Gamespy:
When you're a busy gamer, it's always out with the old, in with the new. Out with the new, in with the new-er. There are, however, a couple that manage to doggedly hold on to their space on my hard drive for dear life, and Blacklight: Retribution's one of them. It is, in that respect, a true realization of the F2P dream: a high-quality take on a tried-and-true genre that -- thanks to a low barrier to entry -- makes for an excellent go-to if I'm looking for quick fun. It's only been out for a few months, but as far as shooters go, it feels like an old friend.
Blacklight Retribution PS4 operations will continue without official support but the game's PC version has been shut down.
Shut the servers down but let people host their own and keep these games active for those who want to play. Its bullshit when they kill a game completely when they could easy patch it for hosting / creating online content
Hardsuit Labs has mentioned that the Blacklight Retribution servers are shutting down on March 11 for PC, though PS4 version will continue as is. All items in the PC store are now free.
Remember playing this when I first got a ps4. Never good news to see games shut down I guess one day online only games can bite the dust
This is why buying into these sort of games are a bad idea.
See this is why online mp only games effing sucks and definitely will never support them. ;)
Depending how much of a cult following it has, it could be revived by some mod team in the distant future. Similar cases have happened with games like 2142 and Star Wars Galaxies.
