CARY – Epic Games on Friday disclosed its decision to shut down its Paragon, an multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) title, setting off a firestorm of criticism from fans.
Here’s a sample:
- “Wtf fr ??!! So you’re gonna abandon the game I’ve been playing for more than a year ? I’ve never been more attached to a game and you close it just because fortnite is here ?! A lot of us have been supporting the game and you’re letting us down !!! Wtf I dont get it
- “man it sucks i love this game so much and invested so much time in it, sad to see it go :(“
- “I hope this is April’s fool in advance but this isn’t funny”
- [Epic replied: “Sadly, no. All of the information you need will be found here.”
- “I’ve read it but I cant believe that I wont be able to play ever again once you closed down the game… I made good friends over this I’m really sad …”
- “It’s been a long journey and I’ve made so many friends along the way. In such a short time, Paragon had become such a large part of my life and who I am. I’ll be quite sorry to see it go. Thanks for the ride.”
- “You guys have broken my heart :(“
- “Damn it it’s not even a bad game just try and not close it down !!”
- “Also I will not support anymore Epic games.”
The game’s servers will be shut down April 26. Epic is offering refunds to players who made purchases linked to the game.
“We didn’t execute well enough to deliver on the promise of Paragon,” Epic said in the announcement.
“We have failed you — despite the team’s incredibly hard work — and we’re sorry.”
Epic recently said it planned to shift more resources to support its wildly popular Fortnite game.
