Huge W. Maybe the Stop Killing Games campaign, combined with some very real market realities, will save more games like this from companies with the liberty to do so. Unfortunately, it sounds like multiplayer will likely still depend on Steam servers rather than supporting LAN (I'd be happy to be proven wrong), but this is way better than the game just dying.

Whelp. The MMO lite aspects are what made me interested.

Is there anything that was there before that is for sure not going to be there now as a result of this?

No more matchmaking/lobby's. No more in-game store/MTX/battle pass Only solo/peer to peer/local game.

No, I meant things that people would miss. I guess matchmaking fits that bill, but we'll have to see what it looks like outside of direct invites once this new version exists. Each platform provides free matchmaking services, so I'd be surprised if it didn't exist at all.
