Briefly: Just Survive, Daybreak Games's online survival game, is shutting down its servers on October 24, 2018. In a post announcing the shutdown, the team explains that "the current population of the game makes it untenable to maintain."

Streaming a game you're working can be an awesome form of community outreach. Unfortunately, on a recent personal stream, one H1Z1 developer leapt into the game with some of their special powers still on.

Rare today are opportunities for gamers to step outside the prescribed outlines of a developer's intended gaming experience, especially in MMORPGs. Back in the early 2000s, anarchic players eagerly hunted down the virtual unknown, where possibility and impossibility were deadlocked within some specter of the original game.

On May 20, 2003, Sony Online Entertainment launched PlanetSide, one of the earliest massively multiplayer first-person shooters. On July 1, 2016, Daybreak Games shut down PlanetSide for good. MMORPG.com's Steven Messner was there to watch the sky come tumbling down.
