- Wildlight recently announced that Highguard servers will be shut down on March 12.
- Fans are now flooding Geoff’s post regarding the shutdown, asking for an apology.
- He overhyped the title, even giving it a TGA finale spot, despite not paying for it.
After a painful month since its release, Wildlight Entertainment revealed that Highguard servers will go offline on March 12. The game couldn’t maintain a player base, as most called it generic with nothing new to offer.
However, one person who is taking a lot of backlash is Geoff Keigley. He was the one who pushed Highguard to the finale spot at The Game Awards, and fans now demand that he apologize for hyping it so much.
Why it matters: Keighley was the one who hyped the game so much that expectations grew too high despite the studio not having prepared for it. As it couldn’t land on them, it led to a massive backlash.
The TGA presenter was originally the one who put the game at the event’s finale spot, which is usually reserved for high-profile titles. This led to increased expectations and a limelight that the title wasn’t built for.
Fans are flooding Keighley’s post, demanding that he apologize for this disaster. His comments were too far-fetched, saying the title will “change gaming forever” and that it’ll prove its doubters wrong.
However, Keighly isn’t entirely responsible for the failure. In fact, if the game hadn’t been given the finale spot, it might not even have reached the 100K players it reached at launch. Nonetheless, the label for Concord 2.0 stands true.
