The End is Near

Postby alex1234321 » Fri Apr 09, 2021 3:15 pm

After years of slow and painful decline, FM is extinct. I didn't think it would happen this fast and expected it to continue its demise until nobody was around to even fill a micro game. But FM is dead. Moreover, with each announcement, it seems more and more likely that BMG is moving on and releasing a new game, which could result in them completely abandoning ToS. It can't be a mere coincidence that these things are happening at the same time. ToS as we know it is all but dead, so let's enjoy the last few weeks we've got.

It was once foretold that cob will stop the apocalypse, cause it or both. Maybe it's his time to play his part?

Feels like I killed it considering I only returned a few months ago. But there are like 20 people who came back recently who can make the same claim

Yeah I've been playing a bit recently after years and there's never really anymore than 1500 concurrent users on even at peak times. I get the game changed from a freemium model, but they're just bleeding players at this point. BMG didn't exactly cover themselves in glory throughout but the fact the game's been able still be here in some capacity after 7 years is just about the only positive thing I can say about them.

Honestly, it's a shame. ToS didn't even hit anywhere near its potential. Look at other social and deceit games like Among Us. BMG were just a bunch of guys looking to get the bag from kickstarters, aggressive mtx (ugly cosmetics) which made them complacent in the development of the game and also critical core issues like security (2018 data breach)

They did make a lot of money for just a couple of dudes in their 20s off a game that was supposed to be just indie, I'll give 'em that.

Hello. It just happens by I decided this 1 day to log in after like two years of absense :D I am not dead, yes! Although I dont think anyone even remembers who I am over here, I for sure am not recognizing most of the names

I don't think FM dying was much of a fault of anything other than that there are just easier-to-set social-deception games that people enjoy. FM seems like a lot of work to set up at times when you and your 9 friends can just hop on a good, live-action game (you know which one I mean :D) that has similar feel to it. In the prime of FM, FM was the better of only two available social-deception games. Now you have a plethora of available options.

I still think FM has a potential, but the community that made it what it was is probably mostly gone. FM is in many ways like DND - and like DND, it appeals to a specific kind of player. If you don't have enough of them attending the forums regularly, there is not much of a chance of FM continuing on. Part of a reason I logged on today was actually to come check up on the FM and FM community. I have fond memories. If what you say is true, Im sad with you.

I gotta say I admire those who stuck around. I did for a long time but at one point, I jumped ship and never looked back.
Away in the real world most of the time, but I return from time to time, at my own whim.
