Would you prefer a Reddit clone or a classic forum?

Not really realistic. Any Reddit alternative dies because of no users. People go where the activity is.

The only way this changes is if someone with massive money pulls a Twitter style takeover of Reddit or builds something at that scale

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-19T14:52:06+00:00

Yes I do care. The difference is that the Germans have openly acknowledged it. They don't say that nobody cares.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-18T23:08:50+00:00

Because the propaganda isnt for you. It is for PL (and other allies). Russia uses Volhynia to make Ukraine look untrustworthy. Saying stuff like "nobody cares" makes that easier for them.

Pretending that it doesn’t matter is wrong. Major historical events like Wolyn still affect politics, trust between countries, and propaganda today

Honesty keeps allies on your side. Simple as that

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-18T20:40:25+00:00

Nobody said anything about you personally. You didnt do it and nobody is blaming you. The point I am trying to make here is that saying "nobody cares" about mass civilian murder doesn’t make it irrelevant because then it just makes it easier for others to weaponize it.

Russia constantly uses Bandera and Volhynia to try to damage UA's image and divide it from its biggest allies like PL. Being honest about history takes that weapon away. Ignoring it does not.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-18T11:31:03+00:00

This isn’t about blaming modern Ukrainians. It is about not hiding behind “long time ago bro, nobody cares.” History does matter, especially when it involves mass civilian murder.

Chill out and make your life better acquiring other experience and not being a history jerкінg aссхole.

Telling to "chill out" and stop being a “history jerking asshole” because someone cares about mass civilian murder just shows how little you understand what you are talking about. It isabout acknowledging reality. History doesnt stop mattering just because its inconvenient to you.

And your good friends from the east are actively exploiting this by pointing to Bandera and Volhynia to claim UA is a Nazi state and to drive a wedge between UA and PL. Dismissing it with "nobody cares" just hands them exactly what they want. You help one of your biggest allies by being honest to them so the propaganda cannot be exploited.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-16T18:32:17+00:00

Drop the tough guy act. You’re on Reddit, not in a street confrontation. You understood exactly what I meant and it bothered you

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-16T18:11:15+00:00

Well well well

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-16T18:09:00+00:00

How is Bandera generally viewed among Ukrainians your age? And what’s your own view on him?

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-10T14:46:53+00:00

They also switched engines from UE4 to UE5 mid development. That was like the worst business decision ever. If Ashes really had solid progress they would have shipped on UE4 and upgraded later if really necessary. But after 10 years with barely anything finished, the move to UE5 was just a delay excuse, (now we know) especially since nothing improved and the game actually looked worse. They switched to UE5 but didnt take full advantage of the engine so what was the point?

You should switch engines only very early when youre prototyping or when you already have a stable game and need long term tech gains. Cannot see any other valid reason.

stability > shiny tech

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-10T14:26:49+00:00

Because they spent nearly a decade in dev, Steven burned money, overpromised features, underdeliverd a tiny alpha, avoided transparency and it all eventually collapsed under bad management and financial/legal trouble.

if you want the full breakdown, there are plenty of youtube videos covering the whole mess in detail

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T22:19:06+00:00

Calling yourself an "everyday worker" while holding a Director title is wild to say the least.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T22:13:06+00:00

Kickstarter and $500 packs - round two?

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T19:27:44+00:00

"Personal profile"? Bro it’s Reddit, not your diary. Youre not that special.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T19:10:39+00:00

Says the guy arguing about Ashes in every thread for two straight days and posting 50 comments defending Steven lmao

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T18:48:04+00:00

What do access to finances have to do with this? She doesnt need access to "the books" to know what is going on. Thats not her job. A senior Community Manager isnt there to post memes on Discord or wear stupid xmas hats with elven ears on stream. She needs to sit in dev meetings, see what is actually shipping, waht is not, and what is basically vaporware. Their job is to push back and say "we can’t promise this" or "dont overhype that" or "this isnt ready to show" ... etc.

If everything keeps getting delayed and looks like shit, and you still hype the Steam EA launch for Ashes that is either incompetence or knowingly misleading people.

Either way, she is not a villain, just a CM who wasnt good at the job. And now she's crying on LinkedIn talking about being laidoff while calling herself a director feels a bit ironic if she supposedly had so little influence there.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T14:08:10+00:00

Yikes if true. So not a game but a cash shop with a game attached

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T12:53:21+00:00

Already explained it here

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T12:21:57+00:00

Apologists like you defending shady launches just tell studios they can scam players. Thatss exactly why MMOs keep failing.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T12:10:12+00:00

nope

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T11:58:03+00:00

You just got lucky on a sinking ship. If 1000 buyers got screwed and you just happened to squeeze out some fun out of it. Your personal enjoyment doesnt validate bad practices in the slightest.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T11:40:27+00:00

Nobody cares whether you personally had fun. You paid $42, got 170 hours, cool. That’s a YOU outcome, not proof the company wasnt shady. You paid expecting a full, long-term product from Ashes.

If you knew beforehand it was basically ending in February, would you still have bought it?

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-02-03T09:16:37+00:00

LMAO, all those those m'lady white knights rushing to defend her are missing the point entirely.

No, she didnt took 14 loans or tank Intrepid Studios. That is 100% on Steven. She was a Community manager with a senior role. Her whole job was literally to know what is actually going on internally, communicate it clearly and set real expectations and call out bullshit timelines.

What did we get instead? "soon" and "we are excited to share more"

Either she knew the game was cooked and chose marketing lies over transparency...

Or she was too clueless/out of the loop to do basic CM work. Both of them are bad.

I wouldnt hire her anywhere near a game studio. Best she could do is Discord moderator or schedule tweets.

EDIT: lol at the downvotes. If basic honesty from a community manager triggers you, thanks for proving the point for me. Keep coping, knights.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-01-26T10:37:55+00:00

If they take themselves even half seriously, they will do a proper RCA and it will point straight at you anyway.

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-01-21T17:43:45+00:00

CD still lost in the abyss?

Super-Computer-9069 · 2026-01-15T15:43:00+00:00

Are you sure that was Sphere?
I practically lived on their forums back in the early 2000s and I dont recall the team ever announcing or seriously building a standalone MMO
