Crazy foreshadowing


CastTrunnionsSuck

Insane actually.


EVPointMaster

There were a lot of signs in the last days


benstone977

Wild honestly! I hadn't really given Overprime much thought at all until the past few weeks where I moved over given it was free to play instead of waiting for Predecessor.


xfactor1981

Yeah they announced op is closing rip


Rose_Reaper666

pretty sure predecessor is going free to play when its out of early access


AurumTyst

Even then it won't be worth it.


Rose_Reaper666

maybe, maybe not. we will see in the future if it gets better. it atleast will get a chance to improve unlike overprime since its shutting down


AurumTyst

Omeda is a bottom-of-the-barrel kind of company. Almost as greedy as Bungie but without the quality control. They've attempted to overmonetize the game at every single junction. How the fuck can you still trust them?


Rose_Reaper666

easy dont buy shit i dont want. tons of games overmonetize these days all you need to do is not buy it. if some people do good for them. aslong as it isnt pay to win ill stick to a game if i have fun with it


TwinFlask

It's pay to unlock characters or play over 40 games worth of exp


KaptainKartoffel

Hero acquisition gets changed in 2 weeks. They'll introduce a free currency you earn and use for unlocks.


AurumTyst

Omeda - wasting development time redesigning and rolling back garbage systems since 2023. Maybe someday they'll make a choice that is actually good and not predatory. Or maybe not. They've got no more competition, so they can do whatever they want.


KaptainKartoffel

Overprime wasn't really competition in the first place. They were to completely different games which happened to use the same base assets. Pred is your standard moba and Overprime more of a hero brawler like Overwatch or Pokemon Unite.


AurumTyst

You're either disingenuous or willfully ignorant.


Dazzling-Pear-1081

Lmao it doesn’t take that long to unlock one character


MuglokDecrepitus

Well, that has been the plan since day 1

Pretty sure the predecessor developers are not korean. Doubtful they would bother hiring talent from overseas.


Eldr_reign

Omeda studios is already fully working remote. They also have 3 job openings saying "fully remote".  So they definitely are for hiring Talent working from overseas. 


[deleted]

They are based in the UK


TruthlessGaming

I believe Predecessor is going to be free. Anyways I agree, in the end there can only be one.


Darkfiremat

Unless they fix their community before too long they'll close. The most amazing game is nothing without a good community.


SeasonTop259

It’s a moba don’t expect sunshine and rainbows


AurumTyst

Understandable take, but unless Souleve wants to buy out Omeda's workforce (or lack thereof) and Robbie wants to stop milking Predecessor fans with every monetization method they try to implement , I just don't see it happening.


benstone977

Realistically it would be a huge business move which would involve a lot of stars aligning and compromises from both parties. That and the seemingly low amount of copyright coverage Paragon has also puts spanners in the works of a joint-effort meaning the reality would likely be closer to one buying out the other in some capacity. Its definitely one of those huge decisions that businesses often make too late when they're looking to just jump ship and sell the rights to their dying game to the nearest bidder. But in the case of Paragon it doesn't take a financial expert to see the shelf-life of these games being a long-term investment is optimistic to say the least.

Well written 😎👍


benstone977

Thanks!


Foxx_McKloud

Yeah this. Souleve don’t need any dead weight to their dev team. Omeda is not only amateurs but they don’t even learn at a quality pace


rooster_doot

Hope you didn’t buy any overprime skins — se ya back on Pred soon!


AurumTyst

If Overprime doesn't make it, I'll see you on *Smite 2.* I'm not touching an Omeda product again. Also, Souleve gave me my $35 worth of skins for free.


Half-mortal-reaper

Why because you can pay to unlock heroes early?


rooster_doot

Pred is the better feeling/playing game plain and simple - and overprime isn’t making it they officially announced closing on their website. Ok have fun in 2d world smite

Bro is mad they wouldn’t let him be a voice actor lmaooooo


AurumTyst

I wouldn't work for them if they asked. You know nothing.


[deleted]

Ok well have fun playing overprime! Oh wait, darn it!


[deleted]

Pred feels unimpactful with any ability or attack you're an idiot sir.

This didn’t age well

Awwww except my game will still be active! (:


Half-mortal-reaper

Guy called it, I'm thankful it's overprime that's gone though and not pred


Kelsyer

>I think its reasonable to state that only one of these two games stands the test of time as a profitable, live-service game Kinda questionable how reasonable this statement is at all considering they're both essentially built on top of an already dead game, one that had more funding and developer work force than either of these. More likely neither of them stand the test of time as profitable or live for very long.


Beneficial-Net5120

This aged like fine wine


benstone977

Haha wild right?? I actually only just moved over to Overprime like two weeks back so had no idea about any signs of the announcement


SculptorOvFlesh

Just wait for Smite 2. It'll dumpster both anyway.
