Gloria Victis is being resurrected under new ownership as a free-to-play game.

Free-to-play is not a resurrection, it's a cash grab that happens after an investment group buys the IP for pennies on the dollar so they can milk microtransactions out of the people that are nostalgic for the original attempt of the game. It will die a second death as soon as they lose their allotment of whales.

yeah no thanks. I haven't seen a game go through weird issues, get resurrected and actually continue to be successful after the mess.

I wouldn't touch this until another 5 years of stable updates/improvements.

Ah… bought by a browser game publisher…

I recently got nostalgic for this game (played it during covid lockdowns and really liked it) just to find out it shut down so I got excited for a second but looking up the company that bought it killed that real quick.
