A lot of you guys are judging the game based on the community and the past. Everybody edits without drama is a great game.
Without a community with which to play other people's levels and share your own, what is EE?
I'm saying that EE with only the neutral community (the people who just play levels and never really talk) is a great game. Drama is never, ever good for a game's success.
How do you measure success? Because EE's numbers are terrible. And numbers don't lie.
But when you always keep looking to numbers you will never succeed :/

Ok, how about you go find the most successful businesses in the world and ask them if they care about numbers? I don't know where you get this misconception. I mean I suppose it all depends on how you measure success. Maybe some people just want to make a game that they love, but that's really really rare. Most people who have pride in their work end up caring what other people think about it. And when that happens, you have to look at numbers, because it's objective and it gives you an idea of how many people enjoy what you have created. For some reason, that gets associated with a lack of passion, but that doesn't make any sense. It just shows that you want your work to be enjoyed by as many as people as possible. People who make something and then don't bother trying to refine it to perfection are the ones who lack passion imo.

Well that's bs because when EE was first created, it didn't have chat for a long time and it didn't even have usernames either. It's a game, you can socialise somewhere else. And lots of people do.

I have not, but like I said, you could easily chat with blocks, besides, building with others counts as socialisation

yeah thats totally what benjaminsen had in mind when he made the game, oh let me make a tile based chatroom where people can have painfully slow conversations by writing words with blocks, people are gonna love that!

Blocks that you had to get using energy which you could only use small increments of at a time, or buy the blocks immediately for the price of some gems.

You can't just ignore the votes and say what's the right decision. Why did we all vote then? There's also no reason shutting down the game right now.

"The game has lived for too long" or "Many people are leaving" aren't good reasons to shut it down because I still see people playing and enjoying the game. There are still some staff members left who can do something. I also don't understand how you guys want the forum to stay alive while it's a part of EE. Only the off-topic subforums would stay.

azurepudding · 2017-12-28 23:25:48

just because you don't want to play it anymore, doesn't mean others who still enjoy the game can't. If you don't want to play anymore, then simply stop playing.

Minimania, cools

i agree he only or she wants to be famous and have attention and also i don't want the game to die but if it does it isnt because of ignorent people who don't care people don't want it to die
