"We weren’t trying to mislead you with earlier comments; our plans and overall intentions changed. So you're probably asking, why don’t we make these upgrades to the original ARK: Survival Evolved (ASE)? Frankly, it would not be viable. Many of the changes we’re making in ARK: Survival Ascended will touch a lot of aspects of the game; it’ll invalidate save data, some mods may not be functional, some things may not play the same way as they did before, and we didn’t want to change that experience for those who prefer it or are unable to upgrade."
I call BS someone has already upgraded their game to UE5 and had NO ISSUES whatsoever, on their private server...
So WC's train of thought or shall i say Snail games train of thought is ya lets screw over the majority of players and make them rebuy the game if they want to play on official servers.. Awesome job, i and many others will not be buying this load of dog sh*t your trying to sell.
also i find it funny how other companies were able to upgrade their games to UE5 with no issues whatsoever and DID NOT make their player base "rebuy" their game, no loss of saved data, nothing destroyed in the game.
Hmmm guess that 2.5 million wasn't enough from xbox? gotta still be greedy? Just sayin people call it like they see it.
