Not the ping we were looking forįurther Reading Amazon announces streaming gaming service Luna, launching next monthWeirdly, Amazon Games has promised to continue patching and touching up the game in its 30-day end-of-life period before shutting down development and "transitioning" its staff to the upcoming MMORPG New World (which received its own delay from this fall into 2021) and "other upcoming projects." The game's matchmaking service will be shut down first, while peer-to-peer "custom games" will continue to work until the game is shut down on November 9. Though the game launched with considerable attention, including a promotional blitz on the Amazon-owned game-streaming platform Twitch, it only briefly maintained a player population exceeding 10,000 users. This followed the game's formal delisting from Steam in July, which followed painfully low concurrent player counts (as low as 200) that made it difficult for players to successfully matchmake with each other. The company is taking the extreme measure of offering a "full refund" for any purchases made during the free-to-play game's lifespan, and it's directing customers to make refund requests through either Steam Support or Amazon's own contact form, depending on where purchases were originally made.
