In the latest update for Space Marine 2, Saber Interactive has responded to criticism regarding its community events, which many players found stressful. Following the community’s feedback on these events, the developers aim to assure players that they are not transitioning into a full live service model.
Key Updates:
- Saber acknowledges that the recent community events have been poorly received, generating feelings of ‘FOMO’ (Fear of Missing Out).
- The developers stated, “We are not looking to transform Space Marine 2 into a full live service game.” This message is intended to alleviate player concerns about monetization strategies and gameplay content restrictions.
- Future cosmetics will remain accessible beyond the time-limited events, addressing frustration among players who felt pressured to participate.
- Saber is revising the unlocking processes to make them less burdensome, ensuring players can enjoy the game without the stress associated with limited-time offers.
Quotes from the Community:
“It isn’t a live service, but loves to throw around live device terms like ‘season’ and ‘road maps,’” says a community member, highlighting confusion among players. “Players don’t like limited time cosmetics… it’s straight-up manufactured scarcity,” another added, noting the negative impact of FOMO elements.
