Friday the 13th: The Game Fans Sadly Dance as Servers Severed for Good | Push Square
In behaviour unique to niche gaming communities, dedicated players of the asymmetrical multiplayer Friday the 13th: The Game have put on a sombre display as servers were severed for good. The title was removed from storefronts in August 2023, but apparently, the fine print read that servers would run through New Year's Eve 2024 for players on PC. Some of the game's most hardcore enthusiasts were logged in for its final moments.

Below, peruse some of the scenes that could be witnessed as the cruelly killed game came to a close, and always remember that licensed IP is a double-edged sword.
Lights out
