This is exactly what happened to Crucible, which was a very average title released in an extremely competitive PvP shooter scene where players have a plethora of other options. The game simply didn’t offer enough to compete. After a very muted release the game was taken back to a closed beta, to work on features requested by the community and hopefully deliver a more fleshed out experience. Kudos to the devs here, all the new features were added in time (albeit custom games). Crucible’s failure is hardly going to deter the company from releasing more titles and between owning Twitch and having a big licencing deal with Crytek, the company seems well invested in gaming for the near future. We’re offering a full refund for any purchases made. You can find more information on our support page. We will also be disabling credit purchases within Crucible. In the next few weeks we’ll be hosting a final playtest and community celebration, both in-game and in our official Discord. After that point we’ll be disabling matchmaking, although you’ll still be able to play Crucible through the custom games feature. Stay tuned for more information on that event. Servers will stay up for custom games until noon PST on Monday, November 9, 2020. Thank you, as always, for being part of our community. This has been a labor of love, and we’re grateful for the time we got to spend on planet Crucible with you. Signing off once more, -the Crucible team
