Big oof, long listed game for me and now dead before arrival.
Luckily I picked up FF14 already.
Blue Protocol to be discontinued in Japan, will no longer release in the west.

Bummer that we aren’t even getting a chance to play it.
Sad to see the state of the MMO genre at this point. It looks like we might be hitting a point where there aren’t going to be any new games going forward. I expect most online games will stick to the smaller scales like Destiny or Diablo 4 and just avoid all the complexities that come with large scale persistent worlds.

Man, live service games are shutting down before they even release now, huh?

At which point can the market be considered saturated?
Like, I would imagine that there’s a finite amount of coomers willing to drop their wallets on skins or PNGs of their favourite waifu.

Right now. It’s saturated now. It’s why there have been like tens of thousands of layoffs in the past two years.

The game was a ripoff of phantasy star online 2 except with less slutty costumes, which is the main reason people play phantasy star online 2.
