    Yep, the game is on the chopping block, all the CM's are laid off and 1Shot is trying to control the Forum although he is a troll. He also gets paid 240 gold per month in CC by GREE for being a "Volunteer" Forum Moderator. And yes the entirety of the GREE Forum is pretty much an anarchy now, it is the same as a school without teachers or anybody else except for the students. This is due to a loss, GREE doesn't care about us, they only care about profit and our money.

    Thanks for poping in Sirius, good to see at least one official person is still around.

    Changes are probably adding a lot to your workload. But it is fantastic to see that you've commented (which means that our posts are being read) on most of the recent threads.

    Saw on Gamasutra that as much as 66% of sf office laid off and that to say the source speculates gree is moving awa y from active game development and focusing more on publishing and outsourcing its QA efforts.

    Then they lay off employees for more money and repeat the whole process again and again until they become bankrupt knowing finally that they are a failure as a company.

    These were side projects of gree international, they are by no means going to go bankrupt. They could close all mobile games and still make a billion. They are not that small of a company with assets varying from anima (eg. Naruto) through to mobile gaming and app development work. With each department having to show it own profit, or....well the lay offs in sf is a good indication of what happens when a dept reports a loss or lower than expected income.

    Okay Guys,

    Just dropping by (touching threads like these are almost like stepping on verbal landmines so to speak) but the games are not going any where. Period. Good amount of folks are still here, hitting new directions that should stay true to your expectations (which should always be the case) in the end. <---don't want to debate that point as actions speak louder than some posting or article. You're the judge in the end.

    I as well as others, have let things sorta run it's course on the discussions on the recent news of things, but please stick to the forum rules, be respectful to each other and voice your concerns in a cool way that it should be. It goes the distance if you think about it.

    I sincerely hope not since our expectations are about as low as they can be.

    Sirius, I know that since you work for Sata.... er, Gree that you can't say anything negative towards them publicly. But stop and think about it. I know I won't get a response but you have to admit at least to yourself that Gree's actions are despicable and horrible and they do speak much louder than you or any other Gree representative that's ever posted on these forums. You know this. I know this. We all know this. And yes, we are the final judge and I think we've judged you as harshly as you deserve. The only thing keeping this game afloat right now are those Whales who are so deeply invested and/or addicted that they just can't stop.
