Epic Games will continue to systematically dismantle the library of games we've come to love and the relationships built upon them.

I played the OG Insurgency MOD, the first standalone title and have so much love for Sandstorm and the memories I made in it. It always worked flawlessly and has been an incredible experience for me and the many friends I got onboard to play with me - now I can't even start or join a party. Hell, I can't even play a match by myself for more than a minute without being kicked by the anti-cheat because my "Authentication failed."

Epic does not care about you or the video game community. This is a company that had one hit but can't maintain their market position and have continually failed to gain customers with their practices or product appeal; thus, they use their Fortnite affluence to grab your favorite games by the balls and leave you the ultimatum: bend the knee or lose what you love.

Hope you've all got diamond knees.

UPDATE: I tried the game again. I can actually play, but every time I open the game it force-opens my browser and takes me to the Epic Games page. Even after closing the browser and continuing to play it will wait a little while and open another browser mid-game, tabbing me out (usually resulting in death.)

I think they've actually patched the game to make it playable; however, the unannounced EG integration and damage it did was enough to justify me writing this and jumping ship (at least for the time being.)
My review stands based on my most recent experience with the game - if the sour taste ever fades enough for me to want to play again then I'll make a redaction accordingly.

I haven't bought or played the game yet, but what does this game have to do with Epic? Genuinely curious bc I don't see anything about it being correlated with Epic Games aside from the fact that it's also available on their launcher

I came he4re to tell you hte games doing fine and you're spouting nonsense, but then I saw that in the past 30 days, 4k players was the peak. This game is not doing fine and I stand corrected lol.
