In light of the worker’s injury in the Babylon case, Square Enix will stop charging and shutting down servers in the coming months. And on the reseller side, things don’t get any grander and some do everything they can to avoid ending up with copies in their hands.
Babylon’s Fall wanted to stay strong through thick and thin, even with only one player on the servers, but Square Enix said no. What to do with the unsold then? Offer you! Poisoned gift or really nice gesture? We’ll let you judge.
Babylon’s Fall is free at select stores
By February 27th, 2023, this will be the end for Babylon’s Fall and its servers. The two remaining players must migrate elsewhere. The promise of the sequel is partially fulfilled as there will be a season 2 and a season 3 but they will follow each other day by day. ” However, to express our gratitude to all our players, we plan to implement as many events and other initiatives as possible before the end of the service “. The ideas that PlatinumGames might have for its game will sleep in the closet.
The GameStop brand isn’t going to back the spoon and throw away unsold specimens. This is videogamedeals (via VGC), the Canadian video game channel that informed gamers on Twitter. The brand even offered advice: try going there for a free copy. And according to one user it worked:
In the picture we do not see the price but the mention “Destroy” or “Destroy”. An explanation ? Yes, one user has learned that stores have orders to destroy, not just dispose of, all copies of Babylon’s Fall. “I called 10 stores last night, they all told me they had destroyed their copies. They didn’t just throw them away, they were instructed to destroy them.”. Ordering from Square Enix, resellers, or both? History doesn’t tell.
In a tongue-in-cheek manner, they could have at least buried them in New Mexico, which is where ET the alien games were buried.
