Today marks the end of Boss Key Productions shooter LawBreakers. The game's servers have been officially shut down.

Press F to pay respects

[Zeref]

They were still open?

[Gwiz]

Blezinski is writing a book about what went wrong.Who's going to buy that?or is it going to be a bedtime story?
lol

[EazyC]

If people didn't care about the game they're not going to care about why.

[Baza]

I already know the narrative. It’s Cliffy blaming everyone but himself, including gamers, why this game failed.

[VTKC]

Alot like feminists, ghostbusters movie and oceans 8 bombed, reason?= its because the white misogynist men didnt go watch it.

Good ridence cliff. Result of your hubris

[ChronoJoe]

People interested in game development? Most likely.

[rainslacker]

Eh. I'm in development, and I'll wait for someone else to read it and tell me if it's worth a read.

I don't really have a major problem with Cliffy, but given his track record and how he sees things, I don't feel that there will be a lot of insight in this book.

For the most part, what went wrong with LawBreakers is pretty apparent, and I don't need to read a book about how he failed to see it, when it was painfully obvious what happened.

There is more to the book than Lawbreakers though, but Cliffy has been pretty public with his career for a long time, and his views on things are pretty well known.

[NeedleEye]

Million dollar IP right there.

[Akira2020]

I'm not concerned, I'll just go play Radical Heights!..................wait , too soon?

[Anthotis]

Good riddance.

[Baza]

I thought they were shut down a long time ago..

[Shuckylad]

Reminds me of brink and battleborn. Some games just don’t make it unfortunately.

[AuraAbjure]

Yeah brink was a GI cover story.

[HighlyDoubtful]

Man brink was fun for a lil bit

[AuraAbjure]

Aww man. Did they stut down the servers quickly or something? Or player base just fell off...

[CrimsonWing69]

Aw man, that one and only player has got to be so bummed out!

[Kiwi66]

At least they won't have to worry about campers 😀

[Tankbusta40]

Nobody buy Cliffy's book!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LawBreakers Servers Closed For Good...........

Lawbreakers was a real disappointment for me. I thought it looked really neat when it was first announced, a nice blend of Unreal Tournament's adrenaline-pumping action with Titanfall/Advanced Warfare's verticality. For some reason it fell off the map for me (as it seems it did for many others), but I got to play a little bit during this final period of server life, and... wow... It's just so bland and boring. Nothing about the game sticks out in a good way. And the "personality" it supposedly has is just juvenile and superficial.

Basically take the above games and their super fun gameplay (in my opinion), and then strip them of all their fun, until they are just skeletons of experiences. Not much could help this game except a complete rework of everything, a la Final Fantasy XIV's renaissance.

Not a huge loss that it's shut down finally. And while I hope the people are Boss Key Games are able to find work elsewhere, I think it's clear with the company's 2 released projects that their goal was to take what was popular, put their own "spin" on it... and suck it of all personality and joy. So maybe it's best that they shut down.

so the very few people that paid like £30.00 for this have been screwed again ?

A true cautionary tale for the modern ages, "If you go Woke, You will go Broke!"

[Smokehouse]

He’ll be back. He just needs to aim for that middle ground and he’d be alright. He aims at the niche quake market that won’t budge, then aims at the mass fortnite market and they don’t budge. Go to your market brah, make a solid adventure game, sell 2 to 4 million copies and keep your f***ing lights on lmao.

[jjb1981]

Was it called Lawbreakers because it was a crime to release this game?🤔

[vTuro24]

Sigh, this game had the potential to be so much more. The gameplay was actually good but the horrible marketing killed it. It was fun while it lasted, I guess. Wish I had played it more while it was still alive, oh well...

F

[TheRacingX]

I feel bad for the people that dropped their hard earned money on an online only game that couldnt even make it a year.... this is why single player still holds value.... not saying it would be great , but at least those people would have something they could still play......now??...just hit the delete button

[C-H-E-F]

lol, 1 year, trash.
