Once upon a time there was this really fun game I used to play, Invincible Armada. Super cool sea battle game, big map, lots of different things to do in this game, it was never boring, until... Kabam took over the game. Things that were free now cost money. No free chest, no free replacing ship parts, all the fun things were removed by Kabam and the almighty dollar. The game was destroyed, it was only a matter of time before it died. When they took over NOTHING was done to maintain/enhance the game, bugs never fixed, no new content etc. Why take over a game just to ruin it? That is the real question. Tax benefits? Probable so. Once they destroyed the game there was nothing else to do but pull it. They don't care about how much time, money and effort you put in to it. They don't care about your passion for the game. Why am I posting this here you ask? Well, first of all Kabam shut down 4 games that had many players almost a year ago. One game even had a petition for it to stay open. Here is their heart warming announcement.

Notice the reasons WHY these games were shut down:
1. Why is my game shutting down?
While the game was enjoyed by a great community of players, it just wasn’t as successful as we had hoped and the decision was made to discontinue support for the game.
So, for example. They took over my game, monetized it to the max and people quit playing. Gamers fault? No! Greeds fault? Yes! The game was wonderful until Kabam took over. No support, I think I know where this is going....
THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT!
3. Why can’t Kabam just leave the game up as it is?
There are a number of things that go into maintaining a game beyond keeping the power running. Addressing issues, developing content and providing support are important components as well, and we feel those resources can be better served building and supporting Kabam’s existing and new titles.
Sound familiar? They don't address issues, they don't develop new content, support is non-existent. They let so many bugs exist, update with more bugs until its unsustainable. Customer service is nil, they won't give you anything and it's just some pixels on your phone. They will call you a liar, give you the run around and close your ticket. Too much time and resources to fix problems that should have been addressed to start with. Unlike other companys, they don't care about how much fun, enjoyment you get from playing. Only your cash, nothing will be done about the games issues. They only want to keep you hanging on, hoping things will change. They won't. Nothing will be fixed, nothing will change, except one day,when it is dead. Wise up, this game is in it's last breaths... Quit spending your money with this company! You've been warned!
