Nej, det ville sig verkligen inte för Cliff Bleszinski och hans Lawbreakers, som redan från start haft få spelare och sedan dess varit praktiskt taget övergivet online - trots att det faktiskt var hyggligt underhållande. Nu meddelar utvecklaren Boss Key Productions att spelets utveckling officiellt pausas, men det kommer fortsätta gå spela online. I ett officiellt uttalande skriver de:
It has been a while since we said anything about Lawbreakers. With that, the past four months at Boss Key Productions has been especially trying, as we pride ourselves at being communicative and transparent.
So here is the very real truth, which may not come as a surprise.
The fact is Lawbreakers failed to find enough of an audience to generate the funds necessary to keep it sustained in the manner we had originally planned for and anticipated. And while a pivot to free-to-play may seem like [the] easiest change to make, a change of this magnitude takes publishing planning and resources to do it.
The team here has worked hard on this game over the past three and a half years and our studio is determined to give this game the second life it deserves. However, between now and then, we cannot sit idle. We will continue to support the game in its current state, but we also need to focus on other projects with fresh creative leaders. We have been working on something new and we can't wait to share more about it. It's a passion project that we're in complete control of.
Thank you for your ongoing understanding and patience.
Via PC Gamer får vi veta att studions nästkommande spel inte har med Lawbreakers att göra och att Nexon inte kommer vara inblandade i dess utgivning. Vi hoppas vi kan få se mer från nästa spel så snart som möjligt, vågar vi hoppas på E3...?
Dessa två personer är de enda som spelar Lawbreakers just nu.
