Pre-Alpha in programs and features
I know the game and DHS are no longer. However I thought I'd hop onto here as I've recently noticed this pre-alpha festering on my programs and features. Whenever I try to uninstall from here, it takes me to steam in which I already have the game uninstalled.
Anyone else notice this or any suggestions?
21:55 UTC
I am sure a lot of people miss IoN but it wasn't the only failed BR throughout the years...
13:47 UTC
Here is an old video to make you miss it before I finally unsub to this subreddit. Sad how this game died.
22:25 UTC
Yo is it dead?
This game not loading is it dead?
22:33 UTC
Is it dead?
I just downloaded islands because I saw alot of gameplay last year and really liked it but I just got a PC powerful enough to run it but haven't had any luck in finding games. Is the game dead? Should I just delete it?
20:43 UTC

Coming to this subreddit always makes me so sad
I used to spend more time on this subreddit than any other back before the devs destroyed this game. I was fully prepared to play basically nothing other than ION for the foreseeable future. But instead of giving us a polished, finished product.... the devs just took all of our fucking money and bailed. It’s so fucked how they treated this community. Not even offering refunds to those of us who supported them on day one. What an absolute disgrace

Fingers crossed boys, the market is still young!

If this game would've recieved the same support as Battalion 1944 has, ION would still be around
Battalion 1944 is a fantastic competitive FPS shooter that has received amazing support and communication from the devs since it's full launch. Sad to see how bad DHS fucked up with ION over simple issues.

The devs had everything in their court, they failed to listen to the customers and they paid the price. This is how not to market a game 101.
The devs of this game went from having all the pieces to none in a very short space of time. It's almost like their entire strategy around getting into the limelight was by pricing people out and getting loads of traction by word of mouth and then all of a sudden opening the floodgates on a free to play weekend - However, that free to play weekend came FAR too late.
I'm not quite sure what the goal was. The game started at a high price - sure it's better than PUBG, but PUBG has millions of players, and was the first massive BR game to break into the mainstream. This was a kickstarter. The devs failed to see that their game couldn't immediately compete with PUBG and decided to be stubborn in their ways and try and force it to compete.
This caused a few problems - people like Shroud and DrDisrespect had already said the game was great, and people would've played had it been free to play, thus creating huge amounts of money from skins (some of the skins in IoN are quite nice) - and it would've generated a lot more popularity through word-of-mouth, clips on twitch and generally just having a bigger fanbase.
The fanbase wasn't huge to begin with, with a lot of people 'keeping an eye' on it, but when it starts at $20 and a lot of people are priced out it just begs the question 'Why wasn't it ftp?'. Not only that, but they spent the majority of their profits on some really shitty, pathetic 'partner program', that saw them sponsor a bunch of nobodys to play the game for about 3 days, increasing IoN's viewership on twitch from 20 to 80. Wowsers!
The map, the game and the gunplay are really sick and the game itself is different to most BR's in the fact that its very quick and feels a lot faster. This is the thing that annoys me most - The game is really fun, and it'll always be "the one that got away" in gaming terms.
They had a great game and absolutely no brains on how to market it. This game could've been the next big thing, easily. I know this subreddit has a lot of haters, but I think at one point they were fans - fans that accepted that this game wasn't going to go anywhere after an increasing amount of poor decisions.
TL;DR - The game waited too long to go F2P and the majority of the fanbase had given up on the devs, and it was warranted.

So it's gone eh
So the game is likely gone I take it oh well nows best time to morlve on at least plenty of other options. So what's your guys pics for other options.
07:25 UTC
It's funny..
Now that the devs have essentially given up on the game and made it F2P, you can finally get matches continually.
Goes to show what the pricing model should've been all along :/
