    So unexpected! Who could have thought that making such an unique game would end like this?

    I mean, this is a shooter where people choose a hero with an unique loadout and set of skills and battle with therr team against another team of these heroes.

    We could call it… idk… Hero Shooter! I’m sure I haven’t seen a game like this before!

      The innovation of high guard is so profound that it’ll spawn a whole genre of games. They’ll copy everything, even the name, but they’ll use a thesaurus like high to over and guard to watch, that sort of cheap knock-off style of game you know? But gamers are too savvy for that kind of chump move.

    Personally they lost me at kernel level anticheat.

    I had a passing interest but no OS / box id sacrifice for that garbage.

    Aren’t coders a bit like construction workers, carpenters and electricians? You pay them to construct, and when it is built you just pay a few now and then for maintenance and repairs 🤔

      You’re being downvoted but this has been the reality for game devs for the industry’s lifetime. Only a few successful studios are able to have consistently employed devs and artists through multiple projects.

      The reality in this industry is that it is project based and when the projects ship, they fire a lot of staff. I left this industry precisely because of this factor a decade ago.

      I hope these devs and artists land on their feet quickly.
