Police Warfare Kickstarter suddenly and mysteriously canceled

4.5
The Kickstarter for Police Warfare, the proof-of-concept-turned-real-project from ex-Ubisoft/EA/Activision/Epic employee-driven Elastic Games has been cancelled by the studio, roughly two hours ago as of press time. As of its cancellation, the project had raised $25,025 of its sought-after total of $325,000 from 784 different backers.

"Thank you so much for the incredible response to the game," reads an update on the Kickstarter. "We're shutting down the kickstarter account but this is by no means the end of Police Warfare. News will be coming."

OnlyUseThePSG1 I knew it was a scam from day 1


This doesn't mean it's a scam.


It obviously was a scam lol

No it wasn't idiot, the goal wasn't met so it was cancelled there for no money was given to them.
If you don't reach your goal on kickstarter, then all the money is refunded so it was not a scam

It obviously was not a scam.. have you thought of actually reading the news story and not the first line.. It says that they did not raise enough money with only $25025 while they needed over $300000 so they shut down the account. the game was simply delayed and not cancelled.

I heard it got picked up by Activision... Looked like it was going to be a great game and all, would have been much better off sticking with kickstarter, hopefuly they don't mess up the game too much -.-

If you read it correctly it says there just closing there account.. and does not mean the ending of the game just wait for some news and it is a amazing game.

It's a shame,
That game could have had a very interesting story line,
and they didn't even realize it. I would have bought it,
and i'm hoping they end up changing their mind so I can
buy it.
