"Realtime Worlds' online shooter APB was in development for more than five years, but is having the plug pulled on it after less than three months. In a post on the game'sofficial forums, community officer Ben Bateman announced that, "despite everyone's best efforts to keep the service running, APB is coming to a close."
APB's servers are up at the moment, giving players a chance to say their goodbyes to the crime-riddled city of San Paro. In a post on his Twitter feed, Bateman said the servers would be turned off "tonight.""

Damn you Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
good lord that was fast
Well, that was fast, isn't there some minimum time a game has to be playable or something?
sucks for all the people that spent money on this game. i'd be pissed if i bought it yesterday and now they announce this.
Now that sucks.
This was the only MMO with development costs closing in to WoW...
It kinda makes me sad.
Glad I didn't buy it then.
I swear to god it just came out.
That's awful.
That's fucked
That's shit.
I kinda feel bad for the creators.
Spending five years on developing a game and then shutting it down in such a short time between the release must've hurt badly.
It would be nice if they made it now Freeware.
Or if not that, maybe if they allowed hosting servers or LAN.
Sucks.
My friend bought this like a week ago, lol.

I thought beta was fun though.
I called it.
Does tht mean that people can no longer play that game?
That is why you choose to make Crackdown 2 instead of this absolute turd. Silly people.
roflmao, quickest server shutdown in history?

[QUOTE=Blueplastic;24864519]Yep.[/QUOTE]
Holy shit so thats stealing, basicaly?
Damn that was quick, and after such promise before it was released. What a shame.
Wow, really?
It was all hyped up... and it dies within like two months?

no contest, Tabula Rasa was up for like 2 years atleast.
at least add an update that allows third party servers
WHOA. 3 months? I'll bet all the people who spent money on this are never going to buy from Realtime Worlds again as long as they live.

Lame development plans, but worse, the lame business model.
