Paradox have a reputation for updating their games in perpetuity, with both free patches and DLC, even if players would rather they stopped.Star Trek Infiniteis bucking that trend, it seems.

The grand strategy game was released last year and has only received a few patches since, and now it’s been confirmed that it will receive no further updates.

“Sadly, we must inform you that Star Trek: Infinite will not receive further updates,” readsthe announcementon March 27th, alongside some pablum thanking everyone and everything for their support.

Players onSteamaren’t feeling so supportive, where already ‘mixed’ reviews have fallen sharply into ‘overwhelmingly negative’. Ctrl+F “abandoned” to clock the eleven uses of the word on the first page.

Star TrekInfinite? “Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the film ‘The Neverending Story’,” as Lionel Hutz would say.

Sin seemed to be having a good time in herStar Trek Infinite review, while carrying plenty of complaints.

I’ve played plenty of Star Trek games over the years and I’ve loved a couple, but I’m not sure any of them have beengreat. I loved Star Trek: Armada mostly because the ship stats were all held in text files so it was trivially easy to mod the game and construct afleetof undefeatable Enterprises.
