Tactical Gamer has been through many incarnations over the years. The community was originally built back in 1996 and has been through a couple re-brandings over the past 24 years. We had some fantastic times with the original Quake 2 LMCTF environment and really started to solidify the purpose of the community with the launch of the original Counter-Strike. We’ve had a fantastic run over the years but all good things must come to an end.
It brings me no pleasure to announce that Tactical Gamer will be ceasing operations on February 29th, 2020. There are a multitude of reasons why, but suffice it to say that the gaming landscape has changed drastically and brought us to an era where people have been pulled away due to different priorities in life and that has affected our ability to manage the community in a manner consistent with its founding purpose. For those of you who have helped the community survive through the Supporting Member program, I can’t thank you enough. Without you this dream would have died many years ago.
Next Steps - For those of you with Supporting Memberships, please use the opportunity over the next month to log into your PayPal accounts and cease payments to Tactical Gamer. I am going to attempt to do a bulk-cancellation on the 29th of February, but I’m not sure how well that is going to work. You will also want to make sure to download any files or content you have in your web hosting accounts (if you have taken advantage of that in the past) as well as any email you have on our systems that you want to keep. I am going to continue to renew the domain registration, although what I do with it and where I point it has yet to be determined.
In closing, I want to thank everyone for over two decades of great gaming and especially thank those that have taken on the relatively thankless Site/Community/Game Officer roles and everything you’ve done to help keep the community on track.
All the best...
