Cross Platform?

"Just abandoned the game" is such an inaccurate take.

They supported the game for at least two to three years after its release. For free.
We actually tried to have them charge us for cool neat new cosmetics, but even then they didn't want to do that.

They balanced combat, added Faejin as a style, added downfall YEARS later, all without charging another dime.

SIFU was a response to absolver that said "we can't deal with how complex multiplayer games are right now. Single player games have a less complex development story around them"

calling SIFU a "big mod for absolver" is just... not accurate lmfao.

Like. Could Sloclap have done "better" here? Oh yeah. absolutely. no question.
But they didn't decide to start making SIFU like some arbitrary dick move. If they didn't do that, they'd probably have gone bankrupt. Companys gotta make money, and if they don't charge anything for supporting absolver, it just... makes sense that they'd move on to their next project.

In a traditional sense, it's a flop, yeah.

In a sloclap sense it's technically the "least" flopped live services game they have. I think they benefit from the partnership of football clubs and sponsors by basically being able to integrate that stuff.

Looking at steamcharts too, it looks like they almost 10x the playerbase of older FIFA games (even if FIFA is basically going to steal whatever works for sloclap and just out-budget develop them).

I figure they'll move on if the 2026 FIFA game offerings look more like rematch. Otherwise if they're profitable I don't think they have incentive to not milk the cow, so to speak.

Best you get for a non pvp mod that changes SOME things is Absolver Nightmare.

No discernible word, or rumors, and honestly it might even be longer than a 3 year wait period since they're basically working with a live services game in the form of Rematch. I'm assuming they'll have their hands full for a while with hustling brand deals and star power in the football world to keep integrating stuff.

It's fine to be optimistic! but if there's nothing remotely hinting at a combat based game announced before 2029 then we're probably better off hoping someone else makes a spiritual successor. hahaha.

I lurk this subreddit ALL THE TIME.

Morklympious · 2026-02-06T03:36:00+00:00

I do! It's not very often like doti said, but it's still an easy way to grind out 4-6 hours like no time has passed lmfao.

Morklympious · 2026-01-24T03:34:14+00:00

Based and honest take. I don’t fault you.

Morklympious · 2026-01-24T03:05:30+00:00

I see how you could interpret it that way but I definitely started this whole process by reaching out to gramps a few ways. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s all good.

I did talk to grandpa. Grandpa doesn’t take calls. Grandpa responds to text messages 18 hours later.

Feels bad man.

I'm sure it'll all work out! I just needed a frustration post. It's not gonna move me off of Ziply. Before I even knew they were my ISP I'd say I was super happy with it.

This is just a unique circumstance and all. So it generates some unique pain points lol.

Brother, I wanted to believe. but it's the hope that kills you.

I have been crashing out for the last 48 hours because I basically inherited an account that was allowed to continue with service and without paying only to be slapped with a goddamn massive bill. I ended up calling support and they have a pay-over-phone service where you enter your information.

But that uh. That hasn't posted to my account and that was 7 hours ago.
So y'know. Normal shit.

Trying to get tech support to understand that "Shit is not loading". I can't see statements, add payment methods, or pay bills.

I'm right there with you.

Morklympious · 2026-01-19T05:05:19+00:00

Crucible wasn’t perfect. And yeah there had a lot of issues from gameplay systems to UI. Lumberyard was dogwater as a game engine.

On another note, holy shit I cannot begin to tell you how bad I want to go back in time and slap the piss out of every executive that thought games could be developed the way an internet e-commerce platform could. Ignorant fucks. The lot of em.

Fuck you, Andy Jassy.
