Comment on Dead Cells Co-developer Evil Empire Officially Ends Its Support Of The Roguelike Platformer

I hate that the narrative on this type of thing is “developer ends support” instead of just “developer feels the game is done and won’t keep adding content forever.” Games shouldn’t need to be constantly updated forever, and headlines like this seem a bit manipulative - trying to equate “developer is done with a game” with the actually bad “developer of live service game decides to shut down servers so nobody can play.”

Games need to be done at some point. Roguelikes are great for little updates adding things over the year, but at some point it becomes too much. Dead Cells is great, and it still would have been great if they stopped after their 1.0 release.
