Jeff Keighley Continues to Defend Highguard, But Risks Facing Gamer Cancellation

After 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. Upon release, the project faced a wave of criticism, yet Keighley remained a fan.

Highguard started with around 90,000 players on Steam, but the audience quickly shrank. 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 fazed him. His recent posts suggest he is either ignoring the barrage of negativity or is simply too engrossed in the game.
