And it definitely did no favors for the game or for its overall perception. This was so hopelessly upsetting, unnecessary, and messy.

Phantasy Star Online 2 launches in the West on the Windows Store Is it a coincidence that this happened right before a whole lot of Kickstarters thought they could make an MMO? Probably, but it’s still funny.ģ. Basically, what I’m saying here is that impostor syndrome is a lie and apparently anyone can do anything. Somehow a company that is presumably staffed by professionals had fewer backups for an actual entire game. I have never forgotten this because how does this happen? I have multiple backups of the files on my computer, and most of those files are Transformers comics I bought off Humble Bundle, RPG rulebooks, image memes, and save games. Hangame accidentally deletes M2 altogether I feel like at face value alone this looks pretty damning, but when you consider that this game is supposedly being managed by the same person who has teamed up with Richard Garriott for a crypto scam, it gets even worse.

I do not envy the people who are trying to deal with the game when things go wrong, much less the times when servers are full to capacity and queues are long. There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to game development and coding and all that stuff. I’ve gone on record multiple times to state that when you get right down to it, MMOs look pretty darn complicated.
