Paragon (PC, PS4)

Anyone know much about this game? Looks cool. Almost a 3rd person form of Destiny but with more robot tech. MOBA more than Destiny I guess and it's only on PS4 and PC.

Being excited for MOBA's is hit and miss for me.

When I first glanced at this, I thought it was going to be like Unreal Tournament. Maybe that letdown made me blah on it. I miss Unreal Tournament, though there is a new one for PC. I just don't game on the PC much.

Hope no one here was too attached to this title:

Epic is closing down their action MOBA Paragon on April 26, finalizing weeks of speculation that the game was not long for this world.

The studio announced today that they would be shutting down service for the game in the coming months after being unable to find a path to success for it. The forthright blog post on the subject describes the situation for the game in dire terms, indicating that there is no feasible solution to maintaining the player numbers the game would require to keep going.

"We didn’t execute well enough to deliver on the promise of Paragon," the post from the Paragon team reads. "We have failed you – despite the team’s incredibly hard work – and we’re sorry."

The news follows a story from less than ten days ago, where Epic explained that development on Paragon was slowing down as team members moved to the far more successful Fortnite. Even at the time, the consternation over how to make Paragon more popular was evident within the team's community discussions and it appears to have finally reached a head.

In a rather unprecedented move, Epic is supplying refunds for Paragon for both PC and PlayStation 4. Unlike normal refund methods, the refund is coming from Epic itself, rather than through, for example, Sony. Those seeking a refund will need to link their Epic account first and, after that, access the refund page here (http://paragonhelp.epicgames.com/customer/portal/articles/2313879).

I thought I had downloaded a free version of that for the kids. I think they put out some decent themes for the game too (I wish more games would offer free dynamic themes as advertising for game).
