All the bs happening to forsaken is entirely the fault of the fandom btw. Its obvious whoever is making those documents about soul and the other ppl from the team is just desperately trying to give the game a bad reputation. They take EVERYTHING out of context bro, like.... eugh.
Also stop giving attention to the weirdos in the fandom(including the proshippers/rage baiters. Stop sharing their content around for shock value, don't even post it to show yourself fixing their art.). Don't interact with toxic people in game. Just report them and change servers if you need to. Stop giving platforms to people creating unnecessary drama.
And the biggest thing I think this fandom should start doing is FOCUSING ON THE GOOD THINGS!!! Yes there are many people who keep complaining about the game (that they are actively choosing to play btw), yes there are some bad apples (which is unfortunately unavoidable), yes there is drama (but the drama has already been cleared up and explained MULTIPLE TIMES) BUT you know what else is there?
The special update just for today, which was honestly pretty fun!(march 18)
Although toki pulled all their characters from forsaken, there's still a chance they might continue their story seperately in their own projects!!! (Awesome news for azure/ringmaster/rook fans tbh)
Even though the updates are paused we still did get different updates for a lot of characters and their abilities. (Check the dev log) (also we got temporary buff for John Doe today!!! Cuz yknow..march 18)
Despite all the drama and hardship the devs are facing they are CHOOSING to continue to work on the game. (Idk if i could handle all of that if I was in their place, the devs are pretty awesome ngl...)
Yes, some people left the team, but you can still follow up on other works they might be doing. They exist outside of forsaken. (And who isn't to say new people won't join the team in the future? Keep ur heads up guys, dont let the weirdos hating on forsaken bring down ur mood lol)
Even though a lot of skins were removed from the game, I'm not really sad about it. Because some skins were what introduced me to new media and they are sooo peak omg, idc if the skins get removed im just happy to discover peak... and you should be happy too bcz the fandoms are growing!! Which means more fan art. Yum.
And ngl, since azure is removed im kinda excited to see how two time's new lore will develop in the future. I'm just happy to play the game man. We should all be more grateful and just...idk...be more jolly tbh...
It's not often that I get VEEERY interested in something, and trust me when I do get interested in things I literally lose my mind over it. And forsaken just happened to be one of the rare things I got way too obsessed with, LOL. So, when things go not so according to plan, I just try to go with the flow and be thankful that the devs even decided to make a game...they literally said money wasn't their goal, soul lets other ppl make merch for the game and lets them sell it, like...this game is just nice dude. Let's all give the ppl on the forsaken team their credit where it's due.
This is not the time for negativity, it's the time to stick togerher as a community and build a safe space for all of us. (The devs are still human, you know! Be nicer.)
(Also, in no way shape or form am i trying to encourage toxic positivity. Let yourselves be sad and dont try to be like 'oh nahh it will be okay!!' Because its normal to be sad about all the current news. Just dont let it consume you and dont take it out on others)
Also before I forget, if you dont interact with the bad side of the fandom you wont be seeing that type of content. I personally haven't ran into that many toxic people because i choose to step back and be happy, LOL. Just find your people, I promise you can do it. If you can't find your people, then just create that community yourself :)
The game isnt going to be cancelled or anything by the way, this was announced in the dc. Don't worry you guys...overthinking isn't good for you. I'm not saying this to be mean, but please touch grass. Like actually. Going outside makes me realize things arent as deep as they seem. Taking a short walk will seriously make u feel so much better, trust me. Take care of yourself first, then you can worry about a game.
Am I saddened by everything that's happened to forsaken? Yeah, OBVIOUSLY!!! But am i still able to see the good side in all of this??? YEA, OBVIOUSLY!!! It's hard to focus on the good things sometimes, I know... but they're so much easier to find once you start looking for them.
Tl;dr forsaken will be okay and you will also be okay, calm down
