Re: I'm noticing a Pattern for Audio FPSs
You're probably right about it not losing popularity. Weather it is or not though, the one thing we can say for certain is that it's not been hacked and it's not been leaked or boycotted. Mason and Ivan have both had their games boycotted, and it seems like the reason is that they chose to get rid of decentralized servers and it pissed off a lot of people, to a point where not only did their source get spread across the border, but the forum was a complete mess of insults and general immaturity. We're still feeling the consequences of that downward spiral to this day to a certain extent. I'm not saying that it was all because of them centralizing everything again, after all it was the people who played those games who didn't handle their frustration properly and ultimately decided to target the developers and other players in a more destructive manner rather than calmly displaying their displeasure to the developer. If they had calmly discussed their differences, a lot of the problems we have now - such as The Killer being banned from the forum - would not have happened. Unfortunately, as human beings we know that complete and total civility is not possible, and people will react negatively and cause chaos over just about anything, hell maybe the post I'm typing up right now will spark something from people, which obviously isn't my intention. Knowing how uncivil people can be, the developers should have left things as they were. If Talon ever decided to centralize RTR, I believe I could safely say the entire forum would erupt with anger and things would spiral out of control, just as they have with TK.
