Not happy with Hawken_ Vote with your wallet, I know I have. I care less and less each day about Hawken now that I've stopped buying anything in the game. Continually purchasing things in a Free to Play game means you're investing yourself in that game, supporting it if you will, and even more so if it's STILL IN GOD DAMN BETA for almost 2 YEARS!
Betas lasting many months or even years are not uncommon, I think Valve had Dota2 under a beta tag for slightly over 2 years. We've mentioned that the game out right now is HAWKEN for all intents and purposes (minus new content and new feature work) but that we aren't happy with performance, infrastructure or some open bugs in deep functionality. We're sorry to hear HAWKEN might no longer for you but hope you had fun with it!
EDIT: I'm not going to discuss the realities of our bandwidth or technical debt incurred from decisions made years ago... all that stuff has been mentioned and ultimately doesn't matter. Ultimately what it
does come down however to is a team putting out a game for people to have fun with and also sustain continued development of that game for the community. That's the core and what's important! Nobody is blind to that...
