CD Projekt Red has now settled its lawsuit with investors over the botched launch of Cyberpunk 2077 with an agreement to pay them $1.85 million USD. The lawsuit was first filed following the release of the highly-anticipated title, which proved catastrophic for the Polish developer when most gamers on lower-spec PCs or last-gen consoles like the Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4 practically weren’t able to run the game at all.

Unfortunately, as the years went by, more and more fans of the genre shifted over to DOTA 2 or League of Legends, and has left HoN to slowly wither away after 12 years. Despite the unfortunate fate of the game, however, the Frostburn Studios team remains positive: “Even though the journey of HoN or Heroes of Newerth has come to an end, we believe that all the valuable memories of our players through all these years will never fade away,” they said. “It’s ...
