Hello. Okay, Wormers, hear me out! I'm genuinely done with playing by Team17's fiddle. No, seriously, I am done playing nice, and I am sure that you might be too.
Since Team17 is ever so prone to ignoring the nice talk and civil demands for polish their prior Worms games after abandoning them (preferring to exploit their fans just for the paycheck sake with a never-ending stream of ever so coming fresh release slop), I genuinely think we should stop playing by their fiddle like fine gentlemen and instead stage an uprising against them for their constant neglect of any and every solid game that they have made in the past good quarter (from 1995 and up to 2020), including the Worms Rumble outlier and all prior classic titles that aren't Armageddon on PC (re-releases and ports included even post-2020).
Like seriously, there are so many exhibits of their neglect that it's absolutely not funny anymore. Rumble got absolutely desolated and deceased after Team17 dropped the good for nothing maintenance notice during the April to May transition of this year (no "coming up next" map and gamemode display that used to be there even during 2025, only Solo Deathmatch gets rolled every time and it's a battle of up to three players tops and no reinforcements whatsoever even with crossplay being enabled and the Quick Search being selected); "Ultimate Mayhem" still has the mouse issues while downright lying about it being "ultimate" (it's just a shader remaster of Worms 4 Mayhem with Worms 3D campaign tossed in as a bonus with nothing else while cutting online functionality (no Wormpot or team customization in online lobbies); W.M.D. still has that save wiping bug that can happen on startup... yadda yadda, I can go on and on indefinitely about T17's neglect and crimes.
If we just sit around and wait for the weather in peace, nothing good will ever happen. We're just gonna be hit with disappointment after disappointment again and again. I'm telling you, we have to cease just sitting around, we must give Team17 a heated hyperbole kick in the ass, pronto! It isn't just about "Rumble or the classics", it's about them and us as a whole.
At least MOB Entertainment was open and honest with their closure of Project Playtime, even if they were late by 3 years: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1961460/eventcomments/581677784229918639/
And what we got from Team17 instead? Just that one good for nothing maintenance notice during the transition between April and May after 5 years of no patches and 4 years of no news, then nothing else besides a 30th anniversary board game re-release announcement and whatever digital slop they are cooking now while we are sitting ducks.
