Sony is reportedly issuing automatic refunds to Highguard players for in-game currency after its shutdown The developer Wildlight Entertainment also appears to have gone offline with its website and LinkedIn removed

Players shared that they were receiving refunds without requesting them: dexerto.com/gaming/highgua…

@Dexerto Is this game fun though?

@Dexerto Sad how this game fell so quickly from didn’t even get a fair chance to be successful 🐺🐺🐺

Pick which twin will win! You could score a share of $2 million in Bonus Bets.

@Dexerto Highguard devs be like:

@Dexerto Game didn’t just die… it got erased from history Website gone, LinkedIn gone, money returned 😬

@Dexerto From launch hype to shutdown to refunds… all in under 2 months This might be one of the fastest flops ever

@Dexerto Wildlight Entertainment about to quit making games

@Dexerto LMFAOOOO and nobody requested for a refund

@Dexerto If a studio can just Alt+F4 their entire company and leave Sony holding the bag, the Live Service model is officially a scam.

@Dexerto Imagine spending money on highguard

@Dexerto Who was actually spending money on this game though?

@Dexerto They really ragequit

@Dexerto The money laundry with Sony, two games that they need to fully refund. Millions on development, what is their end goal

@Dexerto At least Sony is doing refunds, but it still hurts for players who invested time, not just money.

@Dexerto This is actually the fastest I’ve ever seen a big game flop. With that being said, awful game 😂

@Dexerto The problem with Highguard is they went full Concord. 😂 You never go full Concord!

@Dexerto It is what it is. I hope the devs can find meaningful work ASAP. Not gonna talk about this anymore, it's been beat to ash.

@Dexerto @geoffkeighley single handily murdered this game by giving it the last Game Awards announcement slot. Then continued to not post or promote their own game until it was released.

@Dexerto As they should! Can't let people get rug pulled.

It’s time to dance! Get it on tournament action with Bonus Bets from FanDuel.

@Dexerto They got decimated overnight.

@Dexerto bro the studio ghosted harder than my situationship after I asked what are we? Website, LinkedIn, dignity — all deleted💀🤣🤣

@Dexerto It's almost like directly blaming the consumers for a fad riding cash in flopping makes them never want to consume anything you make. At least Sony is doing the right thing.

@Dexerto sony's doing the refunds because the studio isn't even around to. website gone. linkedin gone. wildlight didn't shut down, they evaporated. makes concord look like a graceful exit

@Dexerto 💀💀💀

@Dexerto x.com/BGarcN2/status… It didn't even make it 6 months

@Dexerto Bro acting like if he deletes it, it never happened 💀

Full guide for startup builders

@Dexerto game didn't even get a fair shot then poof. studio made negative money

@Dexerto A “live service” that died so fast it issued refunds before nostalgia could form. Scientists classify it as a temporary hallucination with microtransactions.

@Dexerto Nuking the LinkedIn and website is the ultimate "ghosting." Rare W for Sony on the refunds, but this smells like a massive internal collapse.

@Dexerto I would like to congratulate Wildlight Entertainment for having the morels for such an act. There are games who would absolutely not refund people for in-game purchases. This is probably the biggest positive event to happen for this game.

@Dexerto Rare Sony W but also L whoever spent money on this game to begin with

@Dexerto If only someone other then everyone saw this coming

@Dexerto Nothing screams "successful live-service game" quite like the developers nuking their LinkedIn pages and going into witness protection.

@Dexerto Who could of seen this coming 🤯 x.com/i/status/20158…
