Retro just said this in a live stream when discussing what will happen to WU when/if WO comes to steam.
What do you guys think of this?

yes sadly
since the game does not seem to generate them lots of revenue anymore they drop it like a hot potatoe.
Main problem WU and WO is facing is that it is just not that appealing to the majority of ppl. This has multiple reasons going from graphics to just being to complex and time consuming.
Now pair that with CC's "ingenius" marketing "strategy" which consisted of not marketing the game at all and offering it on Humble bundle paired with borderlands back in 2017 for 1$ each which resulted in thousands of copies being stock piled for cheap and resellers selling the game for 50 cents it just can't create them much revenue anymore.
Its sad but thats how it is now and we gotta make the best out of it.

ok, no future content, but what's with existing content? #wagonerforWU i hope, if they realy stop content updates for WU, they are fair enough and make a final patch. but i think, for us nothing will change. only if we would need new models, then all players would need the modlauncher/serverpack

I think actually WU is better because as long as a few people want to play the game can go on for ages even after WO goes poof, which could be anytime. Other than the updates they choose to give us, WU can be customized however a server owner chooses. We can easily keep up with the updates as long as there are people who make mods.

Actually the wagoner is not a requested feature otherwhise we would have it already.

Sad news, but what effect will this have on our world here at Sklotopolis? I have enjoyed all my hours here and have met many people so i would not like it to disappear.
PS Distant rendering would be nice so i can rty and overheat my RTX2080 :-)

PS Distant rendering would be nice so i can rty and overheat my RTX2080 :-) Sklotopolis will be around. That decision is not up to me but it is up to our players, as long as there are people playing on the server I don't see any reason to stop our service.

It's very disappointing that Code Club wouldn't support their own product.

It's very disappointing that Code Club wouldn't support their own product. Yeah it is a horrible decision since there are at least as much unique players in WU as in WO or even more. So disappointing 50% of your customers just because you are unsatisfied about the income is not the best strategy business wise. It is also not a good sign for WO Steam, showing potential new customers that they already abandoned one game before.
