I had every intention of picking this game up, but with no IR support, I decided against it. The dream of ever having it patched in is dead now. I doubt I'll ever pick it up unless I can find it cheap somewhere just to have in my collection. The good part is that there are still quite a few months left before the server will get shut down.

Woooow. Can't say that's terribly surprising, but wow.

The CoD Activision games (and Goldeneye 007...aka James Bond modern Warfare) were interesting in that they continued working once NWC was shut down like they didn't use the gamespy servers at all (I wonder if them being a big developer allowed them to do that or if anyone could choose to do so but nobody did).
I got the impression from interviews is it was connecting to the developers servers as whathisface (erm Itudaki is it?) said something about there being plenty of player capacity which might not be a statement he would be qualified to say if it was part of Nintendo network.
It however makes me wonder what is going on with the f2p version. It is possible that it is being licensed or sold off (that might explain why tests have been regional too) and original devs just pulling the plug on their servers which is why the Wii U version is coming offline.

I wouldn't be surprised
I had a lot of fun with it single player, so it might still be worth your time and money.
Where? I've been wanting to pick this up once it hit a low enough price point.

Single player was great, really enjoyed it. I'd recommend it to people that like a challenge. Worth the $29.99 imo.

The multiplayer scene has been dead for months now; Devil's Third is all about its amazing single player campaign. The cheese and jank comes together beautifully.
We'll probably never see anything like it again.

I have a feeling it is already out in Japan, but I doubt it will ever come West.

Online ends tomorrow.
Will see if anybody is playing later tonight.
Will finally special day my 160+ Golden Eggs on some costume items.
If I remember correctly you get like 20 for finishing the campaign, 10 for finding all the collectibles and 1 Egg for playing each of the nine levels in Score Attack and playing the chicken minigame.

The final couple of hours now. I managed to get some last minute (well, 48 hrs) MP games on the EU servers for the first time. It was worth it, even though I was awful and had to use offscreen with the gamepad.
Yep. The exploding fruit blender mode too. Didn't get much of a chance to see what Siege had to offer, of course.

PC version is also ending at this March.
Edit: Well it looks like it is for Japan only, but it never came out outside of Japan anyway

There was also a closed beta in Russia a couple of months earlier. An international release was planned, but evidently there wasn't enough interest among potential distribution partners.
God damn. I would've loved to see this release worldwide. The multiplayer had a lot of flair, wish it could've taken off.
