ARK is in BIG trouble in 2024... Is ARK DEAD? 

they should of never released asa. Even WITH aberration's release ark ascended still didnt go above ark survival evolved's player count which is crazy. In my eyes, it was stupid to make asa but too late to go back. Ark 2 is definitely not coming out but i think ark evolved should get the love it has deserved

I'll never care about whatever cash-grabbing BS they might release or not. Long live the real game, ARK Survival Evolved.

I love the improved looks of ASA but it's buggier then ASE if you can actually imagine saying that lol. There are barely anyone playing ASA, I find myself alone on most servers I play on.

It is dead. I only keep up with it out of curiosity. Had over 8k hours logged onto game before Asa came out. Game was supposed to be free, turned out to be lies. Constant promises never kept. Game is unplayable a lot. They spend all their time monetizing stuff. The pyromane money grab was hilarious lmao. All this non tales content everyone is excited about I think they all forgot that all that exciting Ark content is paywalled..all of it. Game is a scam

Turn down the volume on the music n still I can’t really hear you

I think once Ragnarok comes out, ASA might have saved itself but we'll see...

The game isn't dying. It just hasn't come into its own. For right now ASE is just the better game for most ark fans. Personally, i love ASA. Admittedly i have a system strong enough to play it without many issues. However, there are simple work arounds for the amd gpu crashing issue andi doubled my performance my enabling fsr through a script. These are things every pc player can do. The main reason more players haven't moved over is due to system requirements, the much needed optimization patch, and because the game isn't finished. remember, this game is still in EARLY ACCESS. Its going to have bugs, broken releases, delays, ect. Give it time and itll come into its own. Im a little surprised you didn't touch in the pay to win argument, but frankly its a mute point. Outside of the pyromane ark had always been pay to win. As for the free release, that was unrealistic. Look at skyrim, it got 3-5 remasterd and they all costed money. Paying half the price or less for all the maps is perfectly acceptable imo. Paying another $30 for the BTT is fine too. It has added so much and specifically with this release is worth the price tag itself. Pyromane is a different story, but its cheap and adding it to more maps isn't a bad thing. Admittedly though it shouldn't be in the blue zone. Red or surface with the goo gun as a way to tame is would have been acceptable.

It's been too late since ARKSA launched. The moment they made it a graphic upgrade not just an engine upgrade it was doomed. Sorry but People shouldn't need a 4080 to run this game half way well. Most people including myself didn't want a graphic update. We wanted ARK improved so we could have bigger bases without huge FPS drops. Have lots big PVP battles without launch setting 90% of the graphics away. We were not getting that the moment the first high depth screen shots of the mew graphics came out. I abandon ARKSA even before it was released. Why buy Ark again if it's going to run like trash again? 😂

Oh really? Crazy im literally looking at the servers and they are either full or little under and i can not get into the server i started on. 70 people a server. Ark is not dead yall are dumb if u believe this kid

So sick of these click bait "Ark is Dead" videos

How many videos are out there saying omg is the game dead but nothing ever really changes

I play unofficial ASE still lol ASA wasn’t enjoyable for me

No

U say ark is dead but I can’t join my official server half the time cause there r so many people trying to play

The game has potential. it just requires time.

Ark died the moment they added extinction on ASE know so many people who left after that and with the constant cheating and bs its dead as a doorknob

Not dead 25k ppl player but ya dead
