They obviously want to boost the sales of the game on steam hence why they claim it's only on steam, DC and CS do free work for the community, they try to make a cash grab on it... Also I like how the tweet says "As if we'd ever forget our turn-based Worms fans!" as if they're directly implicated in the making of 3.8...

That tweet was definitely shameless.

As if we'd ever forget our turn-based Worms fans!

By popular demand you can now celebrate the 25th anniversary of Worms with a huge free update for the one, the only...

WORMS ARMAGEDDON!

🤢

Probably like 99% of players think T17 created the update themselves from the pure goodness of their hearts. There are countless comments on the trailer "This shows Team17 is one of the few companies today that don't give up on their games <3" 🤣

ROFL, if they really cared about their old games their shitty WWP remake wouldn't be such a mess   

But yeah, they clearly made themselves look good and made some sales at no expense here, but hey couldn't care less, we the community get awesome stuff anyway...

Kinda seems like it...the announcement on Team17's website also only mentions the Steam version.

Tbh, I'd be interested to know if 3.8 has boosted sales and maybe they want to attract more people on steam because it's obviously better to play there but damn man, they're charging 15EUR for it, if it were 5EUR I'd be okay with them pushing people to steam but 15 is too much (yeah I know you can buy keys for 1 or 2EUR but that's nowhere near official and this does not benefit to T17)... They're doing the same with their shit ass WWP remaster btw and it's even more a scam because it has no support and community and it's bugged like hell...

Thank you so much, the community is forever grateful for your work guys 

this has been at least as frustrating for me as it has been for you. The reason this is not what happened is that it has been decided that the next public update must satisfy certain requirements, or otherwise we and the community will forevermore pay the price of not doing so. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that these requirements have been overcome, so we can now finally move forward for the final stretch.

I really wonder what the requirements could be, sounds like T17 is just being boring, I know ETAs mean nothing but since it seems the requirements have been met, do you think it'll take long for the public to see the update?

If the game keeps getting support, it'll always attract some players, T17 took a long time to release a worms game that provides an experience that could be considered an improved version of Armageddon in the form of of W.M.D but it has no mod support, Armageddon has mod support and therefor can be more lively because of the new possibilities that modding brings to the game.

If Armageddon gets 3.8 in the coming year and workshop support on steam then it could very well for long and attract new players because the game could trend a little in the steam sales for a while because of it...

In its current state it can still live for some time and even attract a few new players because the game has decent support for Windows 10 but the game's not a shine either...
