Title: The Frustration of Silence: Wildcard's Decision to Withhold a Trailer

Introduction

In the world of gaming and entertainment, the anticipation of new releases often reaches a fever pitch long before the official launch. Fans eagerly await trailers, teasers, and other promotional materials that offer a glimpse into the exciting worlds and experiences they are about to explore. However, in the case of Wildcard, the game developer behind the highly popular "ARK: Survival Evolved," the decision to withhold a trailer has left many fans frustrated and disappointed. This essay explores the reasons why Wildcard's choice to keep their audience in the dark is a missed opportunity and a letdown for the community.

Lost Hype and Anticipation
One of the primary reasons why Wildcard's decision not to release a trailer is considered a disappointment is the lost opportunity to build excitement and anticipation among their fan base. Trailers are a powerful tool for generating hype and piquing the curiosity of gamers. They allow players to visualize the game's world, its mechanics, and its potential for adventure. Without a trailer, this essential aspect of the pre-launch experience is missing, leaving fans feeling disconnected and unengaged.

Lack of Transparency
Transparency in game development is crucial for building trust between developers and their audience. By withholding a trailer, Wildcard inadvertently sends the message that they are not willing to share their progress or vision with the players. In an era where players have become more invested in the development process and appreciate open communication, this lack of transparency can lead to frustration and distrust.

Missed Marketing Opportunity
Game trailers are not just about excitement; they also serve as valuable marketing tools. A well-executed trailer can attract new players and expand the game's community. By not releasing a trailer, Wildcard is missing out on an opportunity to reach potential players who may not be familiar with their game. This oversight can impact the game's success and its ability to grow and thrive.

Incomplete Information
A game's trailer often provides a sneak peek into the gameplay, graphics, and storyline. Without this crucial piece of information, players are left in the dark, relying on fragmented details from other sources. This lack of comprehensive information can make it difficult for players to decide whether the game aligns with their preferences and interests. Incomplete information can lead to lower pre-orders and reduced enthusiasm for the game.

Community Alienation
The gaming community is known for its passionate and vocal members. When developers choose not to release a trailer, they risk alienating their own fan base. Players who have been eagerly following a game's development may feel ignored or dismissed, which can lead to a breakdown in the developer-community relationship.

Conclusion

Wildcard's decision not to release a trailer for their game has left many gamers frustrated and disappointed. The absence of a trailer means a lack of excitement, transparency, marketing opportunities, complete information, and, most importantly, the risk of alienating the very community that has supported the game. While there may be reasons for this decision, it's essential for developers to recognize the significant impact of such choices on their audience and the overall success of their game. In a gaming industry that values open communication and engagement, withholding a trailer may indeed prove to be a missed opportunity that can have long-lasting consequences.

Old soft was better it was classic old ark and was fun

Will SOTF be in the Ark: Survival Ascended?? Me & my group love playing it daily

DIOSSSSS QUE CHIVO🤩🤩💯💯🔥🔥de ARK

Doesn’t matter if the game is still garbage

Why does Arc have a tether? Other games with bigger maps such as 7 Days to Die don't use tethers so why does it make sense for Arc to have them?

Whatt is survival of the fittest

why not Nintendo Switch?

I just wish ark takes a look at those potato pc ppl
And make ark mobile atleast with more creatures or maps like cmon 1 Map could be enough

Nice that it’s a free update but the console players still need to buy memberships to play online

絶対おもろいやんw

I NEED SOTF ON NINTENDO 🗿

Nintendo switch?

ADD THE GODDAM S PLUS

This mode is over rated. Runs like a windows xp😂.
Played it once and I just wanted it to end. I spot a dragon player and had him finish me off.
They should of done it like a warzone, Fortnite type of mode.
How about iconic locations like the houses in the trailers.
Cave loot crates instead of the flying ones.
From there…armor spawns from primitive to ascended quality, weapons too, cryoed creatures(nothing super op)

Pretty much PVP on demand. This would have revived the game back to its former glory. Not only that, but the skill level would also increase in normal mode. Making people to come back and recuperate the interest of the game.

What we got feels too outdated.
I actually miss the game. That’s why I searched for ark. And this is my opinion

Please update ark mobile

So apparently people with connections to snailgames abuse admin commands and unfairly ban pvp players

Ark is a best game

How come no one is really on it tho?

Your game is absolute trash right now. It crashes every 10mins and constantly doesn't save like it says and when trying to do the already asinine task of breeding in this game on top of this bs its ridiculous im done playing your game. You think im buying it 2x🤣 Nah it'd have to actually work first. Go ahead and delete my comment everyone already knows

Played official pvp on xbox for 5 years on and off,all I ever wanted to do was play this 😂

Good

Released this 7 years to late console ark is SOOOOOOOO dead rn would've been good 3 years ago

If you think about it this game is the best anyone else think this really makes you happy

WHat the fuck why do you cancel cross play.It's ridiculous that you say PC player with keyboard and mouse has unfair advantage.If you can not handle this you should not say you gonna make cross play at the very beginning
