Indie shooter developers Double Eleven have pulled a reverse-Concord with their game Blindfire.
No one played the game so they made it free to play and are keeping the servers online indefinitely anyway.
The devs wrote in a message to players that “We failed on our terms, and we’re proud of that.”
“Blindfire didn’t blow up. It didn’t top charts. But it meant everything to the team who made it,” wrote the devs. “Instead of shutting it down, we’ve made Blindfire free for everyone.
Not as a marketing stunt. Not as a desperate last push. But because we believe creative work matters, even when it doesn’t go viral.”
