Atari and Cryptic anger the people who bought Star Trek Online at launch
So the Star Trek Online forums are getting ugly, and subscribers are upset. Cryptic and Atari reacted by deleting the threads criticizing them for their actions, and then created a new sticky thread to consolidate all the comments. Needless to say, this decision has made the subscribers even more angry, and Cryptic and Atari have yet to make a decision about how they are going to resolve this issue. Now in the interest of disclosure, I’m currently playing STO. The game is very rough around the edges, and still feels like a beta despite the fact that it was formally released a mere month ago. It’s disturbing to me as a player to see a “fire sale” level promotion so soon, and it makes me fear for the future of the game. Hopefully Cryptic/Atari will realize that they are really burning bridges with the players and make a decision similar to what Blizzard did when World of Warcraft was released with so many problems.
