This response is by no means meant to target you (or anyone else); I just think it’s interesting how often the game’s imminent death is mentioned over the years. Just for kicks, I decided to search “game is dying” and see what came up. The forum search is a bit janky, but here are some examples I found over the years.

2025:

> [@Campaign Begins: Trident of Dago'Nath](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/campaign-begins-trident-of-dagonath/87530/15):

> If this was intended, I seriously think either their management was out their mind or the game is going to die soon.

> [@Recruitments madd house gang (xbox)](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/recruitments-madd-house-gang-xbox/87006/3):
>
> Happens regularly to us. Unfortunately the game is dying and we lose good players and friends faster than bugs appear on the game.

2024:

> [@8.0 Update: Immortals](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/8-0-update-immortals/84610/63):
>
> To me, this game feels like a dying one. It may just be my grief talking because I feel I may leave very soon.

> [@Reading the Runes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/reading-the-runes/83371/4):
>
> Does anyone even bother to see how many people are actually playing the game? The guild events? And is any thought at all put into that when deciding with zero transparency how these gimmicky points are decided?
> 
> If Gems of War is dying. Is anyone willing to work to save it?

2022:

> [@Recruiting has become close to impossible](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/recruiting-has-become-close-to-impossible/75949/1):
>
> It has never been harder than it is currently to recruit players. This may be a signal that Gems of War is slowly dying. It has lasted a long time so I would not be surprised.

2021:

> [@A question for the devs to ignore](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/a-question-for-the-devs-to-ignore/73109/3):
>
> At this point, I can only conclude that the studio is tired of their product, and is just waiting for it to die out on its own. So pretty soon, if this road continues, I will hang up my account and help them get what they want.

> [@505 Acquires Infinity+2 & Gems of War (Read about what this means for you)](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/505-acquires-infinity-2-gems-of-war-read-about-what-this-means-for-you/68035/49):
>
> Seriously though, just wanted to remind people how far this game has fallen and how pretty much everything they say is propaganda to get you to keep spending while it dies.
> 
> Once pq3 is available on all platforms, this game dies for real.

I got tired of searching past this point 😂 I’m not implying your points are invalid or that your concerns are unreasonable, just that the game continues to survive after years of ups and downs, and that the recent overhaul of GW - love it or hate it - does not seem to indicate a dying game.
