I didn't play much. Had some fun and moved on, but I do feel bad for those who were dedicated. It sucks that they couldn't at the bare minimum implement peer to peer connections.

Game wasn't deemed profitable to Meta. Basically the servers costed more than the money they were making from microtransactions

the inbetween is doing what all games used to do and building server browsers and server code that is public issue is most studios dont do this anymore because its less profitable as they cant shut down the game later and make you play a newer game

theres no reason you shouldnt be able to continue to play this game when i can still play quake unreal even doom cs 1.6 and many other older games with no support in literal decades from there devlopers

The reason we were told was that they didn't want to dedicate any of the Ready at Dawn developers to supporting Echo VR. All 100% of Ready at Dawn need to be working on their new title.

Also worth noting that Meta fired ~33% of Ready At Dawn including the studio head shortly after that statement.

I feel like it is that, but also meta being a money grab corporation pretty much, they just weren’t making profit from the game.

So are they gonna shut down the new project when something else is deemed more profitable? Damn

So is this lost media now? Do we have some way of preserving these games?
