I came to Boundless after the previous game I had been playing for years suddenly shut up shop, that game also had a ton of regular updates and a big team, but things in the company changed around and the team got smaller but “they still had big plans” and “they had no plans to shut down”, the updates got slower and slower and communication became less and less until only the community managers spoke to the players, then we were left waiting nearly two years for the next big update, we were shown occasional photos and snippets of the update and still told all along “we have no plans to shut down”.
All along we were told the developers were busy working behind the scenes, the in game store was kept open and of course “we have no plans to shut down”. Then after a couple of years waiting on the update and less and less communication except from rapidly changing mods a message appears.
Thank you all for your years of loyalty bla bla bla we are no longer etc etc
And that was it game was gone, Also a mmo with a larger playerbase than boundless could ever wish for. They kept accepting peoples money right up until the last couple days.
I cant say for definite thats whats happening here but I have to say this is all feeling a bit deja vu to me.
