Right so I'm a bit late to the f*ck epic games party but here goes. STW is basically on life support at the moment and it doesn't look like it's gonna get any better. I wish there was some way to get epic to hand development over to the community, it's definitely strong enough and with a few people who know how to use the unreal engine we could completely turn STW upside down. Also with the recent announcement of creative 2.0 and basically no limits in the game, now is a great opportunity to try and develop STW by ourselves. Epic literally have nothing to lose, they already abondoned the game ages ago. Just look at TF2, that game has no content updates for almost 4 years straight and it still has a huge community who have started developing alternative ways to play the game. I think if we got a few notable STW content creators and maybe even a few BR creators to praise an idea like this, epic would actually listen. Still though, I know that this would probably never happen, I just like to think about what we could do with the game ourselves.
