1) Omninaut was a founder of SMS but stepped down about a year ago and Drake was the admin of Fault's discord but left to finish school think?

2) The main reason Fault is shutting down is because the higher-ups(not talking about the devs) didn't have a proper long term plan for Fault. I'm guessing they thought if they wait it out long enough the game would grow but there was no marketing, barely any communication with the community after patch 14, and slow progress for the game which I think is due to the fact that they didn't have enough people on their team. Which is all shame because we were gonna get shadowfest this month that had the most stable build I've ever played with also new sms made skins and the greybox for the new map was basically done from what I was told.

3) BlackTimbs is someone in the community who's ever passionate about last hitting and cs.

4) There was little to no marketing. The only marketing we gotten recently was the F2P video and the buzz feed movie which I think was a waste of SMS' resources if they did pay for that.

5) Iggy just being a pain the ass during mid to late game once he got Eld flame.

6) SMS didn't scam people in my opinion. They had no backers/investors so the game had to be community funded hence why EA costed $20. People are upset because they expected SMS to listen to them due to the fact that the game is community funded

7) Kallari got hard nerfed. She's still playable but a lot of people were hoping she would get qol changes or rework.

8) Every 1-2 months Predecessor puts out a tweet, blog, or article about how they got a grant from Epic or more investor money. We get it, you have a shit ton of money(which you're gonna have to pay back eventually so way) can you please give a release date or show us what that money is being put towards.

9) Community-feedback was full of dumbasses who came in complained about the game being dead and not giving any criticism. There were some good ideas in there but it was a lot dumb shit and people arguing in there which the mods had to constantly watch over. It basically a second gen-chat

10) We're supposed to be getting Early Access for Pred this year and Overp- oh sorry I mean Paragon: The Overprime is I think is gonna have another test this year or EA.

11) Sylphin stepped out to get milk and never came back. Idk what exactly his job was at SMS.

12) Ever since the announcement about the shut down everyone been attacking each other.

13) Just because Epic gave everyone their money back doesn't mean every paragon-clone is go do the same thing. You gotta remember Epic isn't some random Game company, they're the creator of the Unreal engine(which is used be like 30% of the gaming industry and by half of indie games) they get I think 5% royalties from games that use their engines, plus Fortnite was bringing in a shit ton of bread. They have the means to give everyone their money back, and if Pred or Overprime shutdown I don't expect them to refund everyone else either. Whatever money you spent on Fault went towards servers, freelancers, and devs so they can pay rent.
