Wants to see some improvement with New World

Shroud also noted that even with this break, he will continue to spend a lot of hours on New World. However, he mentioned that the developers need to fix many of its issues, such as bugs and exploits, which have become rampant. Shroud had earlier stated that the developers also need to figure out an endgame for New World if they don’t want players to quit the title.

“The amount I was playing that game, and the amount I will still continue playing that s*** game. I’m kidding. I love New World. But there are so many bugs and exploits, and it doesn’t stop.”
