All those bootlicker comments and WildCard sugarcoating the plug pull make me cringe
At least now on Single Player I have peace, space, mods and no decay times. As a solo PVE player I could use this retirement.
By the time I'm done with ASE a few years will have passed after the launch of ASA (not so sure about Ark 2) and there'll be much content online to check if either is worth purchasing.
