MassivelyOP Interview: Wayfinder’s AJ LaSaracina on the Echoes transition, launch, and long-term plans

Honestly there pivot has me more interested in the game than before.

I guess it is better than shutting down but can't help feeling a bit sad and a little betrayed about this. I bought in because the MMO-lite promise. I understand the vision was too big for the new situation but scaling down to single player is going back on everything. I wonder why they didn't keep the matchmaking at least if it is considered to be added in again at some point.
