Highguard is the latest live-service shooter to suffer a spectacular failure on launch., and it's a failure that some seem to have taken delight in witnessing. For those involved in the game, however, the reception has been heartbreaking.
After just two weeks, Wildlight Entertainment said it was laying off the majority of its development team because Highguard had failed to maintain a big enough audience to justify working on it at scale. Instead it will work with "a core group of developers to continue innovating on and supporting the game".
