This worried me ngl

It reads like an AI assistant almost 😞

What people think happened (for some reason):

OM Team makes the original OM game

OM Team abandons it for no reason

OM Team makes Nightbringer

OM Team abandons Nightbringer for no reason

OM Team makes third OM game

Will definitely abandon it for no reason

And all of this is done out of greed, apparently (despite the fact that constantly releasing and "abandoning" games is a terrible business move that won't actually make you any money)

What ACTUALLY happened:

OM Team makes the original OM game

Game absolutely blows up, the servers become overloaded and are unable to keep up with the volume of players

Servers become too outdated to continue using long term

OM Team makes Nightbringer, giving the OM franchise room to grow again, and using servers that aren't nearly as obsolete and overtaxed

Meanwhile, the parent company (NTT Corp) spends multiple years making atrocious business decisions and mismanaging their subsidiaries, including Solmare

NTT Corp makes extremely bullshit decision to wrap up the OM games because they no longer want to fund the development of otome games AT ALL

OM Team is forced to make a hasty and unplanned conclusion to NB's main story, leaving the OM franchise in an uncertain position going forward

OM Team doesn't want to let the OM franchise die, promises to still release new content and projects

OM Team finds other game dev studios to collaborate with, and are now making a new OM game so that the franchise can keep living

OM Team takes fan demand into serious account, and heavily priorities romance in the new game, with deeper and more intimate relationships (something the fans have been begging for)

And this is all factual. This info has been confirmed by the old mods/staff of the official OM Discord, as well as multiple data miners who were able to see firsthand how outdated and overburdened the servers actually are. NTT Corp's business moves are very public and can easily be viewed online. None of this is a secret.

I'm not saying that the games are above criticism, or that nobody is allowed to have opinions about the new game coming out. All of that is fine. But there's a huge difference between an opinion, and outright misinformation. And the OM fandom has a huge problem with uncritically believing misinformation at face value and repeating it/spreading it around - which is at both the games AND the fans' detriment overall.

Obey Me content creators, be prepared to carry the entirety of the fandom ✊️

Edit: as if yall weren't already

[nihtscada]

I just got reminded of the (original) Obey Me game and honestly it was SOMETHING

cause the brothers would be like

"Wow MC you really remind me of my DEAD SISTER. Now let's make out"

[arie2faced]

solmare don’t pmo…. this BETTTTAAAAAA be damn good. but i am definitely going to miss the content for the games.. 😭😭

[folkdevilfables]

Solmare has two apps they shot to fucking nirvana... For what exactly?

Only to turn around, announce another project with not even HALF the original cast for sure in it and then beg for our money?

That. Certainly is a choice on their part.

If we bully Solmare hard enough, we can finally get the last 5 fucking event stories uploaded to Nightbringer🙃

Better the Devil you know than the seven perfect strangers of demons that have suddenly become your roommates for the next twelve months, or however the saying goes.

[shitty-obeyme-aus]

I know people are sad that both OMGames will get shut down but I just think it's so funny that they decided to roll out those date tickets like 2-3 days before just to get some extra cash lmao

Sharing the thread I wrote over on Twitter, since there's been a lot of misinformation around Nightbringer recently

I see a LOT of people accusing Nightbringer of existing purely for "greed" because Solmare is "money hungry" when that isn't even remotely close to the truth.

And of course, legitimate criticisms are valid! No game is perfect (and I'm certainly not trying to claim that OM or NB are flawless) but criticism based on misinformation isn't helpful for anybody ✌️

Solmare may be done, but I’m not going anywhere.

They can stop making updates. They can move on to the next shiny thing, whatever makes them the most money. But I’m still here, and I’ll stay here. The fandom, the fanart, the fanfics, the headcanons, it's all here, and it won't be disappearing just because some company decided to capitalise on their opportunities(good for them ig).

I’ll still cry over Lucifer’s rare soft moments, still laugh at Mammon’s antics, still admire Satan’s love for cats, still cheer Levi on when he finally steps outside his comfort zone. I’ll still be here for Asmo’s self-love reminders, Beel’s bottomless pit of a stomach, and Belphie’s naps(more like comas).

I’ll still be here, cherishing every memory and making new ones. This fandom isn’t just alive, it’s thriving. The Devildom is eternal, and this fandom will never die.

Solmare just announced that a new Obey Me! app is currently in development.

According to the video included in their tweet, it's scheduled to release in 2025 and focuses on the 'what if' scenario of living married life with the brother of your choice and the side characters are nowhere to be seen so far
