The game needs to be sped up - at least 2 x faster - that would lead to a much greater retention of newbies, leading to more people playing - which leads to more interest for everybody- including the owners i'd imagine.  I know most of the og's dont want the game to be faster but It's the only chance the game has of surviving imo. Personally i dont mind the current pace but I think I, and we, are in the minority if we were to poll the general public

This about sums it up. I remember thinking Vlad was just another windbag, which it turned out that he was. As an adult with a full-time job, I find it shocking that Mike spends as little time as he does on what's his main revenue stream. Sure, we've all had lazy days/weeks/months at work, but this guy has barely done anything to improve his game since 2013. Hell, the commentary for all fights function has been broken for like 6 years at this point and Mike still hasn't gotten around to fixing it. This game had a lot of potential, and parts of the player base has had the patience of saints, but it's been mismanaged into the dirt.

Has to be more to it than that because i'd assume Convicted arent the only ones doing that, yet they have the most success. They've figured something out 

I don't see what Belgian comic books have to do with this.

Asterisks everywhere.
