Steam has quietly withdrawn under fire MMO Ashes of Creation from sale after its director and leadership team quit just weeks after launch.

I always had a bad feeling about this game, it sucks that it actually panned out.
I was hoping it would become what they were trying to sell, but I had every expectation of it becoming everything that is wrong about MMOs. The biggest sign was demanding $100 for people to be alpha testers. You should be paying people that instead.
Economic realities exist. You cannot plausible fund a product that is this out there without some community support. And if you don’t plan on selling mtx but be mostly free you gotta make a lot of money. Servers are expensive, yo.
