Not sure if people follow MOBAs much but Waystone Games had to shut down Development on their game Dawngate because it wasn't making enough money for EA. The game had just opened to the public 6 months ago and because it isn't raking in money EA shut it down. I'm just done with EA. They aren't getting any of my money. Titanfall was fun but it's all over now. I'm sick of everything being destroyed by EA.

Quite honestly, nothing of value was lost. The MOBA genre is so over saturated at this point that anything that isn't returning a profit within 6 months is likely just going to end up being a money pit for the rest of its lifespan.

I would have done the same.

They didn't even give the game a proper chance. It has had sparse advertisements in comparison to other MOBAs like Strife and Smite that I'm really irritated at how sudden the decision was to pull the plug.

I personally played this game a lot with myself and a couple friends before it went into open beta and found it to be the most enjoyable MOBA in terms of gameplay.

I'd say all games like this need to have a LAN/OFFLINE play mode that doesn't require connection to a online server to play because when servers are cut games are killed.

The game was great and fresh, the lore was great, and the art created was also great.

I can understand that it wasn't making bundles of money for EA but I know I spent $60 on it because I loved the game. I'll get that money back according to EA but I'm still salty that a game with such great developers and a great community is dying. I'm hoping that EA will allow some people from Waystone Games to stay and finish a couple things to allow the game to live on with the community.
