Paragon to Close Down on April 26

Epic Games has announced the closing of their multiplayer online battle arena game, Paragon. The game servers will be going offline on April 26. Epic Games explains their reasoning:

Hey Everyone,

It's with heavy hearts we've decided to close down Paragon.

We truly appreciate everything you've put into Paragon. We received many passionate ideas for where to take the game; the outpouring of thoughtful suggestions is another testament to this incredible community.

After careful consideration, and many difficult internal debates, we feel there isn't a clear path for us to grow Paragon into a MOBA that retains enough players to be sustainable.

We didn't execute well enough to deliver on the promise of Paragon. We have failed you -- despite the team's incredibly hard work -- and we're sorry.

Too long; didn't read? Epic Games will be offering full refunds for all Paragon players, which will come from Epic themselves, and not the platform service you play it on.

To try to make this right, Epic is offering a full refund to every Paragon player for every purchase on any platform. This refund will come directly from Epic rather than your platform provider.

In order to receive a refund, PlayStation 4 players can go through their Epic accounts, while those on PC without an Epic account can use a separate link.

Paragon release in March 2016 as an early access title on PlayStation 4 and PC. They intended to make the game free to play when the full game releases, while offering additional cosmetics and upgrades to those who paid for the early access. Since the game is never reaching a full release, it makes sense to take this path.

The refunding is something that they didn't need to do, and in this modern age of hardcore swindling, it's surprisingly noble from such a large company. It's good to know some developers care more about their games than profit.
