Goodbye Smite, Welcome Paladins, You **********

Well, you are pretty pessimistic about this.

As far as I know, SMITE is the third-most popular MOBA at this moment and is only growing in popularity. It even had the fourth-biggest price pool in the history of eSports (although I do admit that some of this money came from the Odysee). Also, SMITE has recently been launched for Xbox One causing even more accounts to be created. SMITE is far from done for, and even if it would stop being updated (which obviously won't happen since this is Hi-Rez's most profitable game yet), Hi-Rez would still keep servers running since they did that to Tribes: Ascend too. I don't see any problems with them creating a new game while maintaining an older one.

Oh yeah the good old Tribes Ascend Circlejerk. I hate those people, get over it already. If they pull the same PR mistake again, Hirez is done, furthermore Smite is doing profit, you couldnt say the same about the previous games they did.

Rofl this tags, this is so cringe

how does that saying loud in english I believe it was third time is a charm or something like that.

And if they drop smite then I could easily see the end of hi-rez

At the end of the day, with Smite's drawing power as the most niche-y/gimmick-y moba yet, Hi-Rez is not going to let go of Smite easily.

I think that Hirez is smart enough to keep SMITE going considering it's one of the top MOBAs out there and a continuously growing game. I imagine Hirez is trying to pull a blizzard move and get some extra cash to go alongside the cash cow.

Except Global Agenda wasn't the third most popular MOBA in the industry across multiple consoles, it wasn't highly visible or professional, and it didn't get much critical acclaim. I do miss Tribes, but Smite is more popular and on a grander scale than either. Two occurrences don't make an unbreakable pattern.

They did the same with global agenda.

Um, a HiRez exec posted on Reddit that they specifically intend to continue supporting Smite updates and the Smite professional scene. If they let down the third most popular MOBA, its audience, and its most devoted players, they would lose a lot of credibility. They're far from done with Smite.

We shalt see in time

Nope, You don't know hirez good enough. When they start a new game, Its the end of the old one, No matter what.

Idk I think the xbox launch has secured smite enough financial stability to still be the center of hirez's profit

stuke this is standard Hi-rez the moment they see something with more profit the other game gets dropped.

(still if smite grabs a lot of money they will support it sooner then paladin. don't know what it's going to be we shall see)
