Well, that’s 43 days longer than I expected.

ReasonablePea, do games w The Day Before Servers Shutting Down Next Month, Leaving Game Active for Just 45 Days - IGN

I was so confused by the headline, kept waiting to see what the name of the game was

EmergMemeHologram,

The should have been “Servers For Game The Day Before Shutting Down After Just 45 Days”

That’s still confusing lol. I think the only thing that would’ve helped is quotes around the game title.

pulverizedcoccyx,

All it needed was to not have all the words capitalized, just the game name.

Steam will automatically refund remaining players

Wait, so those players get to enjoy over 1000 hours of playtime and then get all their money back???
Sweet deal!

1000 hours waiting for a server, such a sweet deal

They’d be lucky to get 10 hours out of that game

Refund the game while you still can, if you were silly enough to buy it… Don’t let these scammers get away with such nonsense.

flauschke,

Everybody will automatically refunded

Was not aware, that’s great

I'm guessing streamers who want to make a video about the terribleness for views are the ones willing to pay so much for this game.

Is this going to turn into one of those things that ends up having a cult following?

GoosLife,

Steams most wishlisted game that had an intricate story of weird events and eventually suffered an early demise after a chaotic release? You bet.

How is it even most wishlists if not by using bots tho like I get I don’t pay attention to what’s new much but I literally never heard of the game until I heard of the flop

without using bots

That’s actually what I meant

I’ve discovered this in my own wishlist a few weeks ago. Must’ve been that “this looks interesting, let’s get back to it later” late night steam store browsing, because I do not remember putting it there.

I think it’s the Ghost of Ronald Reagan who’s doing it.

Howd this game get so much attention in the first place? Theres so many fraudulent mobile games flooding app stores every single day.

Well, for one, they probably used bots to garner the “Most Wishlisted Game on Steam” accolade, they also used shill accounts to counter negative reviews and press.

wildginger,

Thats just blind guessing.

People just liked the concept pitch, its not an entire smoke and mirror show.

In a way it’s great that people get their money back, in another way maybe people would learn to not believe the hype if they didn’t…

Nobody should be surprised and everyone who bought this shit should honestly be thankful they are getting their money back.

3ntranced, do games w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years - IGN

Breaking News: Gamers surprised to hear anyone still plays Mario Kart 8

SpookyUnderwear,

I am. Played pretty hardcore between 2014 - 2016. Didn’t realize it was still going strong.

smeg,

Speak for yourself, “gamer”, it’s the latest Mario Kart game, obviously we’re all still playing it. Have you gone back to Double Dash?

PobrePerformer,

The latest one is “Mario Kart Arcade GP VR” how can you call yourself a “gamer” if you don’t have four of these machines in your living room? Smh

smeg,

I actually built my own go-kart track next to a tortoise sanctuary and a banana plantation for the true experience, casual!

CrayonRosary,

Mario Kart Arcade GP VR

Does it come with a vacuum tube to collect the vomit?

3ntranced,

I just meant in the sense that it was in the top 20 games in the US. Of course its the most popular mario kart game at the time, but I had no idea people play it enough to generate a concurrent playerbase that large.

With the general lack of content beyond the initial unlocks/DLC and track packs, I wouldn’t think there was that many people playing essentially becomes a time trial game every day. Then again I play wow now so maybe I do understand.

smeg,

This is to do with sales, not any concurrent active player metric. Even if it weren’t though, Mario Kart is about playing with friends locally!

3ntranced,

Just need to get some friends…

smeg,

Everyone’s your friend when you’ve got Mario Kart! (Then you blue shell them on the line and you’re back where you started, worth it though)

cmysmiaczxotoy, do games w Insomniac Hackers Release Stolen Data, Leak Wolverine Videos, Future Projects and More

Says leak includes a bootable game. I wonder if also playable

Squizzy,

Yeah the video makes it look fairly good, wall climbing and scent based detective play.

Tbh it’s made me enthused for the game even if the build is lacking detail and lighting.

They should have targeted EA instead

And also basically all their employees’ personal information. Yikes

That is a shitty move alright

It really sucks for everyone. Not only videos and important company data, reportedly the entire story of Wolverine was leaked and some people are posting spoilers for it. Now they’ll feel compelled to change it.
