One player summed up the situation in a discussion post titled, You have to be kidding me. Many players were surprised (and some were enraged) by today's news. The move also erases all previous game data, which, for some players, is five years' worth of clan-building and killing. "By retiring our services and subscription service, all players now have the same benefits and features in-game," the Quake Live team says.
