Epic shutting down Paragon on April 26, offering full refund for all purchases

Wow.
I used to love this game. Played it every night with my friends. All the changes ruined the game for me. Then Fortnite came out and seemed to have killed Paragon.
I'll remember the fun i had with this game.

Seemed inevitable. From what I saw it got a lot of support but never grew. That subreddit is gonna be furious.
Duh duh duh
Another bites the dust.
I thought this one was doing well? Maybe the ROI wasn't high enough for Epic's liking?

Chasing that Battle Royale money. I would've thought the thing to get cancelled would be the new UT.
It never got a single review on metacritic. Remember finding it weird despite being on store shelves
Alright that's it, I'm convinced there's a curse when it comes to PSX closers.
The Last of Us 2 is doomed to fail at this point.

There's a cynical part of my mind that sees them fully refunding all purchases as a tacit indication that it wasn't actually making them much money.
Probably that Fortnite Battle Royale money. Goddamn, just make Unreal 3.
Fortnite is their future then.
They missed the MOBA boat by a few years and they're on the ground floor of the battle royal genre. Doesn't take a genius to see what happened here.

Wow, kind of surprised. I thought it was doing okay. It never really clicked with me, but sad to see it go.
Fortnite : Battle Royale must be causing waves of change internally. It's incredible to me that someone calculated the losses of giving refunds for everything bought so far in the game and that still ended up looking more advantageous than keeping support for it.
Yep. It's been doing really well and their planned upgrades sound like they're all in.
Kind of crazy. I guess it was an opportunity cost thing now that Fortnite BR is taking off? Seemed to be doing alright.
They can write it off as a loss to offset the windfall from Fortnite.
I mean, the MOBA scene is so stacked, LOL and Dota 2 are dominating and we got SMITE/HOTS behind, a lot of MOBAs failed, EA's Dawngate, Crytek's MOBA was killed before a beta and Paragon was nothing special, beside the Unreal Engine 4.
Seriously though, props to them for offering mass refunds, had it been any other dev or publsiher they probably wouldn't have done it
I think it did okay but not great. Fortnite BR being a massive success has probably led to Epic deciding to focus their entire dev division on that.
Well, glad I saved myself from keeping playing. Stopped on November because I bought a bunch of games during Black Friday and didn't come back. Now that I'm recovered (played 750hs in 2017) there's no point. A shame but at least I enjoyed my time with it.
Damn, I remember a friend being super into. It seems that the explosive success of Fornite BR mode killed it.
