I recently got banned by Medi the reason was stfu. Context I was questioning why resets were not enabled as many games end up skewed in balance. he said 'so people don't sit in lobby for 6 mins' and I replied but then one team would be stuck with no hope of winning for 15. and I was instantly banned for just pointing out an issue. no rude words no swearing just pointed it out and banned...

is it worth playing this game even tho the game is now no longer receiving updates in the near future?

i play this game all the time (24/7) and i am probably the biggest victim in the community. people talk ♥♥♥♥ and try to backseat game when i am just trying to enjoy my free time. often i have to educate people when they use the R slur or others and then they mute me and don't respect me. ladies skip this one, toxic masculinity is not going anywhere with these disrespectful incel agitators...

It seems to me that the only way NS2 has any chance at all of revival is for the game to become fully Free to Play. Thoughts?

yes
