I go look up and woah, Squad is almost 10 years old, next year would be it if including EA time. seems received quite okay with recent reviews on steam. DLC seems to be cosmetics only, I guess they need those extra cash from community haha. I don’t remember the mod drama, but if that’s the case the modder can just sue them for sure. (I do know they bought the Australian faction from modder if remembered correctly. )
I do think the ST:E xp wipe is justified and they do manage to keep career xp/level. If not I’d settle with some unique title or decal that only EA people get before 0.7 for their contribution. I mean EA player are basically paying alpha/beta customers that are willing to tolerate big changes/crashes/issues if it’s better for the future release. I think ST:E and Helldivers 2 are fundamentally different games and ST:E is just really rough on the mechanics side(since it was a squad mod originally), I have hope as it’s always one of my fantasy to shoot waves of bug and climb over their bodies since the movie. And just 4 players with orbital strikes doesn’t really fit that scenario of squads getting thrown into meat grinder. (yes, I also wish they can support more > 16 players ) It would be fucking insane if we can play 100 players against thousands of bugs. Actually, I’d settle with 64 as the game mechanism and enemy spawn now can’t sustain that many players doing coop and many player would get nothing to shoot with. well, man can dream, :P
