I'm out of the loop did they un-release the game?
It will be delisted on the 9th
Servers are gonna close today
Shit should be public domain, free for anyone to host themselves. I don't give a shit about this particular game but leaving the preservation of cultural history up to for profit entities is not a good idea as they have proven time and again.
They did hint that they might bring the game back, but it’s not 100%
A game dead before launch, amazing! At least we got Black Myth Wukong this year
They refunding people or was it free to play?
Suprisingly they’re refunding everyone, it was 40 USD too
Wow from the sounds of it they're gonna lose like, 400 dollars out of this debacle
There’s also the $100 million development cost
Presumably it will come back as some free-to-play, live-service microtransaction-filled nightmare that can be supported by a few whales and eventually make up the cost
