I think Black Knight is an appropriate term. At this point, I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s nothing the devs could do to satisfy the people who claim the game is ‘dead.’ They seem to latch onto any bit of news they can twist into something negative, almost as if they’re actively rooting for the servers to shut down. It feels less like constructive criticism and more like a personal vendetta against the devs, willing them to fail.

Don’t get me wrong—I’m not against critique. But when the goalposts keep shifting, or the demands become increasingly unrealistic, it’s hard to believe these critiques come from a genuine desire to see the game improve. It makes me wonder about the psychology behind it. Are they players who want to quit but feel ‘stuck,’ so they hope the game fails to force themselves out? Or are they just deeply unhappy people who want to spread that misery to others? It’s hard to say, but it’s exhausting to watch.
