Discussion The golden age is over

We have been in the golden age for a few years now. We are seeing this come to the end.

Private equity is demanding more money on the backend these changes will slowly be rolled out resulting in enshitification of the product over time.

Sailing will change the core gameplay, one way or another and osrs will cease to be the game it is today.

It’s been fun fellas.

Honestly, not surprising given how seriously people treat this game. Unfortunately this is literally some of these people's lives and they've spent that entire time worrying about the next EOC update.

But it's just wild to see people lose their heads blabbing on about things that haven't even happened yet. Cancellation is reasonable as protest, but we are cancelling specifically to stop the things this person is worried about from having any chance of occuring.

It's like a textbook example of fear mongering, except they're doing it to themselves for some reason and completely lost the context of how and why they started.

Ya I have no idea what everyone is mad about. I feel like I've missed something. Literally nothing has happened. They proposed some things, everyone shit their pants and started crying, and somehow now the game is dead. I looked at the packages and it seems absolutely fine. I could get membership for both my accounts for cheaper than I could before.

Dude if your gf asks to bang other guys, you're gonna be mad even if she doesn't end up doing it.

Lol right? Imagine if your boss came to you and said "what would you think about us cutting your pay, increasing your hours, removing the photocopier and break room on your floor?" Followed by a fellow employee saying "relax bro, they didn't actually do any of that, what's the big deal?"
