Ark 2 Delayed, Survival Evolved Servers Shutting Down Unless You Buy Remaster

TL;DR Summary
Studio Wildcard is delaying the release of Ark 2 to the end of 2024 and killing off the original Ark: Survival Evolved game unless players buy a remastered version called Ark: Survival Ascended. The only way to play any version of Ark is to buy a $50 bundle that includes the remaster and the delayed sequel. Players who already own the original game and DLC will not receive a free upgrade path to the remaster and will have to rebuy the DLC at nearly the same price as the bundle. The decision has caused backlash in the Ark community.
