A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

When I got into HLL back in 2021, it was a one of a kind experience of strong community, teamwork, and a balance of realism, strategy, and "arcadey" enough to not get boring. I am fairly concerned that T17 will not be able to maintain the games popularity / enjoy-ability going forward.

My hope is that they can turn it around, but knowing how modern game development goes from larger studios, it's not looking good imo.

Anyone who's lurking around here, I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you think the future holds for this game, whether it still has a chance or is really doomed.

Yeah, the original devs, Black Matter Studios, sold the game to Team 17 and are no longer working on the project. It's now completely run by T17 and the first few updates and trailers have been very controversial to the current player base. The player count has dropped significantly since the most recent updates over the last few months. Pretty upsetting, considering it is one of my favorite games.

What the hell, that sucks to hear. Never heard of a case quite like this before.
