I Personally hope when HTC finally throws in the towel, Hitech will package the client and single server software to be sold as is with no support on steam for $60+ this would allow him to discontinue the subscription service bring down the server(s) and still make money on the game with little or no effort.
You're implying that people will pay money for a desktop game with no online interaction and be profitable?

No I'm implying that If HTC wants to make money on the game after "Retirement" They can package the game with Client side 16 or 32 player H2H and with the software for a single instance stand alone server software that would let you run your own server limited by your own hardware independent from the client.

Basically for the price of a new AAA game you get the game client with H2H and the option to join a stand alone server as well as an installer for a separate single stand alone server instance. But if you want a 500 man arena you better have the hardware to support it.

I'm also suggesting the game could be sold on Steam as is with no support. Any sale that makes it past the return time would be pure profit.

For the community this would be a much better option than selling the IP to a 3rd party like EA.

Goodbye girl. Blocked so these other members can actually help me like they all have been. I appreciate them, but could give little care about you or what happens to you. Goodbye and thanks to the others!

I don’t think 32 in an arena will go over with current player base. I think Steam actually had negative effects as those in Steam slaughtered it on their forums. It got a huge spike, but it then went backwards.

I doubt it will ever be owned by anyone else.

Look at that YouTube gave me what you look like and all your videos! Perfect

I'm a very good judge of character, and never on the wrong side of good people..

I said I was helping you in otherways ie. so you could read what I posted and fixed your glitched attitude.

The others here that help you are better people than I am, but they probably have yet to read through all of your posts and see you for who you are.

I'm pleased you went stalking my accounts away from this BBS like a certain Skyyr did, revealing a disturbed personality type to everyone. Even a thinly veiled threat towards me in my PMs..

no thanks sweetheartbag but I like to meet keyboard warriors if you want to meet  :ahand I'll show you how old my 32 year old bellybutton is. learn to shut the diddly up before you meet the wrong person in real life. Come to New Hampshire and we can show you who the wrong person is. I wish nothing but the worst for you future pieces of compost.

Maybe now my fellow AHers will act with caution, realising you deserve every error you have.

The whole steam release was botched badly by HiTech.  It was being touted as free to play on Steam and avoided the mention of monthly subscription until players had already launched the game.  That led to massive negative reviews that could have been partly avoided by being upfront about it.  Also at the time the game interface was hard to use for VR people that it was also being highly advertised to.

Take your brain dead drama elsewhere. You have zero room to talk, someone who makes 50 page drama fest of kid drama and childish attacks. I’m sure Barbie has an online game you fit right into.

Would you like us to “call you out”?

Until he dies something out of line, like you, he’s ok here.

Go ahead, light me up. Right niw you are hijacking a thread with undue drama, thats Dolby

I noticed that on the steam reviews as well and I think it still says "free" misleading people. I haven't tried to download it off that but Im assuming its the same files regardless and wouldn't help with any certain issues that come up.

How does someone block someone on the forums? I checked but I'm probably just missing how. I'd rather focus on the subject here and "squelch" this man childs posts.

If you switched to steam you would have to create a new account as the accounts are not transferable.
