after 2 of the last 3 patches absolutely screwed the ICE connections making it impossible for players to play together
The changes to the ICE adapter have been reverted if I am not mistaken.
an absolutely terrible upgrade to the most played map on FAF, Dual Gap
You're still able to play an older version - just host yourself.
but the need to change things for the sake of change has killed the community.
The idea that we're doing this is just false. We have better things to do with our time than doing things for the sake of doing them. Like earning money with an actual job. Or go to friends / a significant other. Or just play the game.
Everything we do is to keep FAF alive - things change in the world and if we don't move with it then things will break over time. Brutus wrote a great blog post on this exact topic. I can really recommend it to anyone that feels the same.
