Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 50290, member: 636"] Wargaming pulled the plug on Steel Hunters after just six months of early access gameplay. The mech shooter game launched on Steam back in April but failed to attract enough players to keep the servers running. Company executives decided the project could not survive financially despite passionate fan support. The studio announced the October 8th shutdown date through their official Steam page. Players received the disappointing news just three months after the game first became available. Steel Hunters made its grand debut at The Game Awards ceremony last December with huge promises from company leadership. Victor Kislyi claimed the title would become one of the most exciting mech experiences ever created. The CEO called it a massive moment for their gaming company as they pushed beyond traditional boundaries. These ambitious goals crashed hard against the reality of poor player numbers and weak market performance. The game never even made it through early access development. Wargaming decided to give players a farewell gift before pulling the final switch. All hunters and content became free for everyone to enjoy during the final weeks. The company plans to add custom match support for private games between friends. A farewell tournament will happen before the servers go dark forever. Community members can participate through the official Discord channel for final tournament details. The shutdown adds Steel Hunters to a growing list of failed free-to-play shooters. Many similar games have collapsed before reaching their first anniversary milestone. Wargaming thanked their dedicated community for feedback, creativity, and memorable battles throughout the brief journey. [/QUOTE]
