Former Xbox Game Pass Time-Loop Shooter 'Lemnis Gate' Shutting Down

Shocking they give so little notice. I would be super annoyed if I bought a game and then a few months later important functionality was removed. Why devs think it’s acceptable to take money and run, I dont know. Microsoft should insist on at least a year notice.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea, But I bet the game devs themselves have only known about this desicion for a short amount of time. When a product starts costing you more than it is making you gotta make changes.

It sucks because I thought this was a really cool game and played a fair amount when it first launched. But I remember after taking a few weeks off and then getting back on, just getting my a** waxed. Haha It was a really cool idea though and they implemented the mechanics very well. Probably was a pretty hard game to go from concept to actual game.

If anyone from the Studio sees this, I am looking forward to seein what your next project is and I wish you luck!

I'm sure people will blame Game Pass for this just like they did with Aragami 2.

@Solidchief How are people blaming GP for these issues?

@BrilliantBill Fanboys on Twitter blamed GP for Aragami 2 developers closing. I'm sure they'll do the same with this game.

i dont think they should be allowed to keep selling it, knowing full well its closing

They did a terrible job of marketing this. For some reason I thought it was a top-down twin stick shooter like the Ascent. I downloaded it expecting that, and was quite surprised to discover that is, in fact, a multiplayer-focused FPS! Since I have no desire to play a multiplayer FPS, I quickly deleted it. Shame that it was unsuccessful, but they can't all be winners.

If the devs and publishers didn't realise this fully expecting it to be a 'niche' title with a small player base they're idiots. They probably expected a 'CoD Beater' with the power of this gimmick to make it happen. There was no way that was going to work.

I wanted to like this game but the stick feel ruined it for me IMMEDIATELY. I quit and installed before finishing the first round.

@senote Generally these successes have to be organic. If you try to engineer a rival to a successful game it almost always fails. Anthem vs Destiny
Killzone and Resistance vs Halo

I am sure there are other examples I am missing.

I downloaded this thinking it was gunna be something different to what it was, after trying it for a bit I was done with it for good.

@BrilliantBill perhaps, or maybe they're all just really terrible at understanding what makes the original so good.

I tried this, because I was interested in the concept, but the lame characters failed to keep me hooked. meanwhile a similar game i forgot the name of had a better art direction iirc.

Idk some comments are talking about call of duty or halo. This is nothing resembling those. It's a turn based time travelling hero shooter.

I thought the game was marketed okay but I found the concept way too intimidating.

I don't recall hearing anything about this game until this article.... likely a cause for it shutting down. Unfortunate for the studio and devs but not every game is a hit. Even big studios fail, look at square recently, 8/10 releases are turds.
