They finally put in an about page and....  from what I've seen happen to Stabby. I'm scared of what other corpses they'll dig from the grave for profit. What do you guys think Kong is going to pull from the grave next?

I don't know. Maybe it will have something to do with that sandbox thing? Which to this day I don't even know what that is.

I honestly wonder what you'll do when Kongregate eventually ceases to exist...

**O M G** We all know what this is!!! Say it with me! Say it with me! ... **They're bringing back...** Say it with me! ... **They're bringing back BACK...** SAY IT SAY IT SAY IT **... bringing back BACK YARD MONS TERS!!!!!** **YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAWWWwwwwwwwwwww**

No idea, but honestly I doin't even care at this point. I got partially excited when I saw the announcement post, only to run headfirst into disappointment a few sentences in. *"Unlike Kongregate.com’s open-platform model, Kongregate.io will feature a curated collection of games."* So in other words, the main thing that made kongregate.com such a great site isn't on the menu, and instead, it's just going to be a chinese p2w mmo dispenser? Yeah fuck that. I mean hell, just looking at the site leads me to believe they're more interested in selling NFTs to morons than actually being a proper gaming platform. I really need to start spending more time over at itch.io

Oh hell yeah man definitely. Can't think of anyone better suited than Holy. We probably shouldn't even joke about these things because the spastics at Kong (or what's left of them) may be seeing us (sarcastically) talk positively of him and actually wind up offering him a job.

I doubt they would, lol. They'd just do what they did with everyone else later, and fire him.

However Holy does seem to at the very least seem to care about the site, and isn't disconnected with the feelings of the community. Holy may not be the best candidate, but definitely not the worst person to buy the domain, I believe. ____ >What do you guys think Kong is going to pull from the grave next? Ideally: -Work with Flipline to resurrect RoS (and integrate NFT cosmetic equips) and other beloved games -Introduce a program where Kongregate pays previous large/loyal Flash devs to try to bring them back, and make exclusives -Some kind of a system to reward introducing new people to the site (new site might need an influx of people to gain momentum lest they follow the steps of Kartridge, so something like ingame rewards for some MMOs they own/support (which is better than the current point reward system)) or if they're going Kartridge 2.0, free games/stuff for introducing people. Or pay influencers to try to advertise What I expect: -Lootbox NFT (where you buy loot boxes with a chance for the NFT you want) with an additional low chance the NFT you want to pull will be shinied (but likely not). They can even turn something like a direct purchase into a lootbox by making it so like out of the five thousand available Stabbies, only five hundred of them are shinies, so you need to buy multiple copy of Stabbies to secure your ownership of that Shiny Stabby or other future NFT. -The second point I mentioned on the Ideally list, but only with VasantJ (Like it or not, MediCop being exclusive would sound like good advertisement seeing the community support it has) -Subscription Service (Maybe you get one NFT lootbox a month, or access to a super ultra omega special VIP shop (where you get the priviledge of buying exclusive NFTs at premium prices that's limited time and only sold for a single month (thus proving you were a loyal subscriber at the time (Brand Loyalty!)))) -NFT Rentals? So like, what if Stabby is too expensive (and isn't flying off the digital shelves), so they have an option to own Stabby (or ingame items) for half a year or one year, but only at half the price! The Value!! -You can now buy any Kongregate game badge. For those who almost have the complete collection, but are missing a few badges (like Sola Rola who broke a few badge streaks), you can now pay money to fill in the gaps! I mean, nothing screams die hard harder than having all the badges, right?

Does kongregate.io come with an off topic forum

> *Originally posted by **[spookyskeleton](/forums/1/topics/1945724?page=1#13646391)**:* > Does kongregate.io come with an off topic forum No, but I'm sure they'd be happy to sell you an NFT for the *concept* of an OT forum.

I'd love to see Skystone back, but I'm pretty sure Flipline axed it as far more effort for less reward than spitting out another tale of Papa turning a new idiot into the sole work-slave for yet another of his wildly profitable eateries. Kong probably doesn't have enough resources left to lure him into anything like that unless they rehash it as a crappy idle game where you brave the wilds to return an exponentially increasing stream of supplies to an increasingly uncaring colony.

My guess is actually what the guy above me said: Just a bunch of microtransaction-farming "games" from seedy Chinese developers with everyone's favorite mechanics: Energy, battle rating on units/party, "diamonds," arena, guilds, and a google-translate-tier story that you quickly progress through until you hit the paywall.

I don't have a cellphone with any apps. Mobile games are not a thing for me. Also, I'm not sure I'd even call an idle game an actual game.

Also, I'm not sure I'd even call an idle game an actual game. i'm sure i *wouldn't* call idle games actual games games require you to interact with them, they're an interactive medium, and "idle games", by definition, require no interaction to run yea, it's still fun to watch numbers go up and watch them go up faster if you interact with them, and therefore i do indulge in them from time to time, but you could also not interact and watch the numbers go up all the same, so i don't think they will ever count, in my eyes at least

yeah I go to the movies to watch Idle games on the big screen
