APB To Close Mere Months After Launch
APB, the action MMO created by Realtime Worlds and launched at the end of June, will soon be closing its doors. The game was very expensive to make, and news of the studio's financial difficulties has been circulating in the wake of disappointing sales numbers and reviews. Today, less than three months after the servers went live, community officer Ben Bateman announced that service will be discontinued shortly. One of the developers said, "In every way APB was a dichotomy. I have witnessed the project alter from a fragile and delicate entity used to show the world the depth of our vision through to the sturdy beast we released to the public. There were the unusual errors and crashes which are to be expected, but it worked. Once in the hands of our community I have never seen something elicit such a polarization of people. It was dismissed as overhyped and broken or else taken to heart to be loved and cherished, buoyed on by a fanaticism I was proud to have played a part in bringing to the world."
has eddie bauer been told? that kind of limits advertisers' coverage of their markets, no? fuddles will make it right, someday, a long fauxking time from now, maybe? that's how softwar gangsters 'operate' (on/against each other). we're almost positive it's all to make the 'user experience' more pleasant like fuddles always says. he doesn't have as much time now to help us as he's promoting world depopulation on a 'cost per' basis. it's hard to figure the 'average' cost/who to kill off, when some people have 5 yachts etc... & millions don't even have a toilet. i guess the toiletless folks should be taken out first to help avoid potential odors wafting out over the ocean during the yachting season, which, as always, is upon us again.
"So, when I buy a ticket to see a musical concert, that gives me the ability to see that same concert again whenever I please? Amazing. I thought that once the concert was over, that was it."
Jackass, have you always been a douche?
