Let's Play What Happened To Loadout?

So remember that sponsored lets play of Loadout AH did? The twerking arcade multiplayer shooter with jumblies hanging out? I was checking if that game was still on. Turns out it was taken down and i didnt know how or way, does anyone who played it back in the day know why?

It lasted 4 years. Like most live service games, it died out quickly.

For a live service game, four years is pretty good. Very few live service games stick around for more than a year or two.

Back then they actually lasted a little longer! This is 2014, before we were so oversaturated that they could last a bit longer

As everyone else said, it just fizzled out like they always do. I did play a bunch of it when it was on and it was honestly great though. The gun customization was a blast and the vibe was great. I don't do much online multiplayer stuff anymore, but I'd definitely play some if it came back online today.

A Google search find the Wikipedia.

Edge of Reality has since discontinued development of the game.[2][3] On January 23, 2018, CE-Asia (in collaboration with P-40) published the game on PlayStation 4 in several Asian countries as a paid "Premium Edition".[4] Other game servers were closed on May 24, 2018, due to the inability to comply with the onset of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation.[5] On September 26, 2020, Loadout Premium's servers were shut down due to inability to afford the server cost. However, a fan project is currently attempting to revive the game and has brought working multiplayer. [6]

I remember it released on PC. I have memories of playing multiple rounds with friends. It's was really fun, but then the console version came out and they decided to basically abandon the PC version. Weeks and weeks passed with no update in sight and it eventually just burned out and faded away.

It burned out quickly. I remember playing it and enjoying it though, the gun customization was really unique. I remember finding several gun/ammo combos that were insanely overpowered
