I think this sufficiently checks all the boxes for a complete disaster: 1047 Games has announced that it will revert portal FPS Splitgate 2 back to beta, lay off an unspecified number of employees, and will shut down the Splitgate 1 servers next month. The sequel launched not even two months ago on June 6, 2025.
"We've heard your feedback and we agree with you: we launched too early," co-founders Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian explained in a lengthy post on X. "We had ambitious goals with Splitgate 2, and in our excitement to share it with you, we bit off more than we could chew. We rushed certain features, made some boneheaded mistakes, and most importantly – we didn't give you the polished, portal-filled mayhem you fell in love with."
