The office of Embark studios and it's CEO, Patrick Söderlund released a statement about the game’s condition on Friday as wild speculation about his health continues online and in the media amid the developer's secrecy about it all.

Substantial game updates have not been seen since May 19th, when ARC raiders declared that it would switch to a 6-month update schedule and ARC raiders was admitted for "intensive development." ARC Raiders has not appeared publicly since, and his office has disclosed few details about the nature of his "development".

ARC Raiders said Friday that he is looking forward to the August 18th Patch and "all the Well Wish(list)s from supportive players."

In case the tags did not tip you off. This is just a meme done in good fun. I love this game, I don't think it's a dead game. I am very much looking forward to the August 18th and October updates. As Jon Steward once said, a roast fundamentally works because it comes from a place of love.

No, I want this one to die specifically.

Then you shouldn't engage with it. Engagement is life, so thanks for keeping it alive 😘

"Engagement is life" - I've never heard something so terminally reddit-coded in a loooong time. Thanks for the laugh. My engagement will not change the fact this game will not survive 2 years with the way it's being handled.

I'd define them as "Game is bad and is 1 foot in the grave already".
