Refunding all the veterans and players
Please Cmune, this game has been in the hearts of many players throughout the world. Not only did they fund you through purchases but they played against you and helped to even develop new ideas and even banning hackers. This is troubling to everyone who has spent money for you make it seem like a huge waste to just shut down a game we all love. If you could just have a small amount of people running this and give the power to the veterans to fix and keep the system alive or at least give everyone some steam credit for all the money and blood, sweat and tears shed playing this game.

My experience never going to happen. They also probably will not give out their source code on the same basis they never gave it out when they stopped paintball paradise. The only hope is that those who have left Cmune and joined other developing companies will use their skills to produce other like minded products or that Cmune down the track plans to introduce a comeback with a similar game like uber paintball rush. Including their all three fps styles. With their continued failure in comparison to other long standing fps a gamers future commitment and purchases will probably end up being nothing more than frivolity and a huge commission for their marketers.

They probably don't even have the money you gave them anymore. Note that running and maintaining the servers aren't free, and they come at heavy maintenance costs that can't be supported through the occasional one-time purchases by players like you and I.
Throughout 2015, uberstrike servers have frequently went offline -- so much so that it's likely more than just a power trip. My guess is that cmune had difficulty paying for the servers to keep them afloat (without digging into their own personal pockets), and eventually led them to shut down the game entirely in the next year (2016).

It's just a speculation, but at the end of the day, companies like cmune are looking to earn profits. If something becomes unprofitable, it only makes sense to shut it down. Hackers alone couldn't be the reason for them shutting down the game -- if so they would have done it 5 years ago. Tl;dr: too little people spending money on the game compared to the overall playerbase.





In addition, I don't think there's much (or anything) veterans can do to make the game better. Sure, you can ban hackers, but that is only a combative measure that doesn't solve the root of the problem -- an ineffective anti-cheat system. Besides, creating an uberstrike account is free. Hackers could easily create a new account and hack, which the vets would have to combat by banning again. It will lead to an endless arms race between the hackers and the vets, a race that will only put further strain on the already crippled servers. Without the ability to implement preventative measures -- which would require extensive knowledge of C++ and unity programming -- veterans can't do anything to help. After all, we're only players with more time on our hands.

People quit the game mainly due to the hackers. When no one plays, then there will be no income. No income, no money. No money, no servers. Etc. There is a causality; ineffective anti-cheat system / hackers are imo a reason for shutting down this game.

Instead of doing other games they should have fixed this one first. Much easier said than done, but letting down a game that was number 1 on Facebook and Apple's AppStore is like killing a winning horse.

Moving to Steam they could have filtered people but not allowing new accounts or asking for a minimum Steam level until things got sorted out. But well, to be honest, at the time they moved to Steam, it was already too late. UberStrike was already plagued by cheaters since years and their other games failed hard.
