Thought of revisiting as i was up for a survival style game, saw it had quite a few players, but turns out it's a bait and switch from what's in OPs post.
I dont think anyone is challenging people enjoying the game, but they are challenging the devs lack of direction and neglect of the game, which i think is fair to do.
If those who work on the game said themselves they will pull the plug if things don't pan out, i think that's something people who DO like the game should be worried about, especially if they're hardly showing any signs of communication and throwing out hollow content.
This game still has a chance, but i think the team don't care anymore and want to move on to other games
