Announcements and discussions regarding Huwhyte KF2 HoE+ and CD servers

So, imagine that, 100+ headcount gamedev studio named Tripwire Interactive was making a game in 2023-2024. Salaried wagies who have to be paid every month at least no matter the performance. They hoped to start selling their product to pay their salaries, office space rent, computers and have extra to secure their future.

The capital funds management firm, who financed the effort, stood behind salivating, expecting a significant return on their investment. The game was the next installment in a relatively successful franchise, which was going to come out backed by the good reputation of the previous installments.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are at the stake. Nobody wants to lose them.

All meanwhile almost every fan (except [ScrN]PooSh, who is retarded) knew back in the day they were making a DoA game that was going to inevitably flop. Some of these fans, in hopes to talk some sense into the studio, put some effort into composing various content trying to convince the studio to replace their retarded creative director Bryan Wynia with someone less deluded and get the project back on the right track. One of them is your community hero "oleggurshev", who posts on KF sub such content. A good example is this meme:

I reported on it back in 2024 here:

In a sane world you would expect the other fans, the studio, the KF sub moderators to cheer the effort. Nobody wants the studio to lose money in vain. Everybody wants them to make a good game. We can play it, they can earn money, it's a win-win.

Of course, this wasn't what happened, LMAO. The studio made sure they shield themselves from any negative feedback through mass bans and mass censorship, and their lackey and bootlicker AnoobSniper, a literal nobody impostor with zero contributions to the scene, who just so happened to become a KF sub moderator, played along with this agenda and was busy deleting the user content and banning fans from the sub.

Oleggurshev was banned for this meme and the topic was deleted, despite receiving record breaking upvotes and comments.

Now, everyone, except full ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, admits the game "underperforms". It dawned even on retarded PooSh by now. This is a politically correct word for a failure. The question is, was it preventable? Yes it was. All they had to do is to take the negative feedback into account. It was as easy as that not to waste literal hundreds of millions of dollars. One literally could have avoided losing hundreds of millions dollars by simply reading this blog or paying attention to what's deleted in the KF subreddit. What did they do instead? Rhetorical question.

Anyway, to show how right the fans were, I decided to quantify this meme and here's the result:

All these are negative things about the game and oleggurshev was right on 18 on them, while being wrong on mere 5. Note, that some of them are knowingly false, like, there was no way the game on release would weigh 150 GB, but they were put there merely to laugh about the extreme nature of these claims.

Well, this is how one goes bankrupt. This is how one wastes hundreds of millions dollars. This is how one keeps digging after finding themselves in a ditch. The sunken costs fallacy. And, of course, KF subreddit moderator AnoobSniper took part in it. TWI official "community managers" took part in it. TWI management, specifically Alan Wilson and Matthew LoPilato and their tool Bryan Wynia did it to themselves, consciously. These people can never make anything of value, all they do is ruin what others build.

It's amazing how many such easily preventable losses happen in this world. A couple of words said and taken into account in a critical time literally can save hundreds of millions dollars. Not the case here, LMAO! All is lost, hahahaha!
