welcome back, it's been a while, old friend

I played Town of Salem 1 from the start, Same with 2. Town of Salem will be 10 in december.
And unfortunately. this game is too far gone for them to fix. It just snowballed and it was all yellow snow down that hill.

The game was fine at first even if it toned down the chaos and removed fun roles from the original such as reworking amnesiac, etc. But the problem was. the game catered *too much* to whiney content creators and the ranked players that made up a minority of the community. This is what inevitably lead to the low player counts. Town of Salem 1 players came over, didn't like it. So they had to make it free to play to boost player count. This was their first critical mistake. , Free to play did not end well for the first game and the developers knew that. After this the playercount still kept dropping now that abuse was happening very frequently with the free to play addition.

So. what did they do? Add fate tomes that are a paid feature that have an effect on gameplay. added a battlepass with recolored cosmetics. and absolutely doomed themselves.

I was hoping the new publishers that got the game would be a good sign, But for one, they cannot remove the microtransaction hell that was added to this game or else someone out there will complain. For two. Everyone who has prior experience with the team members of Digital Bandidos has shown that they are from infamous former jobs and groups. and that apparently. the icon for their team is AI art. Not only that but this group was JUST formed and immediately somehow acquired Town of Salem. The developers at BlankMedia had to have fell for a trick or something or just threw in the towel and gave up after consistently fumbling downward.

Many of my forum posts were in support of BlankMediaGames even during the layoffs. But the more i look into it. the more it looks like they fell for a trick when the game didn't succeed due to it not appealing to the majority of the original playerbase.
