Spiral Knights

On a scale from barely not dead to so dead it fossilized how dead Spiral Knights is?

more dead than ultima onlines=

So dead I didn't even remember it until now. That game was so fucking boring and grindy I could barely play it for an hour.

This.

It was nice they removed the pay to play aspect of the elevators and do some stuff, but then they added some kind of spirit familiars and I got bored of it. Good aesthetic, could have passed as a Bomberman clone if it wanted to.

Gremlins are fucking hot.

Three Rings and everyone else who worked on that game needs to be gassed.
Except the composers.

If I had a disgusted reaction image I'd post it. Female knights are cuter.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading all the original devs left years ago because they kept getting forced to work on shitty DLC.

So you're saying it was SEGA's fault?
That actually makes a ton of sense.

This is important.

how can one country ruin such an easy industry

I believe so. My memory is hazy but I played one of the very first public alpha builds. There were maybe 50 people on the server (which lagged the fuck out of it) and there was very little content, but at the time there were no hints of the energy bullshit they ended up pulling upon release.
I was excited when the game finally did release but then promptly had my heart broken because of the awful system they added.
