible to not botch this entirely. This is a studio that has been shady for many years (please for the love of God explain to me how they have a social media campaign STILL running on all websites at original price regardless of it's problems. You can not tell a consumer "HEY BUT THIS GAME BUT DON'T PLAY IT UNTIL SEPTEMBER), we must be very apprehensive of any "Road Map" they claim. (LIES)

The point of my post is that with Next Gen upon us, there is very little time for them to get it together. They got their clout from the quarterly reports of booming profits during a pandemic. With the oppurtunites still to come it would be stupid for them to keep dumping resource into this (and for all they have to say about next gen and current gen being able to stay relevant together - I don't believe it for a second) they will soon end support for this. The potential new player base they can draft is going away by the week, no one would buy a crappy Xbox One/PS4 game if there is a better option (and there are several better options now and in the future). A next gen port of this game?

Maybe if they pay us $20 to play it.
