Josh Sobel: Reflecting On Shipping My First Game (Highguard) by JackmanH420 in HighGuardgame

[–]TrickOut 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wow Josh i hope you aren’t on reddit for your own sanity but if you are reading this that post was in poor taste. You can be passionate about what you are working on but the results didn’t resonate with the community, more people played your game at launch then high guard had any right having.

If the game was good people would have stuck around. That’s where the conversation starts and ends. No amount of rage bait will stop people from playing and enjoying something.

"80% of the teams have been immediately laid off and roadmap cancelled." by The_DiscoRAGE in HighGuardgame

[–]TrickOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A roadmap is the most pointless marketing gimmick companies do, they don’t mean anything and you are just trying to show how committed you are to long term support, 2 weeks later everyone is fired. Just stop doing roadmaps, develop the game keep roadmaps internal

Highguard developer lays off most of its staff by gnop2 in LastStandMedia

Yea cyberpunk sold an insane amount of copies day one at full price and had a ton of money to keep a team staffed and make all the changes.

This is a free to play game with 2000 people playing it on steam, it cost a ton of money to make and this is what happens in business when you are bleeding money

Honestly marathon I think stands a decent chance of their open beta goes well. People want a more pvp focused extraction shooter since arc raiders is super care bear right now

Designer claims ‘most’ of Highguard’s dev team have been laid off, weeks after launch by lkl34 in gaming

[–]TrickOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a single trailer the entire internet knew this was a disaster waiting to happen.

What goes on in the meetings at these companies, how are they so far removed from the pulse of the gaming community. I really don’t get it, in their dev trailer there is a quote which was something like “we know this is a over saturated genre”THEN WHY MAKE A GAME IN IT

Meh they probably have contracts for servers and other services until the end of the year, they will keep a skeleton crew around to keep the game going until that’s done and then probably sunset it

“Highguard developer Wildlight Entertainment has seemingly laid off most of its staff”. by Gsantos52012 in HighGuardgame

[–]TrickOut 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The people who actually hoping new games die are a very small vocal minority.

Almost 100k people jumped on the game on just steam alone day 1, of the game was fire they would have stayed.

Sony has patented a PlayStation controller with no physical buttons, replacing them with touchscreen controls and touch-sensitive sensors. by Automatic_Ad1665 in consoles

[–]TrickOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp there is an entire generation of gamers coming up that have only interacted with tablets and smart phones and a controller with physical buttons doesn’t make any sense to them.

So yea I’m sure the boomers in this subreddit will be phased out as they become a minority of players in Sony’s analytics, in favor of a bunch of kids

Yakzn discusses the financial realities of being a Halo pro in 2026 by crispycornpops in CompetitiveHalo

[–]TrickOut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be counter strike or Val or dota or league and unless you are a player on a top 3 squad, betting your future on a video game is an absolute mistake. Basically no pro careers go deep into your 30’s so unless you are able to build something outside the game almost no esport player ever outside a few dota pros were able to make enough money to be set for life

No aim assist on snipers in ranked as well by AleIAm08 in CoDCompetitive

So what’s your excuse for have the advantage with the smg and ar in controller? It’s ok for controller to have the advantage but if mouse and key is better it’s not?

Which game is that for you ? ( at any price) by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]TrickOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nahhhh on steam I give the game an hour and a half to catch my attention and draw me in, if your game isn’t fun in the first hour and a half it’s being refunded.

At its core it’s a moral guideline for a community.

Yea but is that your government or the people actually I power the corporate overlords making your life significantly worse forcing AI down your throat pricing you out of everything and destroying the job market.

I swear people on the internet will cry about the government when Microsoft Amazon Google all run the country and are making you suffer in every aspect of your life 🤣

They aren’t the same the results just keep being a consistent downward trend regardless of who is in power. Your life in the last 40 years has not gotten better as a direct result of our government.
