twenty4seven_: Absolutely deserved. AGS probably did everything they could to let Lost Ark fail in the west. Could have been a great game, as many others before.

doanliem2458: i mean smilegate have been looking for new publisher for over 2 months now . we saw that coming

seekkira: The game with biggest potential of all MMORPG on the market right now, such high hopes we all had at the start, and it all went to sh*t............... all they had to do was to LISTEN TO PEOPLE and it could be at hundreds of thousands players daily

nightware.: 6:00 GW2 is not "losing" players, but it's actually stabilizing. Most of the Steam players in the past 4-5 months were just trying the game and were refugees from games like New World, Ashes of Creation, possibly World of Warcraft too. If you look at the AVG and Peak Players numbers you can see that in since January 2025 to October 2025, even March 2026, the game actually grew.

In my opinion, it's one of the few games that did achieve a true MMORPG experience, how World of Warcraft felt in it's prime years. Not saying it's better, just saying it's one of the few titles that got close to it.

But yes, I hate how bad the Guild Wars 2 marketing is, and content creators don't point out a lot of the cool or important stuff in the game, they just show a tease, until you try it and give it a proper chance, playing through the first 2 expansions, you won't know or experience the true game.

I had to play it myself for over 350 hours, go out of my way to find game mechanics, little quests, small and cool interactions that you would want in an MMORPG but most games don't have them.

The core story and how it's presented it's a bit outdated for today's standard, but starting with Living World Season 1 and the first expansions, Heart of Thrones, Path of Fire, the level design, maps, and story get so

much better, immersive, you will get surprised on how amazing the game actually is, keeping in mind that they are 8-11 years old.

I also have 800 to 1000 hours in Black Desert Online, and quit it back in 2022 due to repetitivity, and I was never attached to the story like I am in Guild Wars 2.

petetam567: My condolences to anyone at AGS impacted, however Lost Ark with its predatory p2w model deserve to die. Such a shame for a game with such great combat and raid but serverely mis-managed by both AGS and SG

Gavyne: I recently started logging into BDO to get free stuff, PA is quite generous around anniversaries & balls. But I'm not actively playing the game because it's daunting coming back after being gone for 2 years. Trying to figure out all the changes and how to gear up again is a bit overwhelming. I love the graphics & action combat, pvp, etc.. For me to come back fulltime I would have to bring my friends in, but the game is still really lacking group content. So we'll see.

boon6848: the toxicity of veteran players of lost ark contributed to casual people quitting the game.

pmarnoze8321: 9:02 you’re simply a comedy icon

Kitsuden: Rip Roxx... I think she did a great job in her capacity and will greatly miss her.

Should turn LA into a single player game, 1 time purchase like Epoch or d4

pmarnoze8321: The scary part is how much throne earns. Still a top 40 earner on steam. Barbaric

christien6230: It’s funny how BDO basically did nothing and now there doing better

Straggiz: Amazon should stick to delivering my protien bars and gtfo of gaming. The execs are a bunch of idiots...

enokin9477: As a new player starting in January let's be real blue. 20k players are just fishing and 3k are actually playing. Those other mmo's have more active players lmao.

BlueCloverOnline: Throne died months ago, the people that play it just wont admit the facts. Incompetent devs that refused to balance killed it

ElderGamerX: MMOs are cooked. Companies aren't willing to invest a billion dollars into a game like this if it doesn't have a super predatory monetization system, and players are slowly falling out of love with getting bent over.

So at this point you can eat the slop and play WoW or FF14, or hop into a struggling game like BDO or GW2 and hope they figure things out. That's why every MMO has a big launch and then falls off a cliff when the players realize they have to be paypigs to keep up.

bowchicabowwow467: Lost Ark is not a competitor at all lol

Multarix_: And nothing of value was lost

prj_bluebook3306: dang and i just now getting back into LA smh owell

BackToBackWWChamps: I think people overlook black deserts biggest strength. BDO is by all accounts a play at your own speed game. You are not being forced to progress down a single path to enjoy the game.

GG-uy5wo: Lost Ark is notorious pay to win, first time I heard the slang "whale" was Lost Ark. Lost Ark pay to win is very very pay to progression, and everything is locked behind lvl cap.

Meanwhile, BDO pay to win is locked more in pay to convenience and cosmetics. You are not locked on a gear or lvl cap except for certain grinding zones.

Mike-m9h2p: AGS team deserve it. They intentionally changed the art assets to cater to a modern audience.

christien6230: GW2 players gonna be furious

rongyiliu5248: That's what will happen when your game is too f2w...all p2w game last long af. So we see wow, aion, maple story, bdo are still live as f2w game and LS dead as p2w game..wait.

LepsMere: Trash ass AGS! The worst of the worst publishers

ショウローウェル: I really hope PA will upgrade BDO graphic like just solving the massive Pop-in after Crimson desert successes. This is the only reason that keep me not playing BDO now.

xecty2155: Who cares about a game that revolves on PW2? Lol
