SuperRiot Clan Leader | PGW Veteran
Hey guys, JustLeafy here and a few days ago, I have discovered that somebody has exposed the PGW team in the forums of the PG Wiki. His name is VendettaVisionGuy, a PG Wiki staff member, all credits go to him, as I did not initially describe the theory, but he did. That's what this theory describes:
"Pixel Gun World. A good game that could be compared to other underrated Steam games in terms of general gameplay and developer generosity. Something unlike PG3D, the game it was ported from.
Then, June 10th, 2016 came. The game completely crippled without any prior announcement. Everybody was devastated. Some really want the game to come back. However, I doubt it will come back. Why?
THE ENTIRE GAME WAS A SETUP JUST FOR RILISOFT TO GET MONEY.
You want to hear theories?
When PGW was first released, 3D was in a deadly state. PG3D became a rigged game built with greed. RiliSoft was getting money over their past respect during the pre-8.3.0 days. They turned to the dark side. They wanted to get money by rigging PG3D. But this clearly wasn't enough if they needed extreme amounts of €€€. Practically, this is my paradigm on the backstory of World.
RiliSoft was a company with 7 employees before PG3D was made. As 3D grew, they needed more employees to keep the game going. With the amount of money they earned before were added, they hired a new set of employees to work on PG3D. The old employees were called in to work on a new game to cater for bigger gaming communities. Knowing all the good things implemented into PG3D, they had to sample that information into World. A few different features to properly cater for the PC gaming community, and bam. Done and done with the development of the closed beta, and they were already receiving cash. The game didn't even need a Kickstarter. People found the game better than PG3D, and were fine with spending their money, since the game was already worth a free download.
A year into PGW, RiliSoft never cared about the state of PG3D, since the more experienced developers behind World helped them escape bankruptcy. When they received more than enough money, their plan 100% succeeded. They closed it down, ran away with everyone's money, and don't even bother bringing it back anymore, since PG3D is slowly turning into PGW, only trashed.
So this is where I end this theory. Is this theory something good or a bag of bullets? That's where you guys come in."
The theory may be true, and may actually be the real reason why PGW is down. But no one will ever know for sure why they shut it down. But to me, RS seems to try to definitely escape bankruptcy, and in a sneaky way, steal as much money from us as possible by making more scammy IAPs. Who knows if RiliSoft's future plans are to make the game even more P2W? What do you think guys?
