You probably don’t remember Crucible<\/a>, the free-to-play team shooter from Amazon Game Studios, that came out on May 20th. It’s okay. Amazon wishes everyone would forget. By the few reviews available of it, the game was pretty bad. Even though it officially launched as a 1.0 release, and not as an early access title, most accounts characterized the game as a buggy, sloppy, unfinished mess that wasn’t all that interesting to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For the most part, your experience as a\u00a0Crucible<\/em>\u00a0player will stay pretty much the same while we\u2019re in beta.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Amazon is pulling the game from the public eye<\/a> and putting it back into closed beta. If you’re interested in checking out what’s there, you have until tomorrow at 9AM Pacific to download the client. After that, the game will disappear from Steam<\/a>‘s store and only people that played it prior to the cutoff will be able to continue playing, at least until the developers are ready to put it back in the harsh light of day. It’s all part of a previously announced plan<\/a> to right a ship that came out of dry dock already listing to one side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
