GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that US-based videogame company K2 Network has purchased the rights to APB, the Realtime Worlds-developed MMOG that was shut down in September.
The site says an official announcement is forthcoming, and that the deal is in the region of £1.5 million.
Just how long do MMO’s last before going free to play? GameKeysNow takes a look
For every game that truly lives up to its potential, there are a couple that absolutely miss their mark. Be it a simple case of over hyping an unfinished product, to game systems that downright are broken, or even just a game being inexcusably horrible, some games just leave a terrible taste in people’s mouths.
I think rogue warrior needs to be on here. And why Isn't E.T. on here since we're talking about all time terrible games. That game single handily crashed the video game world.
For me Haze. I was interested to play it. That was until I played the demo. Picked it up in a bargain bin later on after its launch and I am glad I did........pick it out of a bargain bin and not pay full price
APB , that game went from having a 100mill dollar budget to bankruptcy so fast , it should be a record on its own
No Dude Nukem: Forever? That games had so much hype surrounding it and it turned out to be a steaming pile.
PC Gamer - The action-MMO first known as APB lives on as APB Reloaded. But if your memory serves, you’ll recall that the urban, massively-multiplayer shooter had a quick death: APB shut down just months after launching at the end of June 2010, coinciding with the dissolution of developer Realtime Worlds.
this game should have always been f2p
Well I hope it does go back online, I personally feel that it was a good game and that it got an unfair boycotting / backlash from the gaming community. Sure it had it's issues but overall it was well done and fun, not to mention that over time they would have added new content frequently.
Gamers are far too critical, spoiled winer's these days and to quick to jump on the "bashing" bandwagon.
It never had a chance the way, this site included , every website/blog bashed it for it's downfalls. Rarely ever highlighting the good things and giving the devs the benefit of the doubt on making improvements over time.
