As we celebrate a decade of Rust, I wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for being part of this incredible passionate community. From the early days of 2013 crafting makeshift shelters to the intense raids of today, Rust has evolved into something truly special and exceeded our wildest expectation. If you asked us where'd we be 10 years ago, it would not be here, but we're extremely grateful to be still working on a world class game enjoyed by millions.
It's been a labour of love from all of us at Facepunch, and we couldn't have done it without your passion and feedback. Rust has evolved around player feedback, it's not the game we initial set out to develop but it's game we're incredibly proud of to keep developing.
Thank you for being an integral part of this incredible journey, we look forward to delivering updates for the years to come.
