Highguard is officially shutting down March 12th After releasing just over a month ago



Now that Highguard is shutting down, I hope that every game studio and especially Sony will finally understand that live-service fatigue is real and gamers want good single player story driven games. Studios shouldn’t suffer layoffs and closures because the upper management forces them to make everything live-service. The money and budget that was wasted on some live-service game like Concord, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League and the notorious “AAAA” Skull and Bones would’ve probably equal to 5-6 good single player games. If you take a look at cancelled games for PlayStation 5, most of them were live-service titles. Its no wonder then why this generation of consoles had so few exclusive titles.









A former Highguard developer blames “gamer culture” for the downfall of the game “Within minutes, it was decided: This game was dead on arrival ... at launch, we received over 14k review bombs from users with less than an hour of playtime”
