I hope this question doesn't get deleted, because I seriously just want to know why a better "next-gen" game was thrown away for an older game. At the expense of sounding pretentious, I consider myself one of the older original players of this game. My family came to the U.S in the summer of 2007, and I started the 2nd grade. So my 2007-2008 school year, I attended 2nd grade, and then the 2008-2009 school year I attended 3rd grade. I know for a fact that I started playing Tanki Online during the summer break after the finishing up 3rd grade because my family went to Disney World that summer and I found about Tanki Online when I got back from Disney Land. So I started playing Tanki Online in the summer of 2009; and Wikipedia shows that the game was released on June 4, 2009. So yeah, I've been playing for a long time. Played all through elementary school, middle school, and high school; Tanki online has been a part of my life for 9 years. Everyday I came home and started playing until bed, I LOVED this game. When Tanki X was being released, I was super excited. I was part of the beta testing, and when when I played it on the first day, I was in awe, this would be the next step for Tanki X. Was Tanki Online good? Even awesome? Yes, but Tanki X was the next step. Just like GTA San Andreas was great, but GTA 5 is the newest and current. Just like The Elder Scrolls Oblivion was great; but Skyrim is the latest. Just like Fallout 3 is an all time great, but we moved on to Fallout 4 And it doesn't even have to be video games; Car manufactures start a new generation of vehicles when the old generation is obsolete, now matter how good they were, change has to come. And that is why I was so shocked when the developers stopped working on Tanki X. It felt like a step back, or better yet, staying in the same place. Yes, Tanki Online is great, but Tanki X was the next thing. I know when the developers scrapped Tanki X, they said something like "the online gaming market is too competitive, so we dont have enough manpower to work on both Tanki Online AND Tanki X, so we'll get rid of Tanki X" something like that. But my question is why didn't they get rid of Tanki Online and build on Tanki X?
