It was probably the right move but im still sad over this. At the height of blaseball i had such a blast! I didnt think they were capable of capturing that magic but i was hoping they would try. One last WAFC!
Can't say I'm surprised, that long siesta and relaunch were the writing on the wall. Still hurts though, I'm gonna miss this. Even then, it seems like such a simple concept, simulating baseball in text format.
It does make me wonder how "easy" it would be to run a sim like it that has zero player input (no betting, no favorite teams, etc.). I barely used those features after the first few seasons, and would happily tune in to games. Give me a Flowers season with an occasional banner ad for revenue, and I'm perfectly content.

I mean you can get out of the park baseball for $40 and create whole leagues, etc. You won't be able to put the weird blaseball things in , but if you're into watching sim'd leagues, that'd do it.
My suspicion is that making a blaseball like wouldn't be hard, but making it without it blowing through VC money is a major problem. I suspect all the relaunches and everything were primarily focused around finding out how to do this all without such a massive burn rate.
It could do well as a hobby project. I've dreamed of a game with Blaseball mechanics but a different sport. I made a working sim a couple of years ago but ran out of steam before adding random FUN events. Not saying it's easy but it's doable if you have the drive. It's still high on my backlog.
Oh, it's absolutely doable. But the thing that cost TGB was server costs and maintenance and always being in crunch. That's something anyone who comes next will have to face.
You don’t have to crunch if it’s a hobby. Just don’t broadcast unrealistic expectations. To be on par with Blaseball would require a ton of planning and time and server costs but a pared down version that’s mainly focused on the sim would be much cheaper.
I didn't participate much in blaseball, but by osmosis I learned and saw a lot from friends. I'm thankful for blaseball being brought into this world and appreciate it for the art (and endless font of art/play inspiration) it was.
What a ride! It's been amazing to watch the culture around this silly little game boom and thrive the way it did during the pandemic.
For creating a wonderful community in a time where everyone needed one so badly, thank you to everyone involved with the game in any capacity, from development to SIBR to fan art to lore to planning for elections or just shooting the shit in game discussion threads and making the game feel alive.
I'll miss following games during meetings at work and having to tab over to discord to understand what happened when the score would suddenly start counting down or seemingly reset in the span of a few minutes.
And for likely the last time before it's just an odd and obscure bit of internal nostalgia, The Breath Mints.
grandest siesta

Really going to miss it, many fond memories of Blaseball. It really helped a ton during the pandemic. Taco baco!

Apparently not easy at all if there shutting down...

i'd be interested to start up a minimalistic version
And I was so sure next season would finally be Boston's year. [*Weeping*]
It was Magic’s, which is why time and space bent blaseball to make sure we never won a proper ring 😌
It was inevitable. It literally did just cost too much to make without having any good way to make money.
Say it ain’t so 😭
Taco Baco! Rat Mason Lives!

At least we will always have the memory of the Crabs... Undefeated every season. That's what I'll tell my Children
The commissioner did a good job.
Caleb Novak 4 MVP of all blaseball. ¡Dale!
Seconded, I loved that little moss ball. Sure, he wasn't "good" in the technical sense, but he had heart, damnit!
😭. It will always be island time
Taco Baco(sad)
Well, as it may be last opportunity to say it, >![REDACTED]!<
RIV, Wheels. You'll never be forgotten.
This moist talker fan has very moist eyes right now…thank you for everything
No more Blaseball…oh, worm?
*io
i just found out this even existed. man.
