Jeff Keighley Continues to Defend Highguard, But Risks Falling Victim to Gamer Cancellation

Following the announcement at The Game Awards, the developers of the shooter Highguard planned to keep a low profile, but host Jeff Keighley actively promoted the game. After release, the project faced a wave of criticism, yet Keighley remained a fan.

Highguard initially attracted around 90,000 players on Steam at launch, but the audience quickly dwindled. Nevertheless, the game still has a chance to survive if it can maintain the interest of its remaining players.

Now that Highguard is available to everyone, it's clear it hasn't become the blockbuster hit Keighley hoped for. Players met the project with skepticism, as evidenced by social media reviews: from demands for an apology for the release to jokes that the game is "free, but you want your money back."

Despite this, Jeff Keighley remains steadfast in his opinion. On release day, he asked his audience what they thought of the game and received a wave of criticism, but it seems this hasn't deterred him. His recent posts suggest he is either ignoring the barrage of negativity or is simply too engrossed in the game.
