Solo has been in the game since release. It’s the private games. If they remove the 2 player requirement to create a private game, there’s the solo mode. But it’s been like that since release. Is solo mode coming? No
It’s not been like that since release. Private lobbies came after like 2-3 months iirc.
Also, Fatshark never said “solo is not coming” which is why I’m still here. I’d love for Quickpaw or Julia or Lev to pop in here and say “Solo is never coming.” Even if that’s all they say about it. That way I can say “great, thanks for confirming” and then continue never giving Fatshark another cent.
I wish that consumer protection laws were more stringent so crap like this got people prosecuted.
Yes, that’s incredibly petty.
I still think it should happen. Companies and the people in those companies who make decisions should face consequences for lying.
I might feel like that to you if you played in the closed betas before release
Darktide release date: Nov 30, 2022
Steam community post from Thu, December 8, 2022 Steam :: Warhammer 40,000: Darktide :: Community Update #5: Week 2
Private Play (and Solo)
Starting next week, with 2 or more players in the strike team, players will be able to opt into playing privately via the mission board. This will prevent players who are not friends of a strike team member from hot joining the squad during a mission in progress.
About 2 weeks, not months
I don’t find grouping with random in darktide as awful as in other games, but the biggest contributor for me buying it at release was the promise that they would implement solo and I still think we need compensation for that false advertisement
Wrong equivalence, single player games are one and done, what single player game you see pull consistent numbers, its always busiest first weekend, then sharp decline, is wukong still pulling in over a million concurrent players? people want single players and they play it once and never again, or unless there is an update like withcer, cyberpunk, etc …
So if anything, what you say reinforces this idea, and they dont wanna lose players.
Or the games have been build differently, with their previous titles being peer to peer rather than server based and as such it isn’t just a “single switch” to flip.
I’ll just post the quote again I guess, so please read it.
Oh what was that, Darktide has lost 90% of it’s player base not even 3 months after release, while RimWorld has been consistently getting more and more players, even though by this point in time it is already a 5 year old game (February 2023) ?
Does Rimworld still consistently update? No major scandals or bits where the devs lie to people?
Thanks for the correction

Truly zero evidence (or thought?) was put into this opinion. This really is just “a game dev told me this once so now I take it as gospel” huh?
Again, without solo mode the game is more or less due to become unplayable as soon as the population in your region gets low enough. But clearly you don’t care about preservation, nor good practice for the customer.
You seem intent to instead smugly describe your views on what is profitable, then shrug your shoulders and say “it is what it is”, as if there’s no place to criticise bad practice because it is technically more profitable for the company.
Grow a spine. Stop talking of how it is, instead of how it should be.
After your recent streak, shocked it isn’t a rat saying this 
My hope for gamers reached its lowest point yesterday when I stumbled upon a thread of people gleefully pre-ordering an early access game.
I almost envy young gamers’ ignorance because, as an old, seeing what we had turn to this shite of corporate coprophagia hurts that much more.
If the servers are up and population is 1 the result would be solo games only 
I’d pre-order an Early Access game if it promised guaranteed me Solo Mode for Darktide.
I already know how promises go, it’d have to be a guarantee lol.
In before someone AI decompiles true offline solo mode into Darktide.
Probably will happen before an official version lol.
well everyone watching their offspring “game” that way and not decisively slap em good at the threat of terminator style retro abortion and trying “take #2” instead of further raising that disappointment and unworthy successor to someone breaking whole lan parties in his prime,
is to blame here 
hard games make good players
good players make games easy
easy games make weak gamers
or however that metaphor goes about gramps single handedly wiping a platoon of enemy soldiers with his spoon on the way to the latrine 
somewhere down that food chain we gotten scrawny dude swiping mama’s credit card for a pink fortnite clown dress
