      So we are looking at losing ASA. The first play snail has, is a reverse split. It would bring their share price back up to over $1. If they fail to meet the requirements and hold them, then Snail will no longer be traded publicly and removed off the Nasdaq. The shares will then be traded as OTC stocks (pink sheets). Once that happens, its reflected as a failed company and more than likely lead to bankruptcy. Snail's contract allows them to own licensing rights for $2m per month while only having a bankroll of $24m and more than likely exclusive only to snail. So in the event say another company were to buy snail, it would probably void the contract. So it seems to me that in every scenario I can think of, we will be losing ASA and probably won't see Ark 2 neither. As per the contract, once Ark 2 gets released then ASA will no longer be operating. If we lose ASA before Ark 2 comes out then we lose that also. Asa is funding Ark 2.

      I lean towards this way of thinking too , but as long as it ends up not costing us fans the game and future content that has been paid for.
      I do feel like ark was probably ahead of its time so was actually kinda happy that they were going to bring out asa, especially as a console player.

    It's well deserved with how Wild Card handled ASA. They've shown for years now they don't care about the official Ark servers and the player experience. The best thing would be for the Ark to continue to fail and maybe someone will buy the IP. Wild Card & Snail will never make the game into what it should be. Ark needs to die before it can be improved.

    In my opinion, what they should do to fix their mess is forget everything, map launches, mods, new creatures etc, and just focus on optimising the game so that people can play it properly. Then they should focus on the maps and the rest of content they want out.
    Aberration is a beautiful map but if they don't optimize the game before this map is out I don't think it will be very playable, aberration is a map that is very demanding on your PC or console components

    Look, I get this is a video game company and they need money. If they had kept releasing dino packs, expansions, more content etc. on ASE, I would have gladly continued supporting them that way. I bought all the ASE expansions over the years, even the ones I didn't like much (Genesis) to support the game and the devs that brought me so much enjoyment.
    But ASA wasn't new content. It was a total rehash of old. It felt insulting. It felt a little bit like a betrayal, to be honest. I felt like an idiot for supporting Wildcard all these years because they apparently think their players are idiots and will pay for the same game all over again. So I was checked out of ASA the moment it was announced.
    And I'm glad I did. With horrible optimization, delay after delay, paid mods, microtransactions, and a very real chance the company goes bankrupt, I feel like I dodged a bullet.
    Seriously, if they announced a creature pack of the ASA-voted creatures would be paid DLC for ASE tomorrow, I'd buy it. I'll buy new stuff. But I'm not repurchasing what I already own.

    Breaking news: greedy money grubbing company is receiving blowback and suffering financially for forcing players to re buy a game they already own, taking profits from the mod creators, and missing release dates. All while making the playability of the game marginally better while leaving many game breaking bugs and adding more into the game.

    Hopefully snail games out the way wildcard might get there act together with the new publisher. Weekend events 3x taming 2x taming whatever. Yeah fine but they reduce the dino count by a third and render range goes from 230 to 40 metres. Every update I have to reinstall every official mod. Clean glass. Power rangers etc etc. These are issues that should not be arising in a game like this. Ark is great, we love it and we hate it. But ark truly can be spectacular but they need fix issues and fix whatever there doing that's creating the same issues every time. They also need more servers. Temp isn't good enough for overflow when they should be accommodating enough spaces for there player base. Then they delay maps but don't extend temp servers. No chibis on proper events. :'(. The colours from summer bash are found on normal mode so only actual good thing about that is double rates. But currently I say they need bin asa and bring evolved back. Minus graphics evolved was better.

    it's interesting to see how many people think they know something about businesses just because they're mad they don't get what they want
    no, they would not make more sales if they stopped working on content rather than fixing the game. i too want the game to work properly, but let's not confuse wanting things with knowing things.
    whether you like it or not, fixes don't generate money, or not as much as content would. and if it's content that's not even time-consuming to produce, that's even better financially.
    that is the big issue we have, you may think people don't play it because it's in bad condition, but that mostly applies to those *WHO ALREADY BOUGHT THE GAME*
    the ones who didn't buy it mostly did so because of the lack of maps, there isn't even a single actually popular map out on ascended yet. nobody played island, SE and even center was not popular later down the line with ragnarok, valguero, fjordur and co popping in.
    and just to be clear, player counts don't generate money, sales do. if you bought the game and reached the point-of-no-return for a refund, that's a win for them.
    and that's also why i think that especially those issues affecting players lategame aren't being addressed for months, or even at all. because those couldn't refund anyway lol
    now don't get me wrong, i'm not defending them in any way that's still fucking scummy to do, just wanted to throw this out there

      What do you mean with "work properly"? People play on 1000+ player clusters easily and the issues are minor. ASA runs fine, many youtubers have completed The Island with very few issues. I run it fine, all 3 maps, with minimum issues.
      It is a huge issue that many ARK players have PvP ini oriented gaming rigs, not really strong enough to really PvP or run massive bases in ASA, so they simply cannot play. That takes out a big portion who are forced to stay on old ASE or just go to other games.

    In my personal experience with games, the playercount is mainly because there are People that Absolutely LOVE the later maps that the game has. I am one of them, but I just love ASA graphics. The other issue is how beefy the game is. on a 3050 on med, I was getting just over 30fps. I upgraded to a 3070, and now have 40-50 fps, but ALL other games got DOUBLE frame rates.
    Being an IT Tech also, I can say that most ppl are still on cards ranging from 2070 to 3080s, the 4090s (that are needed for full experience) are WAY too expensive for most of us. 2000+$ for a card is insane. The third and main issue is SnailGames.... Wildcard needs a new "Boss" and if that doesn't happen, then Yes, definitely, They will bring this game down with them...
    If these issues can be rectified before everyone looses interest completely with ASA, and if they keep bringing up new maps I think it will be just fine. oh, well I think youre right with the comments you made that coincide with my comment lol

      They only brought the updated maps to Ascended. Evolved got cut off from official servers ( they could not afford to run both). They “upgraded” (copy and pasted) the code into UE 5 then slapped a price tag on it. Ark 2 was a pipe dream wish that had zero concrete work going on and was just a carrot to sweeten the deal.
      Strange how you can make paid mods and pay for them along with all these dumb cross over shit all work perfectly even if clunky. Yet they don’t optimise the game as a whole.

    I think it was also a very big mistake to give the server rights to Nitrado because that meant a lot of players left ASA because you still can't play properly on a Nitrado server because the servers have problems almost every day or with every update and then cannot be reached for days. They are completely overwhelmed by this.🙄

    Snail has 180 days to get the stock price at $1.00 or higher. Must be maintained for at least 10 consecutive days. Various strategies could be used to attain a higher price. These strategies are not always the best thing to do long term. If delisted snail could still trade on the over the counter market but that means higher transaction fees. Stock holders will not lose shares if delisted. Ark is a very good game and could be sold. This is likely not the end of Ark.

And don't just focus on ASA, it's probably going to be 5 - 6 years before technology catches up to be able to play ASA without crashing, and be readily available to large portions of the player base. Afterall there's a reason ASE still has like 65% of the overall players between the two.

As much as it sucks...... it seems to me like ASA is more of a test with the unreal engine tech and new consoles to hopefully get it right for Ark 2. Now i could be wrong but thats the way it feels to me. And as frustrating as it is if the community adopts that mindset that its a test game for them to get it right for ark 2 then it becomes easier to stay with it and be a little more understanding and more curious how the game is going to grow
