The market has spoken. But will the industry listen?
The VC money will.

Now you're the Highguard guy at the barbershop. You gotta find a new one. I see no other way out.

Today we're sharing difficult news. We have made the decision to permanently shut down Highguard on March 12.
Since launch, more than 2 million players stepped into Highguard's world. You shared feedback, created content, and many believed in what we were building. For that, we are deeply grateful.
Despite the passion and hard work of our team, we have not been able to build a sustainable player base to support the game long term. Servers will remain online until March 12th. We hope you'll jump in with us one more time to show your support and get those final great matches in while we still can.
The team is excited to release one final game update to enjoy in the remaining life of the game. We'll be adding a new Warden, a new weapon, account level progression, and skill trees! Full patch notes are coming, and we're targeting tonight or tomorrow morning for patch release.
From all of us at Wildlight, thank you for playing, for supporting us, and for being part of Highguard's story.
Bro, that's NO Guard.

But will they learn?
No, no they won't.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
God I hope this flops worse than Concord. Guerrilla deciding this is what their next game should be sickens me. Fuck all of these games, until they get it - All of them gotta fail.Nah. The real big bomba is this.

Dont you love that Fortnite montage? lol
Also, the three characters on the right have almost the same pose. Guy on the left thinks he's at a rock concert.
The second character from the right with the horns has her arm up in the air. If you glance at it, it looks like a skinny guy with a headband holding a bow.

I love how every time I see Concord's budget mentioned someone has added another hundred million.

Here is Google bigAIbrain summary which matches what I actually see:
"Regarding "incel" in the context of Highguard, there are no credible reports or search results linking the game or its development to that community. One social media post mentioned it in a non-constructive way regarding player numbers, but this is not a factor in the game's official narrative. "
Ever since Concord there has been this weird attempt to merge woke with GaaS but these two things are not the same just because one big GaaS failure was hamstrung by its shitty woke character designs.

Who is gonna tell him boys?.
The idea of going "woke" in the first place was to capture more demographics, make your audience bigger and make more money. So in a sense, woke and GaaS are related (also funding happened with this idea in mind). So it's not weird at all. It's just that their connection is more nuanced.
