Normally, the closure of an online game will bring many consequences when it inevitably receives countless protests from players.
Especially with games that are still available for sale at a price that is not cheap, up to $30 (nearly 800,000 VND) like Islands of Insight in this story. However, sometimes everything has exceptions and Islands of Insight has proven that it is possible to resolve matters in a very civilized way.
Launched in 2023, Islands of Insight is a puzzle game and although it belongs to a genre that is quite picky about players, the game also attracts a stable number of fans.
There is no denying the investment from the developer with beautiful graphics, interesting puzzles but also quite picky about players. So it is understandable that in the end, the game did not reach the expected number of players and according to the latest information, Islands of Insight's servers stopped working at the end of August.
This should have led to a lot of frustration for Islands of Insight gamers, who had spent a large amount of money to buy the game before. But closing the server does not mean Islands of Insight will disappear. Instead, an offline mode was released in July, keeping the game world intact, with the same biomes, respawn puzzles, and daily quests, without requiring an internet connection. Of course there will be no online or co-op modes but it's not a big loss. To even help players have a better experience, the developer also fixes performance errors on players' PCs and SSDs.
Islands of Insight gamers will have until October 30 to transfer their online progress to the offline version through the option in their account. And perhaps this is a rare time that even though an online game is closed, the publisher still receives strong support from gamers.
