A restructure like that requires recognition that AGS needs to completely rework the team, their development framework, and ultimately the finished product. A process that takes years to complete in an organization of their size/scope, and I don't see how Amazon could justify that much time & money in the *hope* that they can change New World's status to reach the level of 'mediocre'. I think they've already hit the iceberg, it's just a matter of whether those 2 go down with the ship or not. I think Amazon Games as a division is going to be in an existential crsis at the end of the year if Throne & Liberty flops as hard as it seems guaranteed to do, and the other games they've signed up to publish turn into vaporwear (like Blue Protocol seems like it will be). They just don't have enough skin in the game to continue to justify so many failures.
The fact that they haven’t been fired probably means they’re hiding behind a medley of excuses that are pointing the blame for the games failure at anything but themselves. For that, bravo. It’s probably the only good job they’ve done.
LOL those creator spotlights pretty much sums up AGS management of New World. They spotlight the biggest content creator they have and then 2 people that don’t even play the game 😂 they’re so clueless, always have been.
I will always appreciate these videos documenting the little bits of insight into New World's behind-the-scenes news. As far as "content creator" stuff during Max's tenure, there were also those tweets that tried to promote Expedition speedruns as a community event ("Rune Forge Runners"), but without any rules for the speedrun and with a seemingly random selection of Twitch streamers participating. Was the Discord server you were describing the same 1 that AGS was supposed to use for consulting its "Group of Experts" they have always claimed to communicate with? I can't imagine what the New World team actually looks like, or how it functions, at this point. It must some kind of extreme: either no accountability/oversight for any tasks, *or* micro-management/mis-prioritization that prevents employees from actually doing their jobs properly. Personally, I suspect that the "content-creator manager" position no longer exists within AGS, as part of the plan to no longer support New World as a live-service game after "NW: A" is released.
Thanks! The group of experts server is a separate thing, so it's not this server. I don't think they won't fill the position since it's not exclusively for NW, but for all their games
The game is practically dead. Is hard to believe that such a beautiful game with wonderful graphics and the best combat failed. I just hope that a miracle happens in October. I'm a big fan of pvp and I stopped playing NW because the pvp is terrible. It makes me sad.
The best combat ever. I quit NW and pre-ordered the next expansion and I just coudn't get into it. Even though I was a wow pvper for 16 years. I refunded the wow expansion. Now started tarisland and still it's nowhere close to Nw's combat
I have no doubt that the fresh start servers will be fun for 2-5 months post console launch. I plan to get my last New World fix on that and then probably put the game down for good.
AGS hoped those creators that didn't or barely touched NW, would bring their viewers which were non-NW players. So once against, ignore current playerbase and go for new game purchases. I guess this is how buy to play makes developer to behave.
I respect the fuck out of dukesloth, your consistency and dedication doesn't go unnoticed. I played new world since launch and quit about 4 months ago. Been a hopium legend for too long. I'm rooting for newworld and hope they can finally give some content after the release of console to keep players around
Max was also the one along with SchmeckNw who got the winter rune forge speed run event going. It was fun being invited in and to be apart of it. Max is a nice guy who really cares about making the game better. He will be missed and best of luck at your new employment.
See how many hours of enterainment you can get if you go to the cinema for the same amount of money. The only reason you are mad is because you thought this was the only forever game you would be playing. Every game dies and nothing lasts forever
The problem with paid ope are that studio needs to reach public that DO NOT play New World in the first place. No need to ad the game to people already playing and AGS must not have the money to pay people already playing the game. But it's also kind of a fail because they kind of never reach people who could really go push the game later on. IE at New World start, they paid some streamers 1000$ even with like 5 ccv and did not reach all creators who pushed the beta and made ad for the game for free, what a pity. I hope they'll get someone this time, but i really think in those kind of position it SHOULD NOT be an US citizen but someone else, just to try a different way of thinking, who could really go in the way MMORPG needs to go with CC.
“This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!”
Definitely a possibility, but neither are some of the other creators that have been in previous marketing campaigns. Mind this was all pre-NWA announcement, so there has obviously been a shift in tone on my channel since
Can’t wait for console release ❤ played over 400 hours on pc but sold up and downgraded to ps5. Really hope they put time into it because it honestly has potential to be even better then ESO
i am watching all your videos and cant wait for next ones but on this one you were way off your usual track. you went a dark path that i didn't enjoy. Also on the NDA part be careful cause you acknowledge it publicly and you might have legal actions against you. "Indirect Liability: Even if you did not directly disclose the information, if it can be proven that you facilitated or encouraged the third party to breach the NDA, you could still be held liable for the breach."
They fvcked over their core player base too many times and it is reflected on their current numbers. As of now only war loggers are playing while everyone else has quit because of the lack of content,.
I don’t know the whole list of people in that discord, but from what I do now, the people there definitely did play the game when Max started in the role a few months ago. There was some weirdness that I had heard about but I’m pretty sure most of the creators were from twitch rather than RUclips. Which might explain why you never found yourself there. I wouldn’t blame Max for this though. I think AGS practically set him up for failure
Yeah, I thought about those, and how they didn't follow up with 2nd episodes of either series now, over 2 weeks later. Also, there was the strangely huge number of views the "NW: A" trailer was getting, which stopped increasing on June 28th. But it wouldn't surprise me if there was 1 or more *different* people responsible for those kinds of things.
@@prasinoz3 ??? the game is already buried. Content creators need to stop making content for the game fully. These people are the ones keeping it on its last legs. If no one talks about the game what will happen? things will finally start to change.
None of the games are hugely sucessful and anyone who is trying to build a portfolio of successful projects are not going to be doing it at AGS. So yeah I get people leaving and they'll sucker someone else into the job.
I’m not going to address this video in detail, but I can tell you it had nothing to do with the reasons you mentioned here. There is so much more going on behind the scenes that creators have no visibility into. Take off the tinfoil hats :)
Hey Duke! I've applied to console beta (got an Xbox) with both mine and my wife's Amazon Prime accounts. If i get in, I'll get contact you, so you can tell me what info I can gather for you. Keep up the good work!
It's not the easiest job to work with diva content creators (bald man, etc.), but it is an important thing to build hype and increase sales. The game wouldn't be in as bad of a state right now if more streamers were playing the game consistently. But then again those streamers need content and good reasons to play, doing OPR over and over again on the same map can't last forever for most of them. Thumbs up for great videos.
Did you ever get a chance to check out Pax Dei? I know there has been a lot of bad press about it with some justification but I am enjoying it and willing to see what happens for a few months. The SEA server is pretty decent - not overcrowded but not empty either.
Hope new games come out so you can get back to making real content. Appreciate the updates on the dumpsterfire that is New World but that game is C O O K E D.
DRAIN THE SWAMP. AGS EMPLOYEES WORKING ON NEW WORLD NEED TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE. I AM LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO YOUR EYES SCOT LANE. ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED THIS GAME. I tell anyone who even hints to play new world to not buy this game.
Yah no, so many people just want to cry and complain but wolnt actually do anything about it. I’ve decided to take a big break from it this week. Atleast until we hear something
dude, almost all of us with similar hours have already been gone. You are super late to the party my guy. Leave and don't even think about this game until management improves.
Maybe if you like solo content because that's what most of 2025 road map will consist of. They're going to keep their new console players who love solo ARPGs.
5:00 It is called DEI and AA. Most non-Americans have no idea how bad things are in the USA with that "stuff". The whole country is grinding to a stop due to incompetency. Just a warning: never buy anything made in the USA, including video games.
If I had a dollar for every time the community said "Just wait until "X date" and they will turn around, game has so much potential, it would be awesome" , I would already be rich at this point, so damn rich. 3 years of people cope, here we are, with just more cope because nothing really changed, actually everything went worse and deeper into the void and bug mess xD
Also it sounds like you a little bit of salty they didnt pick you. And i think the simple thing is those other have Agents that got them the gig... very simple.. No game company cares about people like you who make content with critisim .. specaily AGS... you are a problem for them. So the rather take someone where they can check some bonus points that a guy who plays/played the game.
Waiting for Scot and Katy's exit.

the pvp is still fun, I just wish that there was more variety to it. I'm quite excited for the new pvp zone coming.
The best combat ever. I quit NW and pre-ordered the next expansion and I just coudn't get into it. Even though I was a wow pvper for 16 years. I refunded the wow expansion. Now started tarisland and still it's nowhere close to Nw's combat

5:51 There is your mistake. They don't give a damn about people that play the game, it's all about how many views/viewers they get.
ags has done nothing but display their disloyalty to both the community and creators
The best pvp combat ever in the hands of the worst devs ever. I think nothing ever will come close to NW's addicting combat and that's sad
