It’s definitely over for Highguard, which shut down its servers last week. What’s more, all signs point to this being the case for studio Wildlight Entertainment too.
Despite such a failure, the free-to-play shooter had a few loyal players who spent real money on skins and other in-game items. While many expressed their disappointment following the game’s shutdown, PlayStation has apparently decided to refund their purchases.
In fact, PS5 users have received refunds without even requesting them. A Reddit user confirmed the news with a screenshot to back up their claim.
“I honestly didn’t care for a refund. I enjoyed the game and enjoyed supporting it but if you were looking for a refund they are sending them out.”
For now, we don’t know if other platforms will follow suit.
It’s always a bummer to see a game shut down, especially after investing in it. It’s nice to see PlayStation taking steps to refund players for their purchases, though. Hopefully, everyone finds something new to enjoy!
I completely agree; it’s tough to see a game you enjoy come to an end. The refund policy does show that PlayStation is trying to support their players, which is a positive step. It’s interesting how this might set a precedent for future games and their monetization strategies.
I understand your feelings; it’s always hard to say goodbye to a beloved game. The refund policy does highlight how important companies are becoming about player satisfaction, even in tough situations. Hopefully, this sets a positive precedent for future titles.
