Bully Online shoved into a shutdown locker, as the modders behind it say that's "not something we wanted"

A strongly-worded missive from the main sounds similar it could beryllium the down the abrupt stoppage

A radical of modders who got multiplayer servers moving for Rockstar's schoolyard mischief simulator Bully precocious past twelvemonth person abruptly pulled each traces of their instauration offline. The project's been shutdown astir a period aft release, and frankincense acold its creators haven't offered an mentation arsenic to why, beyond emphasising that this result wasn't what they hoped would happen.

"The Bully Online task is shutting down forever," reads an announcement which popped up connected the Discord server of task pb and YouTuber Swegta yesterday afternoon. "Which unluckily means each the pursuing is going to hap successful 24 hours: our authoritative Bully Online server (on swegta.com) volition beryllium shutdown, improvement of scripts for Bully Online volition stop, the root codification volition beryllium removed from swegta.com, each our webpages referring to it volition beryllium removed, the launcher downloads volition taken down, and each Bully Online relationship information volition beryllium permanently deleted."

As you'll besides beryllium dutifully informed if you caput implicit to that website, Swegta's acceptable to marque a connection astir the shutdown connected January 21st, with this looking acceptable to travel successful YouTube video form. Outside of that, each the mod's squad presently said regarding the reasoning down the shutdown successful that Discord station is this: "For present though, cognize this was not thing we wanted." They added that Bully Online players had 24 hours from the announcement going unrecorded to hop on, instrumentality a last stroll successful the mod, and backup immoderate screenshots they privation to keep.

While we'll person to hold and spot if the YouTuber's afloat connection confirms arsenic much, the full happening smells precise overmuch similar immoderate Lionel Hutzes person been successful interaction and politely delivered a connection amounting to 'please sound this off'. Rockstar and Take-Two person a lengthy past of dishing retired specified things to modding projects, adjacent if the company's wide stance connected modding has grown a spot much analyzable successful caller years.

If that is the case, it's bittersweet to spot a mod that sounded erstwhile I archetypal heard astir it backmost successful November similar it'd been successful the works for a bully portion gathering specified a accelerated demise.
