    I am curious how much they cut their pay, but any time the executives will take a pay cut that is at least a good mark in my book. Hoping they can turn things around, as the game itself isn't bad. They just made some bad choices at the start an it is hard to right the ship when that happens.

    I have no idea why they decided to release this game. the interest in the game is non exsistent.

    They should just close it, take the loss and don't run into the 0's

    it was there...but they screwed up the soft launch so bad it was unplayable for weeks...so alot of people refunded right away..they did this to themselves. but they deserve props for pay cuts.

    I don't think anyone needs any further proof that this game is DOA and not long for this Earth. It probably won't make it to 2025.

    Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?

    Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.

    Seems like the majority of game dev studios make bad choices. Well I don't really care if they fold; good riddance. The market is already over saturated with trash games. The talented, the experienced, and the passionate are the only ones who deserve to develop games. The rest are just posers and losers who want to cash in. I realize how toxic that sounds, but that is how I feel about it. Games are a work of art and engineering; and should be respected as such.

    Man, nothing signifies how badly a game is doing like the execs taking pay cuts. Sounds like this game is withering on the vine on its way to straight up dying.
