APB game to shut down (All Points Bulletin)

[Mark]

xbox live fails, that's the reason i got a PS3 instead..

[bigsharn]

Just as an update, Realtime Worlds and Steam have announced that they're not giving refunds to people who bought the game... Weirdly EA Games have stepped in and offered people who bought the game free vouchers and games as compensation.

[Mark]

So, if i go out and buy APB for like £25 EA'll give me the new Fifa. :tongue

I think it only applies to games bought pre-announcement. And no doubt it will be a discount of MoH

[bigsharn]

It's coming back

Apparently, they're re-releasing it as a free to play MMO in early 2011

A FREE MMO? I thought they were having problems with money and up keep. If it becomes free, it'll drag me back to Windows. At least for a few hours.

[bigsharn]

World Of Tanks is a free MMO...

But WoT is rather unknown and not nearly as satisfying or deep

[Mark]

I'd never heard of it until SHARN. No idea what it looks or plays like. (WoT).

GIGGITY. Though on a serious note, neither is apb, there was only a marginal amount of marketing done for it, myself and mark only knew about it through another computing enthusiast website, and WOT is still only in Beta so it's not really a surprise that it's not as well known
