But it also means that, unfortunately, we can no longer pay for the servers, GM, and online support and, effectively, we cannot continue updating the game. That is when things ‘went south.’ We’ve felt ourselves under great business, legal, and financial pressure. “After some negotiations, we’ve realized that this deal possesses certain risks for us, and we’re not interested in it. “Recently we’ve received the communications from this company offering a certain deal,” the team explained. Really, the whole situation is riddled with lack of specific details, probably for legal reasons. The team cited that this move is being made for “reasons that are beyond our control” due to an unnamed company’s deal with the Life is Feudal team that put undue pressure on the game that the team wouldn’t agree to or be able to accept. What’s bizarre is that this sunset doesn’t have anything to do with dwindling populations but rather a business deal gone sour.
The Life is Feudal team made the shocking announcement on Friday that it will be shutting down the MMO version of the game on January 18th, 2021, about three years after the game’s launch. Enjoy this Christmas, Life is Feudal, because it will be your last.
