Part 6/9:
The reaction from the community was swift and vehement. User reviews on Steam, where the collection is sold, have plummeted to an overwhelmingly negative 19%. Players expressed their outrage with words like "robbery," emphasizing how the game failed to meet even basic expectations of functionality and stability.
Aspire Media responded with a statement acknowledging the server issues, citing "critical errors with our network infrastructure" as the root cause of the problems. They claimed to be working on fixing these issues and improving network stability, but notably, they did not issue a formal apology or accept full responsibility. This lack of accountability further fueled dissatisfaction among fans who felt abandoned after spending their money on a failed relaunch.
