About DE.

Notions on reddit and marketing suggests, DE will be another shitfest, ruined by marketing and streaming garbage people, who care not about the game and its longetivity, but instead, love to see a game die, so they can profit from the new game hype every once in a while.

Developers have also chosen this route over and over again on multiple games. People involved in the business side of things, actually prefer a game that lasts 2 months and dies off, over a game that lasts for decades. The reason for this is simple. Hosting servers for a multiplayer game, require money and costly internet connections with huge bandwidth to support thousands of players connecting and playing at the same time. Hence after they have sold the game initially, they spoil the game overtime, to make sure it dies, and just remake a new game.

The only reason why people can still play aoe2 is because there are no hosted servers. its peer to peer.

I would really really like to know, if they are dropping the peer to peer format, and making it server based. That is actually a definitive marker to how long they intend this game to survive.

Is there any developer out here who can share some insight on this? Please let me know. Thank you.
