Removal of H-Hour from the Steam Store
Hello everyone! Just letting you all know the Studio has asked Steam to remove H-Hour and its saleable DLC from the store effective Friday, 29 September 2023. This will not affect those who already own the game. You will continue to be able to download content from Steam as needed and play H-Hour as usual.
This decision was not made lightly. The original Studio plans included seeking out serious investors to rebuild and update the game further and take it to other platforms. However with the economic situation world-wide this never materialised. As the game has aged, interest has also lessened and sales have not covered Studio operational and infrastructure costs for some time now. As a result, the owners met and agreed to cease operations. Rather than leave the game up without support of any kind, they decided to remove the game from the store as well.
The Studio asked that I pass along their appreciation to the H-Hour community for their help and support throughout the development, release and post-release periods of the game. H-Hour could not have existed without this community, the volunteer developers and the dedicated players so thank you!
Accessing Community Support
Though official support will no longer be available, there is a group of dedicated players who have opened a discord server for H-Hour: World's Elite. Within you will find support for the game from the broader community, a place to organise play times, vote on maps for their servers and just hang out. I encourage current owners to join the linked community based discord.
Update 27 Sept 2023 -Game Price/Server Files
We acted on some suggestions you made and significantly reduced the price of the game so if you are interested, grab the game now! We also released our server files to all game owners and will post an instruction guide in the Community Hub soon.
