I come back from the dead to share a hot take about that new Webkinz game using my golden retriever Stella. I have no idea how Webkinz Tumblr is taking it, but the Kinztagram side seems to be fuming and is confusing the new game for a replacement, and is still upset at Ganz as a company even if you clear up their confusion. The only things I agree on are about the weird looking 3D semirealistic graphics, and the lack of activities. When I was in the beta group, it soon just became a showcase for people's babies using the new breeding feature.
Since I was a beta tester for the game, I saw how dedicated the staff was and got to see their explanations for things. Including the lack of attention to the original game. What they basically said is that due to the fact that Webkinz was made from code that's basically dead today, things like glitches and stuff are hard to impossible to fix. Plus, people keep forgetting this, but no new plushies have been made because the company hasn't been making enough money to continue production. That explains everything. Ganz isn't ignoring their players. They just don't know how to tell you guys all this yet.
So I guess a solution was to create a new game and basically start from scratch. But not really because Ganz is keeping both games. Original Webkinz is going nowhere. And there's also the fact that plush for the new game is going to be a thing sometime in the future. I doubt this will be another Club Penguin situation where the original is abandoned and the new game fails immediately. The Webkinz staff is 100% dedicated to keep both games alive, especially Original Webkinz. Unlike Disney, theyre actually keeping both games. I saw a lot of people worry about this, so I thought I'd clear it up.
anyway, I'm so sorry if I ever come back to check on this post to see that a war has started. This is why I always keep my mouth shut when it comes to opinions online. Just because it's the internet, doesn't mean my social anxiety ran away. ;u;
