Early Access MMORPG Fractured Online has announced today it's going back into what it calls Closed Development as it experiences issues with its "third-party backend platform." The news comes via the website after what looks to be a week of chaos at publisher Gamigo.

    Poor suckers at Rift are still waiting for the 'major content update' in the works......fow how many years now? More importantly, when was the last time Rift actually received new content? No, resetting a battlepass and adding old seasonal events to the game isn't 'new content.'

    Gamigo + anything at all = epic fail. Gamigo is trying to be a bigger shitshow than EA.

    This game was bad.  Not sure this one can be fully blamed on Gamigo

    Maybe not the quality but I can blame Gamigo for making such a stupid decision and investing in this game. That must have been one hell of a sales pitch

    Unless they were just going around and asking kickstarter projects if they want to be funded. I know Pantheon said a few months back that someone offered money to get the game to release but they would have had to give up creative control and they said, "Nope."

    If that is true maybe it was Gamigo and they just went down the list.

    I noticed that "closed development" has not stopped them from declaring "we expect to release the full version in early 2023” on their Steam page. We shall see.

    Gamigo wasn't the only dummy that invested in this game. lol I bought into the kickstarter campaign as well. I regret the decision. The sales pitch was enticing and my lack of self control minimal.  This wil be the last game I crowdfund or kickstart. I should have listened to @Scot.

    Maybe Gamigo were the only ones willing to publish them? Maybe they tried a bunch of different publishers and everyone else turned them down. I've seen lots of Indie MMOs self-publish, maybe if they did that, it would be better for them with nobody breathing in their neck.

    But the game was bad as in:

    - made entirely out of Unity Store assets - UI, models, everything
    - has no gameplay, no rime or reason, nothing
    - is just an empty world with a crafting simulator (people make these as free mods in other games in their spare time)

    I hope you at least get your money back if it falters, fingers crossed!

    I have always advocated that we should avoid pre-orders and so on, you get my money when you launch. But crowdfunding was a special case, although I told players to be wary of putting money in from the start of CF in MMOs, somebody has to fund them. It was not until Slapshot and Kyleran started warning us about CoE that I became increasingly vocal about the problems of CF as a way of making MMOs, the percentages had turned against a good outcome.
