I understand why some people are angry and I understand why some people support WC reasoning for this choice
" We believe right now is the time to be respectful and hear the voices of others"
And I also understand that no matter what anyone says in the comments of this nothing is going to change their decision. We all know that WC are NEVER known for getting any kind of update out on time for whatever reasons they give you, and we don't know whether that reason is true or not, but I don't see anyone demanding them to ensure truth, I don't see anyone going to stop playing ARK because of it, all I see are veteran players complaining about something they were already aware of, and new players following suit. Regardless of whether the reason they've given is the real one or not, they've made their decision and what I am gonna do is wait and be patient, ARKs not the only game I play.
