We've previously put these Amazon Games mascots behind prison bars; now, they're in flames. RIP, Crucible. We hardly knew ye.

As it happens, Amazon’s notion of a Crucible could not deal with the extreme heat and stress of the gaming sector.

After launch in May of the year, Crucible, Amazon Games’ initial large scale shooter name for PC, will cease getting upgrades and matchmaking service on November 9the studio declared Friday (in the specific end-of-week hour which awful game-news tales are usually delivered to pasture). The business is taking the utmost step of supplying a”full refund” for almost any purchases made throughout the free-to-play game’s life, and it is directing clients to create refund requests via Steam Service or Amazon’s contact type , based on where purchases have been initially made.

This followed the match’s formal delisting out of Steam at July, which followed very reduced concurrent participant counts (as low as 200) which made it hard for gamers to successfully matchmake with one another. Although the game started with significant focus, such as a promotional blitz about the Amazon-owned game-streaming stage Twitch, it just temporarily maintained a participant population surpassing 10,000 users.
