    Clark’s apology came out 2 years too late. His decision to turn to NFTs, which were already in the downward spiral at the time, left an extremely sour taste in my and many other’s mouths. I don’t blame the developers at all as it was clear they cared deeply about the game but instead I’m bitter about the way they handled the shutdown. It was very poorly done and felt like they didn’t care about the community they had built up. Myself and many others had faith in the game becoming something great but a combination of poor business practices and Covid destroyed that chance.

    Apology until now? Because nfts died? And after all that unprofessional and disrespect towards your player base? No, I won't take that apology. I just hear excuses and excuses of his wrong doings. I would write pages about why I won't take that apology, but I'm too busy for that. And I'll agree with you, toxic players do not represent the entire feral community, and I dont support that. but neither will suport clark bad desitions that led to his down fall.

    I don't buy any of that 'apology' , as a former Feral player. I was through a lot of it. I wanted to see it grow, there was no communication. And folks who were criticizing Cinder were also silenced. They jumped on the NFT hype train and were hardly breaking what.. 50 dollars a day? They closed the discord down, closed the website down. Feral wasn't going to return, I don't believe they had any intention of having Feral return, they wanted Cinder, they started trying to make it appealing to an adult demographic, but not just any adult, -wealthy- adults. The tokenized Fae are STILL up for sale. And then they went quiet on Cinder and vanished. The last 'CinderNFT' post on twitter was in December 2022, and they were teasing minotaurs to the NFTbros.
    You couldn't even play Cinder without purchasing one of these NFTFae, which were quite expensive. It was not a game intended for everyone. It was a money gatekept clone of Feral.
    And like Cinder. They burned it all away.

    I don’t believe that cinder was anything more than a cash grab. I don’t trust that this apology is sincere. If it was it would’ve come out when Feral shut down. Companies only go silent like that when they know they’re in the wrong and they just hope it blows over, and when it inevitably doesn’t they make a shitty apology that’s really just a shitty defense.

    this is actually an okay apology! if it was released 3 years ago that is.
    jk, it wouldn't, he wouldn't even need to write this in the first place if they handled the situation well from the start 💀💀 if only they had better communication with the playerbase i guarantee that people wouldn't be this mad even if the game ended up closing anyways
    a perfect example is feral's last day, the game was supposed to be open for a last 24h, but then someone pointed out that in their OWN terms of service they needed to give an 1 month's notice before closing the game, so they postponed the last day for a month and REDUCED the time the servers would be open to only around 10h, i wasn't even able to play the game a final time because it was way too late in my timezone, my avatars are now lost media because they just couldn't be bothered to let the servers open for a little longer
    and why? because they were petty that someone pointed out their own mistake? were their servers way too overloaded or something? we will never know because they didnt communicate anything!

It’s a shame this beautiful game that had so much potential got shut down for some crappy NFT game, worst decision they have ever made. I was there when feral came out, and I was there when it shut down. I am still heartbroken that I will never get to play this game again, it was one of the last online MMOs (like the ones from the 2000s) that we ever got…Feral deserves better.

    But since we will not be getting the game back and Clark seems content to not get involved much with WW (he's doing other things now and if he wants to chase after NFTs it's on him, he stepped down from the big role), I think this is the best we'll get. It sucks and is kinda weird, but it seems he's aware he's not going to win anyone over and a part of me hopes that him releasing this years later is better than pretending nothing happened, that he knows he screwed up to some degree. Some of the insight on the lack of communication and self reflection on the fact he screwed up with handling the Cinder announcement situation is at least somewhat welcome.
    Nothing we can do but move on I suppose. Still a really flawed apology and I'm not accepting it but at this point it's been years and my bitterness is spent. I just hope we don't cross paths with him in the future.

    I can accept that he intended to do it to save feral, but I can't forgive him turning to NFTs of all things, which are notoriously bad for environment because of how the blockchain works, to fund a game about the beauty of the natural environment. It's hypodritical and comes off in poor faith to me and many other people who were fans

  • @seraphimsymphony
    @seraphimsymphony 5 місяців тому +3

    This is just pathetic, to be quite frank. An apology 3 years late to follow the downfall of a failed NFT project is not an honest one. We are given this apology due to the failure of Cinder, and due to the mass amounts of players that Wildworks has lost following Ferals shutdown. If this apology was even slightly earnest, we would've received it years ago, and we would've been communicated with. For these details to be given YEARS after the incident is beyond ridiculous. We deserved these explanations at the time that everything was happening. I can almost assure you that if everything said here was 100% the truth, we would've been told long ago. There's no reason to withhold that information unless it was fabricated, and only needed to be fabricated after their losses. Cinder lived on after Feral was completely rid of. If Cinder had been solely for Feral to ensure its success, then it would've been rid of alongside our beloved game. I think sending him death threats were certainly overboard, but he does not deserve an ounce of respect or sympathy. It is his own fault that the community reacted in such a way. He didn't communicate. That is his fault. Not to mention that following boycotts and the refusal to buy anything from Feral is when our game had been shut down. It was a retaliation. That is his fault, for being upset with the community for being upset with HIS lack of communication. Everything that has happened is the result of his own negligence. He included the threats he received as pity points so that his apology would be accepted. This apology is a poor attempt to bring back players that were lost, and to rid the community of the anger that they STILL deserve to feel.

    didn't wildworks also make fun facts in animal jam regarding the environmental and energy costs of NFTs? lmao
    they're not even trying to hide the fact they're only in this for the money, willing to can entire games just to make crappy NFT clones of it. and then of course when no one buys it they come crawling back asking to be forgiven. i never got to play feral, but the fiasco was still depressing to watch.
    also, word of advice, don't overuse sound effects when you're showing multiple small images of a paragraph you're already talking about. personally makes it hard just to listen to, and more like one must *watch* the video despite it being text and no important visuals (i.e, video clips of the topic)

  • @TailsClock

    "We should have treated cinder players with respect" don't even try to pretend that was a problem. Cinder was never "necessary". It was a gamble that ended poorly. It was ALWAYS the wrong decision. And no-one who called Cinder out for being a problem should ever feel guilt. They were RIGHT. Cinder split the community, Cinder took the development team away from Feral. Cinder made the company look like they were only in it for the money. Never ever place blame on the fans who were given a lack of information and explanation. The fans are fully and entirely innocent of blame. You might say "What about the person who sent the death threats?" to which I say, it's odd how EVERY drama supposedly has someone sending death threats, yet no-one is ever named for it. Why? Because this is a lie companies make up to garner sympathy. It's a cliche tactic to twist the narrative.
    Edit: I just read the other comments and I did not expect to see not a single person accept this apology. I'm glad! But surprised. People have really gotten smart if no-one's falling for this. Really really great to see such a mature community that isn't going to back down to a greedy creator. I wish every community was like this so we'd have less predatory games still active.

    This is how I expanded and fixed Puppy In My Pocket series in my Puppy In My Pocket fanfiction series 💖🐾💛🐾🧡🐾
    1) animal characters live in the same world as human characters
    2) all of the animal characters are small and cute (all of the animal characters are the same size as each other (all of them are 31.75 cm tall), plus all of them have large anime eyes and human like facial expressiveness, the only thing that differentiates them is their animal species, as there are both well known species and lesser known species, plus there are more than just one member of the species)
    3) all of the girl characters have the same extreme hourglass figure as each other and the exact same cup size as each (all of the girls have 35-25-35 bust-waist-hip ratio and the C cup size, the only things that differentiate them are hair colors, eye colors, skin colors, hairstyles and clothings)
    4) all of the boy characters have the same body type as each other (all of the boys have 35-25-24 bust-waist-hip ratio and lean athletic build with medium sized defined muscles, the only things that differentiate them are hair colors, eye colors, skin colors, hairstyles and clothings)
    5) all of the characters that are animalistic deities in the original versions of their stories are now just as humanoid as the other characters (the only things hinting at their animal inspiration are their hairstyles that look like attributes of animals they are based on, for example, Bastet has buns that look like cat ears and a braid that looks like a cat tail)

Give them a lil reward dependin' on how much they donated in the future as a thank you for donating. Then keep to yer word, implementin' features that ye explained to the players that ye wanted to add to the game. This builds trust. Plus it keeps yer game up and runnin'! No! That simple solution was too hard! Ye had to go and try to rip people off with NFTs. All because clark was stupid, impatient, and greedy. While I don't remember the shutdown.

    Even IF you guys don’t accept the apology (your opinion is completely valid❤) I never got into feral much, but, I’d say, even if you cannot accept the apology or get really mad at them enough to send death threats(which was NOT how you should EVER handle that issue) no one should have gotten harassed, I understand the anger, I would have been upset in your shoes, I did send harassing items in the past to content creators that were bad, but I realize my mistake a bit later, don’t harass anyone of this, even if you feel an apology is fake, harassing someone is no way to go, please don’t harass anyone in this and times were a little different, with the circumstances I understand why a few things had to be done, but the cinder thing was not so great in the long run, to the people who did enjoy cinder, I apologize you had to be harassed by people like this, even if I never knew what was happening, you still didn’t deserve it. To the staff getting death threats you didn’t deserve it either, though. The apology was too late and everyone deserves their own refund. there is a healthier way to express your anger toward the team, like talking to someone you know and who knew the community about your feelings.
    Don’t go harass anyone, no matter how much you feel you should, don’t.
    It’s not worth your time or energy, don’t send death threats or anything over being so mad about the game or anything. That’s my say on this situation, have a good day/night/evening sweethearts ❤
