ARK: Survival Evolved is turning into ARK: Survival Ascended. You will only get if you pay $49.99 for it plus ARK 2.

They will be shut down all official servers on all platforms for ARK: Survival Evolved. So if you don’t pay to upgrade, single player or community servers only.

@gamingonlinux Not only that but to add insult to injury, you have to rebuy all the DLC again. 40 USD for remastered content on top of ASA itself, half of which is only a few year old 🤦

@gamingonlinux 😆 They have an over-inflated sense of how vital their game is in today's survival genre market.

@gamingonlinux I can see that being incredibly frustrating for those that have spent years on officials or small tribes. Personally I have run a couple unofficial clusters and played on a few as well, modded with S+, stacking mods, adjusted rates, etc. -- so I can't say I personally mind. But had I poured in thousands of hours on official instead of unofficials, I'd be pretty livid.

@gamingonlinux Meanwhile, Coffee Stain is upgrading Satisfactory to Unreal Engine 5 as a free standard update, no rebuying or anything needed.

Obviously there's more to it for Ark 2, but 'upgrading the engine' doesn't *force* a full rewrite if the old one's just UE4 or something. Ah well, good thing I stopped paying attention to Ark I guess.

At least you can still host your own dedicated servers for it so it's not going to *totally* di- uh, *go extinct*. 🦖

@gamingonlinux Bought this game on steam uears ago, it never ran well on linux anyway IMO, waste of money and storage space.

@gamingonlinux If I actually cared about Ark I'd probably be pretty upset by this. Never played it, don't particularly care. I have it in my library for some reason, but I don't think I've ever launched it.
