PlayerUnknown has always been a bit of an idiot though.
First I’ve heard of it. Is it any good?
Probably not if it can shutdown.
Unfortunately not all good games are popular
It can be shutdown, I don’t want it.
It doesn’t look like it is literally shutting down, just ceasing development:
“With that update, we also intend to release the game out of early access and make it free for any players who want to check it out in the future. We are also investigating offering refunds to players who have purchased the game.”
Releasing it for free as-is and offering refunds is a decent move.
Actually, they’re pushing out one last content update and then making free, so even better!
Also:
“Unfortunately I have reached the limits of how far I can continue to fund this journey in its current form. As a result, I have made the hard decision to restructure the studio. We will continue developing our Melba technology with a smaller team, while halting further development of Go Wayback.”
It sounds like they aren’t abandoning the project, they just don’t have the resources to continue at the current scale and need to ease back.
