To say 2010’s Blacklight Tango Down was ignored is probably an understatement. Despite a few good new ideas and a budget price of $15, the game never gained much traction in an overpopulated FPS marketplace. Now, having learned both design and marketing lessons from Tango Down, the developer is back with a new publisher and a wealth of new ideas.
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.
