((although i doubt a v4 will ever happen because of the same reasons the whole rotmg line fell; everyone got bored of their characters and shit.))

((So... The usual reasons then? These games never end properly after all, just slowly collapse due to lack of interest.))

((And Alterverse died because nobody considered reasons for their characters to not just go home.))

((im aware but i corrected usec))

((You could still just make a game about ghost hunters with an intentionally patchwork setting. Though I guess the arguments and confusion about the lore won't be replicate, which would be an issue seeing as it appears to be a key part of this game.

Or I guess you could kill a living and a dead bird with one stone by making a game about magical spambots that hunt ghosts residing within phantom websites that shouldn't even be up anymore yet which persist in the darknet, forgotten APT units that have become haunted, and the broken remnants of failed mind-uploading projects, subduing them before forcing them to listen to sales pitches for affordable goods they don't need

Probably would have some title that's a pun on the concept of a ghost in the machine. Probably also be pretty damn confusing for the ghosts. I mean, imagine if you were dead for years or even centuries, forgotten to the world, carving out your own little home with strangers in a forgotten part of the internet and then suddenly a bunch of brightly colored true AI units barge in, tase you, and force you to listen to cutesy jingles about products you've never even heard of? Actually, I guess it could work sort of like that Undertale game where other people can submit and control ghosts to fight and sell to.))
