World Of Tanks Developer's Live-Service Shooter Shutting Down After Only Six Months
Briefly

Steel Hunters, developed by Wargaming, has failed to capture players since its Early Access release on April 2. Initially revealed as a promising mech combat game, it saw a peak of under 4,500 players and hasn't surpassed 1,000 concurrent players since mid-April. The game currently has only 34 players online and is rated as mixed on Steam with only 58 percent positive reviews. An update on July 8 confirmed that the game will not continue, marking its swift decline in the competitive live-service gaming market.
The latest game to spectacularly fail to be a long-running cash cow is Steel Hunters, the extraction shooter released into Early Access just three months ago by World of Tanks creators Wargaming.
Since Steel Hunters launched into Early Access April 2, it peaked at fewer than 4,500 players, and hasn't managed over 1,000 concurrent players since April 18.
Of the nearly 4,000 reviews on Steam, just 58 percent are positive, meaning Steel Hunters sits very firmly in the doomed Mixed territory.
An update added to Steam July 8 explained that the game is not going to last.
