In a surprise announcement, QC Games has said that "today is the last official day for" the company and developers are starting the process of winding down operations on Breach. At this time, they do not have any information about the game's future and player accounts but they will be offering information in a future article with answers to questions. For the time being, Breach servers will remain open, though any purchases will be shut off beginning tomorrow.

    I know it wasn't exactly making waves, but closing down your company's first game before it even launches? That's just crazy.

    Are they publicly traded? Perhaps an investment deal fell through due to lukewarm early access performance.

    That's too bad. I think this had potential to be a really fun game. Sadly I had a feeling this might happen soon. I tried to play last night and after 15min in queue I had to just exit the game.

    Should've seen it coming. Devs shot themselves in the foot day one, refused to listen to their community, and now their game is dead not even 3 months after release. At this point, its bordering on a cash grab. Make a cheap af game, work on it for 10 weeks, and begin shutting it down. Amazing.

    They probably needed a certain amount of hype to keep funding going not sure. But it's interesting, they couldn't get hype even after having the game free. It sucks to see a game shut down before it even comes out fully.

    The world makes no sense when a game like Bless still strives but this one never will see the light of day past it's growing pains.

    Well that tune is stuck in my head now... thanks!

    Weird, there was some bonus items or something added to Twitch Prime members not too long ago for the game too. Thought that would help the game.

    I mean, I knew the game was bad but I thought it had a few more months before it tanked. It didn't even make it out of Early Access did it? That's why you dont buy into it...

    Not surprising, quite often games I've never heard of close down.

    Developers be warned...

    Not surprised. It was way too bare bones...even for early access.

    Some people (like me) where probably waiting until it launched. Supposedly, it was going to be free to play. 

    Still bad news. Hope they recover someday.

    That sounds like they were running out of money, and hoped that the game would catch fire and give them a ton of additional funding if it went into early access prematurely.  And then the sense in which it caught fire is not the "is popular" one.

    It kinda is PvP Focused though - it's a 1v4 PvEvP game

    It's not surprising. They ignored feedback. Classes were all damage dealers, the healers had insane cool downs and couldn't heal.

    It just wasn't fun.

    And they went by far to early from Alpha/Beta into EA. Very Bad Move there.

    I'm actually very furious at the moment. Looking at steam reviews, they have swarmed every players' pcs with actual spyware that is iesnare. I've backed this game by paying for early access.
    This " fail " almost sounds deliberate. First, milk the players with early access, sell $99 backer packs (thankfully I haven't went that way), just patch the game 3 times with minimum development cost.
    Then gather data with that spyware and sell the data. Sounds too real to be a conspiracy.

    I was expecting the game going down the path, seeing "13 players online" after they deployed a patch that introduces a new class etc.

    If I'd have some power and time, I'd definitely chase these thieves and beat my money out of their face.
    That furious I am.
    Bunch of thieves. Doesn't even worth spitting on their faces.

    Another PvP focus or BR wannabe, it would explained it don't make it out the door like most low key pvp games. I will say a game without PvP is a good game, but a game without PvE = dead game. Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy PvP game but I or for most ppl can live without any PvP in any game. For the obvious ppl, this exclude the pvp genera of course.

    For me I don't care for pvp element in PvE games and its best without it, the only reason its in the games for the obvious, PvP is cheap content on par with phone game development cost. Another way pvp only good for profit from competition to see who have bigger ego while the cash shop is the real winner, would explain a lot on why cash shop/MTX are so proliferating.

    Lastly, this is indeed the first time I ever heard of this game, unsurprisingly, its pvp focus which mean short life but this one is really shorter then most. Its sad for those that are into this game, its one less for us gamer as a whole.

    A sad post to welcome you to the boards, but all the same welcome! :)

    I know that Cohncarnage (sp) think that's his name was asked by his subscribers to play this game. He did do a few vids and seemed to enjoy the game.

    I'm sad for these guys but the moment they announced Breach I knew it was only a matter of time. I'm actually surprised they made it as far into the process as they did. This held especially true when I saw the trailer and watched the gameplay. It just had no staying power, there's nothing this game did that many other games didn't already do but better. If you want the 4v1 type of games there are plenty out there. The rest of the game just looked boring.
    I like to complain about games.
