Which is exactly why I didn't buy it. I don't trust megacorporations to keep these services running if they don't become successful at the level of peak fortnite, and neither should anyone else.

New world looked great but the fact that Amazon was footing the bill meant it's days were limited.

I got a good few thousand hours out of it over the years and the community I found there kept me sane through COVID lockdowns - sad to see it go, but happy for what it provided while it was around
