I'm just...so disappointed that they thought this was a good idea. What do you think? Let me know down below! 👇
I just cant wait to whip this wallet out for some pngs on a dead shooter game they really sold me.
@@Prosperous.Intuition like thats the best use of my hard worked for cash
At first I thought it this would be some tragic downfall of some current fps, but when I realized that it was shatterline and now seeing the developments that have been happening, ngl it got me kinda depressed since I really wanted to play but I didn’t have a pc of my own yet
NTF? No fucking thanks.
One would think that these companies would have learned by now. But this is 2024 and you know most people and companies will go for the stupidest option possible. What a time to be a gamer, right?
NFTs are still a thing?Seriously?I thought they died 2 years ago
They've always been dead
Nothing truly ever dies if some people still remember it.
The new game called banana has been trending on steam for several weeks
@@pomegranaatbannana and egg and there’s a new one now forgot its name but they all do the same thing but bannana is the most popular one
It's because they are, they're mostly used to launder now lol
NFT's were always a meme, only gullible idiots & pedowood celebs thought it was serious
Hey! I was one of the community moderators for this game, and as of today, I have stepped down from that position. And no, I did not ban anyone from the server, as my primary role was to gather community feedback, bug reports and just interact with the small but dedicated community. I considered it an honor to serve in that capacity for about 2 years, and if you saw a Brandon "aileronroll" on the server, that is me. :)
Truth be told, even us moderators were blindsided by this decision. We were not told of this "publisher" until mere hours before it was pushed through the server. When that happened, half, if not more, moderators left the team, and around a 90% drop in playerbase happened on Steam, and will continue to drop until August 1st (EOL). And I share your disappointment, as I shared that sentiment with the dev team prior to me leaving the mod team. To work so hard in trying to maintain a small but dedicated and passionate community just for all of that work to get thrown out the window...yeah, it sucks. I just hope that the devs that have been active, like Denis with his amazing story telling, JoT with his expertise in PVP, Volk, who is a wizard with Linux and BlownGasket, who last week left for another studio, land on a solid studio that would use their talents to their potential. This situation is awful all around, but the dev team were super talented and really gracious to us mods.
I hate that it ended the way that it did, but it's time to leave this game behind and start on new adventures. Thank you for covering this! I appreciate you!
Hey I think we talked a couple times on Discord. Sucks that even you guys that held the small community together got bulldozed by this garbage decision. I hope you find success in the future ✌
@@OkamiAmaterasu. Hi! Yes, I remember you! Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it, and appreciate you for stopping by. 🙂❤️
I just find it hard to believe the developers working the fucking game didn't know about this scummy ass shit.
love brandon
Thanks for putting this game on my radar so I can promptly take it off my radar.
Love it 😂
facts.
*Drills holes in boat* "Why is my boat sinking?"
NFTs to an indie game...
FUCK!!!!
Epic is filled to the brim with em.
@@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa god fucking damn it
Is it really an indie game if it had a fucking $100+ million budget?
@@LordLOC Technically? At this point, as far as I can tell, "Indie" just means it isn't funded by a major publisher. If the money came from sources that aren't major publishers, be they Ubisoft, Microsoft, or Tencent, the game is classified as an "Indie" as far as I can tell
@@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Not only Epic. Steam is actually worse they are just not allowed to Advertise them on the store page etc.
Goddamnit man…not Shatterline 🤦♂️
NFTs have no place in gaming and them doing this has completely killed my excitement or hope for this game.
Shut it the hell down at this point.
NFTs still exist? LOL
@@mcdonaldsmanager6976 I don’t think I ever said NFTs don’t exist, but go off I guess…
@@SirBlackout_ they were making a joke
@@SirBlackout_did you even understand what he meant?
@@skyezblue3136 nah but apparently they were joking lol
My b
Stuff like this is brain dead. Why anyone thought this was smart is beyond me. This game is officially Dead.
And who would buy that?
Which is again, a shame considering the fact that the game had already established a dedicated playerbase and their just throwing it out of the window like if it was...nothing.
the game has been dead for a while now, and they essentially just lost a ton of money with the whole project if the development costs are even remotely accurate, this is their way of trying to fleece some extra shekels from people
The way my jaw dropped when I seen that this game is getting NFTs...
What the actual FUCK are these guys thinking? WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
Money?
@@DueRag they've made none so far off of this. The potential money maybe but look at the market man, NFT projects fail all the time it feels like
@@RedBeardMortis Yeah, the only thing they achieved is that neither me nor any of my friends are going to buy any supporter bundle in any f2p game anymore.
Damn shame that they struggle to survive on the ever growing market, but an even bigger shame that they just pull a 180 and essentially sell out on anyone who supported them from the start.
They honestly should've given a refund to anyone given that they're not even shutting down the game as in "sorry but it just doesn't work anymore and we cant afford it" way but in a "thanks for your money but we'll relaunch it now as a NFT game" way.
@@RedBeardMortis All NFTs do is fuck up the environment. They are worthless, baseless pieces of code assigned a fake value.
Who the hell buys NFTs to begin with? Especially in a video game where it does not belong at all..
i fucking loved shatterline. i played around 1.5k hours.. it was the most fun i've ever had. i participated in the closed betas and playtested multiple unreleased maps. i bought basically every single thing they offered because i wanted to support their game and their vision.. and now i learn that they where straight up LYING since early access released.
this game went to shit.. thrown into the garbage.
im actually hurt on how BAD they fumbled the bag.
Same, and I never thought that I'll ever say that I want the money I threw into the supporter packs of a game back.
If it'd just shut down: fine, happens (obviously).
But doing a 180, first taking peoples money and then re branding it as a NFT game is insanity and not what people threw their money in for to begin with.
you get what you deserve
Why do they always fumble? I don’t get it…
@@John316forlife Because NFT bad
Never buy early access
due process didnt deserve to die man
While I agree, I do think they we're too slow on the uptick for updates
@@BigfryTV I don't think any amount of updates would have saved them. That game is the very definition of extremely niche in the FPS scene.
One of the best multiplayer experiences I've had in recent years
Wait isn’t that the one like R6? With the odd art style?! Great now I won’t have a chance to play it…
The game would’ve been better off free to play for how niche it was
Shatterline has gone Faraway. XD
Thank you my man. Glad my email helped make light of the situation. You have earned a fan for life. Big respect.
It was you Dino? Very nice. Good shit.
@@Chris-qb2iu yessir
Thank god he kept you anonymous in the video
Wow what a disappointment. I really wanna know what these people are thinking, like do they really think NFT’s are gonna make this game big? Such a scam
Its more likely some NFT pushers found them and took over while they where weak
Basicaly they migth have been hijacked by crypto-bros, its the new trend
NFT games have made bank with fake non-games, getting outside-the-industry investment. Now that those are all (obviously) failing en mass, the logical next step is what we see here: a real game made by a real team that reaches the end of their money long before they had a chance to get any traction in a crowded and competitive space getting bought by a shady NFT outfit who sees the chance to "differentiate" their scam by at least starting with something functional.
Yeah in all honesty unfortunately this is probably going to pay off for them (Faraway). Most crypto games until now were tokens/NFTs first and vaporware husk games as an after thought. But with a base game that is fleshed out and actually has some enjoyable gameplay and NFTs just sprinkled on top, this is going to get giga hyped in crypto communities, they;ll be all "2024 the year of crypto gaming! HV-MTL to the moooon!". Which will cause the NFT values to spike, then once the cryptobros start to lose interest and player pop dwindles just like the previous non-crypto community did prices will crash and it will be dead for good.
@@gamemusicify they aren't revolutionary, just an easy way to make a decent amount of money off dumber people. I'm saying this as someone with an NFT profile picture and someone who's sold $100s worth of them.
How embarrassing, they're better off just keeping it offline forever, gonna be dogshit. NFT's died like 2 years ago, how are people still dumb enough to go this far with this trash? Poor devs that had made an actual decent game had to see it get shit on
Man, Valve better hold on tight to Steam and not sell out to corporate greed.
Lord Gaben will cherish and care for his baby until the day he dies
I'm told that he's preparing his son to helm the ship for when the time comes.
I pray that the Son of Gaben era is as fruitful as his fathers.
when gaben dies we're so screwed lol
I'm sure that part about "2 years together" is total bullshit. Like 100% sure.
And NFT thing is obviously ridiculous but DEVs intentions weren't to add this to the game from the beginning.
Rather it's a recent decision made due to the lack of hope and ways to survive.
imagine defending shit and scummy devs....
It’s absurd Fraglabs decided this was a good idea lmfao
So its a rug pull before the even bigger rug pull
I'm one of the hardcore players that's stuck around since day 1. A lot of the guys i know are from the NDA period or around my time. I've been living this nightmare in the discord all day, and I have so much information that I am more than willing to drop in a comment. I also know the anon source that supplied the information that was used in this video. Everyone felt betrayed, some more than...a few who decided to defend instead.
As I said, I've been playing since right before Season Alpha. I've witnessed a lot both behind the surface of the game, and the game itself. Just wanted to say this was really the final straw and the biggest surprise the entire community had. This started at midnight in the server on July 3rd. It just went downhill from there. This seemed to be such a well kept secret that a not insignificant amount of developers were not even aware, including community team members and discord staff. A few key developers did indeed leave over this, the seemingly only community member that was active and employed by FL did not even know anything, as well as any of the discord mods.
Regarding the A1RDOG statement. That statement was when the game had Wargaming as the investment company. A1RDOG himself stated that he left when WG pulled out as well. That statement was true at the time, or A1RDOG might've been lied to as well. It's obvious this was a well kept secret.
Just to put some fresh info out there as well. It's not just P2W, as they (Faraway) plan on adding "Competitive PvE" to the game as well, which they also said you will be able to use the drones (they're apparently pronounced heavy metal) in for a huge advantage. That's right. they're incentivizing people to buy a NFT to potentially win money. They also stated they wanted to make these drones in-universe canon. They have no new functionality either as they're just a remodeled Strafer heal drone with Malva's drone zap attacks and extra range. They also stated they only made 21k of these NFT's, which if you look at the steamdb charts. It peaked pretty much at this number. Make of that what you will.
The discord turned into a bloodbath. A comment further down from MrBrandonPlaysDrums names some of the devs. Another was Vait, who did the weapon animation work. As well that comment also goes into some of the mod stuff but 3 mods had stepped down as a result. A lot of bans were handed out some for seemingly no reason ("Overstaying your welcome" was the ban reason of the anon source btw), and others were for "toxicity" when it was either negative feedback or dissenting opinion. Some of the bans were indeed legitimate.
Outside of the recent controversy. Some people likely never were aware of the lack of communication from the devs either. We couldn't even get patch notes, and still can't. They take feedback, slap it on the Trello board, and then do absolutely nothing with it too. Game breaking bugs that we've reported several times might as well be considered intended features at this point. We could barely get any answers within the discord. They're also holding a QnA this Saturday, which we had been asking about for over a year now. They kept skirting around and said "soon." Well it was obvious they were waiting for this announcement. Lack of comms is partially why the game struggled to maintain 200 peak daily players too.
The game had huge potential. Shame to see it go out like this. We were all expecting them to just EOS the game on the 1st and be done. Not this. No one expected this. Especially to not even be told by the crypto partner at that. Which also raises a good question. With 6 years in dev, and an average team of 200 (it fluctuated quite a bit), a "free and open source" engine, where is that money going? That's AAA budget levels for games. For a game and company of this scale and to not even have a product anywhere near full release (it's still rough as Taras keeps changing the vision every few updates), where's the money going?
Also at the time of typing this up (02:08 on July 4th), the BigFry charm has not been removed. I would doubt if they care enough to.
I'll just pop you a reply so you get the notification and you can find it easier later.
Same, bump
@@Beefyrulz Updated, ty. I had it ready to write I just kept pushing it off because I really didn't want to write on my phone lol.
Another case of “who the fuck wants this”. Just like with DrDiddlers ex-game studio: what the fuck is even the point of the NFT’s. I have seen zero people ask for NFT’s in their games. The only place NFT’s would even have a place in the gaming industry is in something like VRChat or second life. Even then, I’d prefer the ability to directly purchase things instead of the overly complicated mess that is NFT’s.
Also, I absolutely hate the prize pool money. It’s gonna push the game from a casual fun experience into a hyper-competitive slog.
Why the fuck does every multiplayer indie FPS seem to kill itself off. Hell, even I am considering just canceling my multiplayer FPS because I don’t wanna incur the curse that seems to befall every single one of them.
only use for NFTs are if the games CD key was an NFT but no game company would actually want to give us actual ownaship of the media we buy.
Any in game implementation is pointless, you can not actually store the media on the blockchain, so if the company shuts the game down then you are fucked.
NFT's in gaming is a bad solution to a problem Valve already fixed many years ago
@@BxPanda7 its actually the kinda the same thing, they use a ledger to record transaction, a blockchain is just a immutable ledger.
Basically all this is, is moving the ledger from a internal ledger to the ethereum ledger and for some reason using that to make people pay more
@@michaelfisher4737 Also makes it easier to get scammed, once the item is gone, it's gone, no amount of customer support is going to help you.
I hope we learn that not all indie devs have your interest in mind.
It really is sad, too, since these devs had an opportunity to do something with what they had, that most others could dream of. That may sound over exaggerating, but it's true. The moment greed sets in, cut all ties. Indie devs are no better than most AAA dev teams and their publishers. @@gamemusicify
I don't understand why you'd do this for NFTs of all things.
The market for them is dead. Like, other than a few delusional people who still believe that it's still salvagable, NFTs have become a thing that barely exists in the past year (thank god).
So why go all in on them now, of all times?
Exactly. As dumb of a decision this was, it would have made at least some sense when nfts were more popular. Now that they’ve basically died now, thank god, it’s a super brain dead move deciding to do this now.
Eastern European countries are always a few years behind on what's cool.
Yeah, they’re way behind in trying to cash in on that. 🙄
Did you guys even watch the vid? They have been working on it for 2 years now. They decided to partner behind the scenes when the nft's were "hype" (still an overstatement lol) and now they just announced it and are going to ship it this year. They probably didn't want to scare off the current playerbase who has been buying cosmetics, and now they are going to take the partnership money and deliver a miscarriage of a game and dip. All the decent hard working people left the company and I respect them.
@@jonek3183 they should've aborted when the bottom fell out for nfts. Huge waste of time.
This was one of the last devteams that i thought would do something like this.
Compared to other games people were not even complaining about this game having microtransactions during early access since they were trying to make something unique-ish and because of the circumstances they worked in, now imagine how everyone who supported them and spent money feels.
poor game
can ure old ass generation stop complaining u think u can live off bread crumbs in this world or what dude ure own life is a business for others to cash in
Dude this was like the worst possible outcome. I was expecting maybe a step back to completely overhaul the game or something. Sadge..
"This isn't about token gating, but they give you a huge PvE advantage. We're also adding competitive PvE with $ prizes."
BRUH , FUCK THAT SHIT . Thanks for keeping the people informed Bigfry .
Hearing this just breaks my heart.
All they had to do was keep a nice marketing budget for youtuber sponsorships, conventional Tv ads, etc. and keep the revenue coming in with some good cosmetics in the item store and battlepass. They would've had a million dollar IP on their hands in no time at all. Instead, years later nobody even remembers this game and what i considered to be one of the most fun free games on the market is selling out to pursue NFT'S, losing the few players that still wanted them to succeed in the process.
DJ Khalid has entered the chat.
"And another one. You played yourself."
I never trusted the devs behind Shatterline, and even though me being right in thinking that may not have been for these reasons exactly, it still feels good knowing I never supported them and never really trusted them. I played the PvP, it felt good, but something about the devs and their responses and the in-game economy and stuff, I just... never quite trusted them, so I never bought a Cosmetic in their game. Glad I didn't now.
When this game was released, it was really good. My friends and I played it for a few months, but eventually, we all stopped. The reason is that the modes became too repetitive. Whether it was PvP or PvE, it all felt the same to us. Sadly, the game has taken a turn for the worse. I hope the developers see the negative feedback and try to steer the game in the right direction. even though its dead
Welp, guess I'm uninstalling and never touching a really fun game ever again. I can't even belive they thought this was gonna be a good idea.
I am planning to remove the game from my steam account completely
NFTs....The game is DOA.
You know what game didn’t deserve to die? The Cycle Frontier
Real
I was sad about that 😭
Game sounds like a BMX or Mountain Bike simulator 😂
Yes. Your right
I know I haven't agreed with you on some more recent takes but you're 10000% on the money here. I appreciate that you call out the bullshit as it is. Shit like this is why I have trust issues, and why I haven't bought a game at launch for YEARS. This has scam written all over it.
This is a really poor way if saying this game will never see the light if day again. Noone wants to deal with devs that lie and go behind our backs. The fact its moving to epic alone means i will never play this game. Nft's, epic game store launch. Glad i never paid attention to this game
I played this game to death when it just launched. With everything it had going for it, I honestly thought that it would be successful. I'm sad to see it die like this.
God fucking damn it shatterline, you had such promise.
Zero chance this game finds any legs on Epic if it was basically dead on Steam.
Literal 0% chance. Not gonna happen. NFT bullshit is just pissing on the grave at that point.
Oh no...
I had to sell my PC during covid and slowly saving for a new one. Shatterline was one of the titles that I was looking forward to play eventually.. guess another one bites the dust. Ain't even going to bother checking about it.
At first I thought they were doing a Multiversus move .... But it's actually so much worse
okay i thought you were just being mean to some indie devs shutting their game down to finish it, but as soon as you revealed that they were integrating some dumb shit nfts i understand why you sounded so harsh in the intro
Make the game free to play.
Make the game pay to win.
Add a leaderboard for PvE content.
These are mobile game tactics. Glad this never made its way to console because I'd have bought it in a heartbeat before this. Now you couldnt pay me to play it.
Somehow they've managed to do everything wrong.
Crypto games have been loudly and majorly rejected by the entire gaming community. They may as well just not relaunch it at all.
Launching on Epic only, when the only following you have is on Steam. Granted they were down to like 200 players anyway. But Epic only launches just don't do well.
They were always pretty terrible with communication to their players, long before this debacle.
It was a good game. They could have done a smart relaunch and made some money off the launch. Instead they gave their own eulogy.
I’m really disappointed. I discovered shatterline mid last year and my wife, best friend, and I played the shit out of it and really enjoyed it. But we noticed the lack of a player base even then. Matchmaking queues were long and finding other pve players was a nightmare. It’s just a shame that a game with such promise and a genuinely good gameplay loop has to be ruined like this. Sad.
This game can be fun for the first two or three days, then becomes nothing the next week and even if you don't play it you won't miss it at all, and it has always been like that. People are just stuck with these games, where they see a concept that is close to a game they envision, and they starts to feel that this is their game, it has what they want, or it will have what they want at some point in the future, and be blind to the fact that the game is not good enough, and even if it has potential, it will not be good enough in the future. Good games are good from the start, there isn't such a thing as: this game is going to be good in the future. When you first played Red Dead Redemption 2 you didn't think the game is fine but has potential, hence it's going to be good in the future, so I'm going to keep playing with the hope that its going to get good. When you first booted up Red Dead Redemption, you just knew, saw, and felt, that this is a good game, because it is a good game.
what’s crazy is that they’re currently botting the playercount up to 800-ish
you can tell because the devs deployed a patch overnight and you can see the bots being turned back on after the update via Steam charts
Hope the company goes under and the remaining devs are blacklisted from the industry. Props to the devs who left and didn't want anything to do with Non Flushable Toilets.
Just wait until you hear about Delta Force Hawk Ops adding in “Hero Abilities” like xray vision, super speed, and juggernauts…
Oh man, the end of the video was nuts, thems fighting words !
Haven’t seen a good BigFry exsposé in awhile
I used to play Shatterline, It was a great game and I enjoyed it, my problem that time was having one map for payload game mode. It is unfortunate to see this game is dying, I had high hopes for it and looking for a day that they can make a big update to bring the game up again. For anyone looking for another game with great devs, I welcome you to The Finals and Arc Raiders from Embark studios games. Arc Raiders is still in development and it is PVPVE. The Finals currently is doing great and Power Shift game mode is like payload but with more destruction. I'm sorry for another great game dying with wrong decisions.
"I am *ABSOLUTELY LIVID* " -God Emperor of Mankind- Bigfry, 2024
Little late to the video, I had to poop but love the content you're putting out!
The Developers: "Hey guys, you know; our game has been dying out lately and it'd be cool to release the final game with a bunch of new changes and updates to bring players back in, you know what the main update a game that is dying needs tho??
The Community: Uhh Rolling mechanics, Jetpacks, Healing System, Uhh we dont know, what is it Dev's?
The Devs: Another dead idea that was only created to scam people, NFTS!
Edit: Also i need to finish my objectives SO FAST, that i need to pay for a 32,000$ DRONE ... like wtf kinda logic and thinking is that?? I shook my head so damn hard when they said "Holders are going to be able to use their HV in PVE which is a big advantage" Like we all hate on call of duty for it, but it would've been a 100% smarter idea for these guys to just introduce Pack openings and micro transactions, NOT NFT'S FOR F*CK SAKES.
Big respect for emailing them to remove your charm from the game!
Steam doesn't allow NFT, no?
Afaik they only banned direct implementation/transaction processing via their client. As long as the transaction is done outside Steam the game itself should still be able to run on Steam. It's a half-assed but I guess somewhat understandable stance as they probably can't be held accountable for any issues then. But yes, people praised Valve mildy too much for an alleged ban that isn't the most strict one.
@@Lenariet Fair, i wasn't sure if it was NFT and/or Crypto ^^
@@Lenariet Steam doesn't allow anything with blockchain technology and since there is a piece of equipment that only activates when you have have an NFT, no, this would not fly whatsoever with steam.
I respect your opinion but i have been playing this game for some time now and my inventory going to be worth 500+ dollars . So i actually happy about the new updates since it just payed my bills.. NFTs is a complicated matter some games are completely scam but some are really innovative and made by quite big studios.
I mean if nfts are so bad for gaming why csgo and tf2 and all those games with manipulated economy and gambling is not in the same basket? . I think this video is well made and i appreciate your update there is many things I can't agree with the recent changes too but i am just happy I ended making money out of this game :) thumbs up 👍
There are some critical voices regarding the CS:GO and TF2 economy. It's not really a good point to make either way. Because if those two games, or let's say Rust for example, have been doing it for many years without any blockchain involved then it obviously doesn't need NFTs. That being said not every NFT implementation has to be the same. Shatterline worked without and is gonna tack it on as an afterthought, it wasn't designed from the start with NFTs and pay-to-earn in mind. Still, if they think they will attract any or some good kind of additional players they are in for a negative surprise.
I had almost 1k hours on Shatterline, but their bad updates every update made all of my friends stop playing the game. Ever since they completely nerfed bhopping to the ground this game lost most of its loyal PVP players. What a shame, if I knew it was gonna be NFT I would've never spent a penny on the shop, thinking I was supporting a Ukrainian game.
Fraglab takes another L, once again
Yeah, they've always been kind of terrible as a dev team. They didn't listen to feedback or respond to the community at all. I guess we know why they were just doing things their own way now. They were trying to find a way to cram NFTs into the gameplay.
@@yahootube90 it's a shame, the game was actually really fun back before they revamped the PVE (I only played Escort though, that was the most fun gamemode)
What a shame indeed...
even a AAA studio would have a rough time trying to incorporate NFTs into their game, but for an indie team to attempt it is just... wow.
I wish more devs did NFT stuff like gods unchained. 99% of games that use the blockchain are absolutely horrible, but gods unchained feels like a genuine trading card game, with like actual in game drops that are actually worth money.
Kind of impressed that they'd admit it's essentially pay-to-win instead of bullsh*tting us with corporate speak...
caliber would do so much better on console..
yeah i saw this coming for this game and is the reason why i never got invested or play it. i have see it play by others i know. they can keep their NFT BULL 💩 THE DEVS ARE PRETTY MUCH RUINING THEIR OWN GAME OUT OF GREED AND THE GAME IS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THE DEVS. WHO IN HELL STILL THINKS NFT ARE GOING TO MAKE THEM RICH WHEN MOST GAMER HATE THAT 💩 AND THEY BEEN OUT FOR EVER AND I HAVE NEVER HEAD OF ANYONE BECOMING RICH FROM NFTS...... SO IT THE FEW FOOLISH KIND THAT DECIDED TO BUY INTO IT THAT ARE STILL PUSHING THIS GARBAGE ....... THAT MOST DON'T WANT
Crazy to think these developers think gamers want NFTs in their games. We have expressed our feeling about this so many times.
in the words of the warrior poet Blade there is always some motherfuckers ice skating uphill
God, all the money they grifted off people because they're in a warzone, all just to throw their loyal supporters into the fires of a long-dead NFT trend that guarantees double digit playercounts. Oh and did I mention this means Shatterline's being taken off Steam and becoming Epic exclusive?
Yeah, the switch is why they shut it down and re-release it.
If they'd still have it on steam valve would have our backs and refund everyone for that move.
They just killed a game with a lot of potential. They deserve all the things that will follow.
Sad to hear this. I've played and covered Shatterline some since the start. Was not expecting this :(
How late are these guys to the NFT hype train? That went off the rails ages ago.
32k for an item in a dead game, i dont understand how anybody leading this project thinks that shit is a good idea, theyd have it easier making a normal shops with cosmetics and a battle pass bc no one is gonna buy there stinky nfts, this is just so weird, whoever is heading the game has to be so out of touch bc this just makes NO sense
The hell were they thinking. Was actually looking forward to the release of Shatterline too, after supporting it from the first battle pass.
Shatteline, never heard of
ew NFT's? I just removed it from my steam library I refuse to have that even close to my name let alone play something with that in it.
Not only did they introduce NFT into their game, they also take it off Steam and move to Epic...YIKES lmaooooooo
I quit Shatterline because after 3 weeks it began to feel like everyone was cheating. I went from being top 3 in every game (including the enemy team), to CONSTANTLY getting insta-killed everytime I turned a corner or tried to peek a odd angle. Maybe a bunch of 1337 fps pros finally caught on and crashed the scene, maybe cheat devs finally caught on. I don't know, but I stopped having fun and the PvE mode got too repetitive after the 50th run.
This ain't gonna bring me back, I don't care about their game anymore.
Surefire way to kill your game? Make it an NFT farm.
It's like they never learn from the community, past mistakes of other companies, or even just from common sense.
THEY HAD A DIAMOND, and they crapped on it and called it a good idea.
I mean, Shatterline is dead already, at this point you are in a position in which you can’t screw up more than you already did, your game is already dead, so technically you can go in any direction with it.
that's worring. Big publishers are starting to put their dirty hands on indie titles and destroying them, just like they destroyed the AAA industry.
Shatter line getting turned into an nft game is crazy and somehow they made it more pay to win than a Nexon game.
I did UX testing on this at full sail about 6 years ago. It was a drastically different game back then.
maybe if devs started focusing on making single player campaigns again instead of multiplayer only titles all the time they wouldnt have to worry about communities dying out
They need to stop with the live service system, they need to allow private custom server, lan, modding. They need to sell their games as a base for people to buy them and play them as simple as that. Even today i can still use my ut2k4 copy, setting servers, mods it, play in lan, play offline with bots. To this day it is still superior to most modern fps games
Due process’s loadout selection was pretty innovative and that’s also what I liked. Weapons are limited for each team and you need to ration what you pick out for each round. I hope someday someone may bring back a loadout system like this
There is a strong likelihood that they did not work on nft's in the background and that the NFT company claims are bs.
It sucks that they sold out their community, but I have strong doubts that an NFT company drumming up hype randomly was "working with them for 2+ years" if they have to actually integrate these things into the game first before deploying said nft's to said game.
So Yes hate them for selling out for nft's cuz who the fuck does that but wouldn't say they lied because that is a he said she said from an NFT Company that is shady af.
I never clicked on a video so fast!

This game will never make it. Social media will bury it.
Now I'm just wondering if they are going to escalated with DMCA'S or Privacy complaints?
Indie games struggle so much since they don’t have the mass casual audience that any bad decision can instantly kill it meanwhile these massive games like CoD can bleed players like a sliced artery and still have hundreds of thousands of casuals to at just don’t care
I absolutely love Shatterline, but uhm... fuck this shitty NFT thing.
I hope that eventually makes the game simply shut down instead... Like i rather have it shut down then having it *FILLED* with NFT's. 🤬😤
Bro always backs shit up, until the player base gets fucked…then he jumps ship like he’s doing us a favor..
People get really mad about "NFT" in gaming, yet no one is mad about CS:GO and CS2 skins which essentially are the exact same thing.
The problem with NFT games, is that there was never any good implementation of it.
Once the game is labeled as "NFT Game" the devs forget about the gameplay and focus on money making, so all NFT games are usually terrible and not fun at all.
Counter-Strike does not call it's skins NFTs but essentially they work the exact same way, and people enjoy the game, it even makes the game more enjoyable for some.
(The only issue now with CS2 is the cheater problem)
People do like to grind for fun, and if there is a reward afterwards that you could sell for a couple of bucks that would be even better, it's just that no one has ever managed to "balance" these NFT rewards, and their "Pay-To-Win" mechanics and earning capabilities is what kills the games.
"Ongoing war"?
Unless there is a war between greedy developers and players for justice! 🤣
I spend an ungodly amount of time on this game, spent a lot hours even making montages. Glad i stopped playing it when i did because Fraglab's decisions are just blunder after blunder. Im happy with the people i met there and the funny clips i got. For the 100th time GG's and rip Shatterline.
Absolute betrayal.
Imagine joining NFT in 2024, you must hate your money a lot
As soon as you read the announcement, I knew it was gonna be NFT nonsense. This really sucks.
Shit like this makes me not want to support indie devs no matter how much I enjoy the game
I probably spend $200+ on the vame to support it because i loved it and now ive been burned
Wow...just wow. Seeing they were adding NFTs made my interest in the game just vaporize into thin air
This is the dark future of gaming. Just check CS and their infamous skins. Every company will try to stick those things, it's actually not like printing money, it IS printing money.
