Theres a little bad news today if youre an avid fan of Age of Empires Online. Gas Powered Games has announced that future content development for the title is coming to an end once the little thats still in development ships out over the next few weeks. But dont worry, Age of Empires Online isnt shutting down and will continue to operate as normal.
According to the announcement, the decision to cut future content development was made because the cost of developing the content was no longer cost-effective.
Why no more content? Because creating top-tier content, as we have been for the last year and a half, is very expensivetoo expensive to maintain for long, as it turns out. We can no longer afford to keep creating it. AOEO already has a very large amount of high-quality, hand-crafted entertainment, and adding more is no longer cost-effective.
A brief FAQ was included with the blog post here.
