Hi-Rez try to make a correct management decision challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

I kinda miss Global Agenda sometimes. Fun 3rd person shooter.

Funnily enough, a few months back someone at Hi-Rez quietly spun up a Global Agenda server. You can actually go play it with your old account if you remember the login, but there's usually only like 10 people on at a time lol.

but there’s usually only like 10 people on at a time lol.

That's expected from a quiet "launch" and still needing old accounts. I don't even remember which email I used for mine

HOLY SHIT you have no idea how long I have been trying to remember this game. A cousin showed it to me when I was young and I loved it. Next time I saw him he'd forgotten, and I never could find it when I finally got a PC!

I can't believe it's been under my nose this whole time (Paladins fan) and it makes complete sense. Thank you for unlocking a core memory 🙏

Hi-rez suck though. They had a hit with tribes ascend, only to abandon it.

They had a hit with Paladins only to ruin it because they couldn’t create a game of that quality while meeting management deadlines

i dunno, i usually don’t mesh with mobas at all but i played the shit out of smite. that was years ago so egg on my face if they’ve made it terrible since, but i remember it being real fun.

They abandoned tribes in favor of smite.

Classic Hi-Rez

We chose to remove a lot of content people paid for in our live service game, by releasing a new game:2 which will be a new engine with no content for a new fee!

Yeah, sure thing Blizzar... really? Huh. Sounds a lot like ActiKiBlizz.
