Nevertheless, I would love to see the old PG3D come back. Therefore, it's either impossible or just extremely difficult, especially if RiliSoft disagrees on bringing back the old PG3D regardless how many complaints about PG3D there were. PG3D's dev team don't play the game and do not care about the feedback, so they can't balance their game. Seriously, homing missile and high damage ? How is it even close to be balanced ? Hackers everywhere and the support don't ban them. How is it fair ? Why would we spend money in this game ? Supporting incompetent/lazy devs ?

PGW's dev team  (Big shoutout to Sitka, Aldo, Tsu, Arkat, Glefa and the others !) was always here among the community and used to listen our complaints. Even if some decisions weren't the best and disturbed the balance, it wasn't gamebreaker. Tiger claw was annoying as heck,Cryptonic bow and Lucky strike were able to one shot without headshot, but the users weren't invincible like these hackers were able to be countered quite easily (unless the users were REALLY, REALLY good at the game). People think the amount of reward increased was because the community was complaining ? Nope, the dev team knew that the game will shut down soon and it was the only way to keep players and maybe a chance to keep the game up.

So basically, here is Rilisoft's boss POV:

-Hacked game with incompetent dev team ? Successful with good potential.

-Legit fun game with a good dev team ? No potential. Shut down.

Yes, the mobile market is bigger than the PC's one, but games on mobile doesn't last long, PG3D and some other games by Gameloft making the exeptions. But the PC's market is also important, else games like CS go, TF2, LoL, Dota (I don't play any of these games, just stating the fact) wouldn't have beenthat popular. I also want to remind that PGW was a beta and not officially release, so yeah it wasn't that popular. But when you develop a game, you expect spending money for it. The popularity comes with the time and the upgrades given to the game.

PG3D used to be a small blocky FPS on the mobile market. It became more popular with the time to the point it received a copyright strike from the lovely Mojang compagny. It came back with few tweaks and pursued it's way.

Why not PGW ? The game welcomed a huge amount of players before the shutdown. It was popular in Vietnam because of some youtubers. I'm sure it was able to be as popular as PG3D with the time, maybe less because of the market's size but still.
