The news was poorly received on the social media platforms for the game, and the sabreddit is filled with memes about a possible future shutdown.

If a constant online connection is required, it means that saves and playability will be completely limited to the duration of support. It also means that any physical copies of the game will be completely useless in the event of a server outage.
