End of Service Announcement — Collective: the Community Created Card Game News

Hey everyone, I'm sad to announce that Collective will be ending service on July 31st, 2023. Many things contributed to this decision, including declining player count and patreon income, our inability to find a manager for the project, and the recent drama with Reddit. It's been a terrific three years since the steam launch, but live service games are inherently unstable, and unfortunately we never found a way to make the game self-sustaining. We've always been blown away by the community's creativity and dedication, and we'll always be proud to have brought everyone together for this project.

In the short term we'll be disabling in-game payments and shutting down the Patreon.
After July 31st, this discord server will be made read-only, since we don't want to leave the space open but unmoderated.
We'll be posting a google drive folder with all of the cards that made it into the game officially as a long term archive. I've also added some buttons in the card editor to make it easier to download the cards you've made.

Huge shoutout to @MysticKnight , and @Bonk , and the other members of the committee for managing the game for so long, we couldn't have kept going as long as we did without you.

Thanks for joining us on this crazy journey.
Sincerly,
Alec & Nick
