The developers' policy raises questions.

After the release of Highguard, the developers prohibited downloading the game in Russia, but allowed it in China. Earlier, users from Russia noted that they could not connect to the servers.

However, the developers soon reversed their decision: now downloading the game has been prohibited in China, while in Russia it has been allowed again (at the same time, the connection problem is still being observed).

Meanwhile, the online player count of Highguard on Steam continues to decline: at release on January 26, the peak exceeded 97 thousand players, and by the 29th it was already at the level of 12-13 thousand players. Reviews of the game are "mostly negative."
