That game came out. I still miss it though, but it isn't a cancelled game.
Still keep hoping for a private server. That game ruined other mmos for me.
If an online only game comes out and is shut down sooner than the developer intended, it's accurate to say it's been cancelled.
Shut down is the correct term. A cancelled game is a game that never released. No need to muddy that definition.
To cancel something is to no longer do something at a future date. If the game was originally planned to exist in a year but no longer does, that meets the definition of cancelled. The OP question is strangely worded - how can you miss a game you were never able to play?
wildstar came out??
Yeah it was out for a year or two and went free to play for another before being shut down
I keep hoping Wildstar gets the City of Heroes like revival, just hoping so so much!
I came looking for this comment, glad I'm not alone 🫶
Miss the world of wildstar the most - its was a really creative theme park
