Live Service Fatigue Claims One More Popular Shooter

Another ambitious online shooter is biting the dust, and this time, it seems that players won't even get the chance to return for one last update. GFA Games has officially announced today that PIONER, its post-apocalyptic MMO inspired by titles like STALKER and Fallout, is shutting down. The studio is ending development, canceling future updates, and preparing to take the game's servers offline after failing to secure the funding necessary to keep the project running. In an announcement shared on social media , the development team explained that maintaining PIONER required additional financial support, but they couldn’t find any.
