Fae Farm's Online Play Ends as Phoenix Labs Shuts Down
Fae Farm, a cozy co-op farming sim, is facing the end of its online functionality, which significantly detracts from its charm. Despite being playable offline, the removal of online play from Steam and its disappearance from the Epic Games Store is concerning. The game's reliance on a now-defunct Phoenix Labs account highlights a critical flaw in its infrastructure. Players may feel abandoned, especially with the studio's closure following major layoffs earlier this year. - Future updates are no longer forthcoming, leaving the game in a stagnant state. - The fact that console versions remain unaffected offers some hope, but it’s a diminished experience for PC users. It’s unfortunate that a game with such promise is now overshadowed by operational failures and studio mismanagement. Fans of the genre deserve better than this abrupt end to what could have been a thriving community.
