If Electronic Arts loves anything, it's destroying everything it touches. That's the fate that befell BattleForge, a card strategy game that was before its time. The online game combined real-time strategy, which was out of fashion, with card systems that wouldn't be popular for a few more years.
It was shut down in 2013, one year before Hearthstone released.
If you feel bad that you missed out on a unique game, I have good news! A fan project has revived the whole thing, sans monetization, called Skylords Reborn.
Isn't that cool? I think that's pretty cool.
