Some were maybe too rough around the edges, too samey, too thin on the ground with content. However, even those that’ve offered up slick gameplay and novel concepts haven’t been safe from the chopping block, and that sadly now includes Spectre Divide. A 3v3 tactical shooter that, despite some early struggles, did a lot of things right, Spectre Divide will be shutting down within the nex...
