To the Funcom team

To the Funcom team,

I am writing to you today to express my deep disappointment, frustration and anger after the announcement that Conan Exiles will go to UE5 only on STEAM and that nothing is planned for the console players, Epic and Microsoft.

I have been playing Conan Exiles since its release, and over the years I’ve invested a lot of time and money in this game. I supported your work, bought the DLCs, actively participated in the community, and I got involved in this universe because I believed in its evolution and in your desire to make it grow on all platforms.

Finding out today that console gamers—especially those on PS5—are simply abandoned in this technological transition is a real shock. I feel that Funcom is turning its back on a part of its community, as if our loyalty and investments have no value. This is not only disappointing, but deeply disgusting.

I understand that the development has its constraints, but the way this decision is presented gives the impression that console players are no longer a priority. After so many years of support, it’s extremely difficult to accept.

I sincerely hope that you will take into account the anger and sadness of many players like me, and that you will reconsider your position or, at a minimum, that you will provide explanations and compensations up to what this decision represents.

This is total BS. It’s nothing but the developer’s laziness and budget constrains.

Le vrai problème réside dans la rentabilité du projet. Les clients Steam sont plus nombreux et donc plus rentable, quant aux autres et bien il leur reste leur yeux pour pleurer. Je pense que c est un manque de respect ni plus ni moins.

I totally agree, it blows my mind they think this was a great avenue to take when console players are a huuuuge proponent to their fanbase. I hope they address this soon and stop ignoring us otherwise I don’t think this is going to go well for them especially if it comes out and it turns out to be buggy and extremely unoptimized.

Let’s see how it goes. My suspicion is that it will be a huge success. If so then you can expect this to huge improvement in the game will make to all platforms.

I really do hope so.
