      i think 2k took a more time before shutting down 2k22 servers than what use to happen before 2k20, new game is coming out old game servers shut down 22 had 2 years m 1 year more than games did before the 2k20 mess i think its not a precedent 2k is opening, its just business as usual i guess

      I say it's bs. I personally don't hate my faction but at the same time I don't like it because of the exclusives that are locked behind the mode. If you unlock it in my faction then you should be able to use it in other game modes of the game. I hope they patch in all the my faction characters of 2k22 in to the base game of 2k22 before the servers are shut down for good. Same thing for 2k23 and so on and so forth

      Another issues is that when they shut down their servers all disc with codes like for deluxe version will most likely stop working and just like what they did with the other wwe 2k games they'll have them removed from stores for digital copies and all dlc which locks you out of having a full game and ruin the experience of having the full fun of the old wwe 2k games and in all feels like all they care in the end is your money and once they have it they just say fu on wanting to have fun with our old ones. And it's getting to the point that might have to boycott the company and make them lose money for being a ass to its fans who buy their products

      The servers for 2K22 literally have stayed online longer than any wwe games ever... before the 2K19/2K20 debacle, the games would release (for example. October 2017 and then close in May 2019)... 2K22 servers opened in March 2022 and are staying open until January 2024... So, old WWE games were open for 18 months while 2K22 is online for 20 months

      On playstation it was on sale, with the highest edition being roughly 60 dollars USD. I tried the free trial, and I couldn’t agree more. The reviews I’ve seen don’t show the full picture: it is basically 2k22 with some new arenas and roster change (although seeing a lot of the MyFaction drama with some characters being locked behind the gamemode in 2k23 really bothered me), while the servers are still up I’m downloading whatever I need in Creations and sticking to 2k22.

But yeah that's why I still have 2K 20 my system is because of Bray Wyatt cuz at the moment it is the only game that has the fiend Bray Wyatt and I was able to set up with the regular Bray Wyatt to come out with Luke Harper and Rowan and have the Bray Wyatt family entrance

    2k19 staying open so long was the best thing for wrestling games since GM mode. I’m still playing it because I had so much extra time to really perfect my roster.
    The issue is that people want to keep playing the old game because we don’t trust the new game to be better or even as good. There’s a reason for that distrust.

    I feel like most of this could be remedied with just a few changes, first adding in a local version of the image uploader so we can continue to create wrestlers long after the servers have been turned off, and whenever they release a pack for My Faction, release it as DLC to buy for the main game. Either way 2K and WWE are getting money be it through DLC sales or My Faction micro-transactions. Just those two changes would fix some of my biggest problems with 2K WWE games.

    I agree with your concerns. What they need to do is just stick with one game and add consistent DLC (reasonably priced), so they only have to have the servers up for one game at a time. Then, when they make a significant enough upgrade, then consider a new game. But, they likely make a lot more money this way, so i doubt it'll happen any time soon.

      I am starting to believe that somebody in the '22 roster had just left WWE this year, and this shutdown was forced because the wrestler requested that any game containing him should be discontinued as soon as possible. Selfish yes, but it couldn't be helped if renegotiations failed.

      I legit hate this mindset. Fortnite and NBA 2k have a completely different online model than WWE normally has. I know recently 2K has made things worse because of course they have, but for years the online features were just DLC, Matches, and Community Creations. Those are what people are mad about. Some of us don't wanna fight an A.I all day and we like to download wrestlers that aren't in the game. WWE games are known for getting worse every year, I shouldn't be locked out of having fun on 2K22 because they wanna push 23 and 24 which are probably just reskins/roster updates anyway. I get there's crappy online practices these days but not every online "feature" sucks.

    It's the same model Rockstar operates under, all the remasters they're doing lately even down to putting GTA V on Xbox Game pass essentially making it free then paywalling a whole bunch of cars behind a subscription service
    You're exactly right, it's a money funnel for their myfaction mode
    If you remember I was really vocal on this channel during early 22 and 23... I've completely stopped playing the game and won't be buying because there's absolutely nothing to do in the game besides grind myfaction... They somehow managed to turn my childhood escapism into a chore...
    I wish video game developers actually cared about making good games... Studios like 2k and EA are pure greed... Every year there's 50 more ways to spend "VC" and maybe one legitimately new "feature"

  • @thebigmck619
    @thebigmck619 8 місяців тому

    As mentioned the big issue with server closure is for caw makers and roster builders as when a software error loses your game save (and it will), you can't recover anything from the cloud because that relies on the servers running. Xbox don't save your game saves online if the servers close. After building a substantial roster of perhaps AEW or other companies wrestlers and downloading from great creators featured by Assemble, you lose everything with no server.
    The only back up to this is if you copied your game saves to an external drive but that doesn't always work either.
    I've lost complete rosters of caws when replaying older wwe wrestling games that develop a fault and servers are closed. Beware 😢😢😢😢😢

My 2k22 was new generation era because I had a bit more faith in what it could handle… 2k23 was my Ruthless Aggression game as it had so much RA content already…

    People need to hit these companies by boycotting their games and consoles. Money is literally all they care about so in order to force them to change you have to take away the thing that they want, our money. If people do not stand up to this these corporations will take more control away from the costumer. They will switch completely from physical copies to digital in order to take away options like buy used copies and the ability to trade in or resale the game. They will continue to release low quality unfinished games at higher prices if we continue to allow this predatory behavior. I'm the old man yelling at the clouds, been gaming for 40 years, I see that every year and with every new console the greed gets worse and worse.
