APB: End of an Era... a Very Brief Era

[The Continental]

The oft-maligned, and frequently scandalous, APB has finally called it quits. Between the excessive development costs, studio closure, and general apathy the title has seen in recent months, it looks like publisher EA has decided to stop the bleeding. The official site has this to say:

APB has been a fantastic journey, but unfortunately that journey has come to a premature end. Today we are sad to announce that despite everyone's best efforts to keep the service running; APB is coming to a close. It's been a pleasure working on APB and with all its players. Together we were building an absolutely amazing game, and for that, we thank you. You guys are awesome!

From all of the Realtime World staff we thank you for your continued support.

The servers are still up, so join the party and say goodbye!
