Amazing Gaze Games' beautiful girl TPS RPG, 'Snow Break: Forbidden Zone', has been undergoing server maintenance for nearly two months since March 2nd. Server technical maintenance was cited as the reason, but the details were not mentioned, and after the server maintenance began, there was no news of any reduction.
Looking at the lounge notice, I was able to prepare for some long-term maintenance. There was also talk that the inspection period could be relatively long due to the large size of the data. In addition to the selection reward that allows you to choose from the limited lineup of characters and weapons released until last year, there was also a statement that an additional Revelator Resonance Pledge, a limited draw ticket, would be given each time the server maintenance schedule was extended by 24 hours.
Moreover, fans of 'Snow Break' were also monitoring the game's eventful performance in mainland China. As the results did not meet expectations immediately after release, the development team changed the game to a male-oriented direction, and in the process, conflicts arose not only with internal employees but also with partners in China. At that time, in the Chinese subculture industry, various issues were intensifying due to disputes between fandoms of each game, and the repercussions of this came from 'Snow Break', which started to attract new attention. In such a situation, it was censored by the authorities several times and underwent several revisions, and even events and characters that had been ambitiously released were completely canceled and reworked due to sabotage by some developers.
Nevertheless, efforts have been made to get the game back on track by applying 'graphics optimization' to global servers, including Korea, and gradually fixing the messy translation and adding Korean dubbing to the Korean server. Fans believed and waited because they had proven it through actions in the past, but their patience is gradually running out. This is because the game, which has been trying so hard to prove its sincerity, continues to remain silent, saying nothing and simply telling us to wait.
In relation to this, fans waited patiently, recalling the hardships 'Snow Break' had experienced in the beginning. In fact, there is no obligation to do so. This is because it is a business relationship in which game companies provide services to users, and users pay fees. As for free-to-play games that users can enjoy without having to pay for them, efforts have been made to encourage users to consistently pay to access the service. In particular, competition in subcultural games is so fierce that the word "blood ocean" has been going around recently, and the pie that has once grown is hardly expanding further. In such a situation, it is natural for a company to improve the quality of its services and appeal to it in order to survive as a service provider.
Most gamers already know this fact without having to spell it out. However, gamers rarely say things like this. This is because from the moment it crosses a certain threshold, it goes beyond the level of a simple service. Aren’t gamers people who have already made the memories and emotions they felt while playing games a part of their lives? The form is different depending on the genre or style. And the moment you simply replace it with money, it's like putting a price tag on priceless memories. So, for the most part, I am not conscious of it and just focus on purely enjoying it.
'Snow Break' was able to come this far because users have always believed in it, sympathized with it, and worked together with it. The game company also showed its sincerity in trying to find a way out of various issues through the end result, so I believed it would do the same this time as well. So, users frequently waited in and out of the lounge with hope, but there was not even a line of notice for over a month. Even though this rudeness cannot be offset by good work done in the past, users waited with all their affection. Shisun Games must now respond to that wait. Whether the answer is the worst outcome or not, the user has the right to hear it. I hope that the endless wait that takes away even that right will end now.
