For those of you that don't know--which will be most of you--Bullet Run was a free to play FPS that was kinda sorta mediocre, but I thought I'd let you all know that it has ceased to be. Here's a statement from SoE.

It was certainly unpopular and a pretty crummy game. It was SoE, so, the micro-transactions were mostly disgusting. The player count was around 40 or so the last time I played, which was a couple of months ago. That in itself blew my mind.

I guess I shouldn't be so shocked that it has died so quickly, I haven't seen anyone talk about this game or report its end or anything!

So, I'm curious. Did you know about it? Did you play it? I am fascinated by its lack of exposure. It raises questions about this now-crowded genre. You only have to look at the Steam Game and Player Statistics to see that people play the same multiplayer games, both f2p and non-f2p, every single day. Who the fuck would want to play this game...

I Just feel bad for Acony Games (developer) I know that they've spent years making it under different names.

I wasn't surprised at not hearing about this game, until the SoE part. Do they not like to promote their games? I did see a Planetside2 commercial the other day, but this game's existence (and death) is news to me

Ya see, that's pretty interesting.

One of the server closure reminders on the SoE site effectively says; go play Planetside2 instead.

What the hell...

Games live and die by advertising, people.

I played one game of it, it was TERRIBLE

Never even heard of it

Game looks like crap, so maybe don't make crap games?
