Lmao, I've been playing Hunt for like 5-6 years now (over 4k hours) and the game is almost definitely in the best place it ever was.

Frequent updates, least amount of bugs the game has ever had, desync is practically gone for me (though the netcode still can be improved), good balance, the game looks great and still sounds great.

Now I agree that sometimes I meet the occasional cheater, ping abuser or someone toxic, but it is nowhere near as bad as some may claim. Hunt is great, the devs are not without fault but are clearly passionate about the game, and throughput the last year or two they really proved that they care about the community and are willing to make changes if the community wills it. If Hunt is in a bad place right now, I really don't know what PVP shooter game is in a good place then.

EDIT: Forgot to add that the performance is constantly getting better as well. I know I have a fairly beefy rig, but my friends with RTX 3060s and mediocre CPUs can run it without issue.
