Highguard Dev Returns After Social Backlash, Regrets His Post

Wildlight’s Highguard is shutting down after a brief run; developer Josh Sobel reactivated his X account and apologized for a now-deleted post that blamed gamer culture for the game’s reception, calling it a stress-fueled misstep while acknowledging toxic discourse helped shape the climate. The game launched Jan 26, 2026 and went offline Mar 12, 2026 after drawing roughly 1.5 million players in its opening period, with a peak around 100,000 concurrent players. Sobel says he values the online connections he made and has set his replies to followers-only.
