DISREGARD THIS POST! We’re back, baby!
It is with deep regret that I announce that eXplorminate is shutting down. We’ve been here for the past seven years, trying to provide the 4X genre with a platform with strong, intelligent, and informed voices, but alas, 2020 will claim yet another victim.
Truth be told, it’s mainly been me, Rob, trying to keep things together after nearly everyone left last year, for a variety of reasons. Our momentum really picked up, I think, but I can’t keep constantly looking for replacements, volunteers, and help.
And we’re not remotely financially capable of going full-time with this, so this is the line, unfortunately.
2020 has been an awful year for all of us, but it has caused me to reflect on what’s most important and the rewards aren’t worth the sacrifice to me, anymore.
Thank you all for being a part of this amazing community. The site might be going away, but the Steam community and Discord will remain open. Hope to see you there.
I’ll just be out there, living life, making sure to spend all the time I have with my wife and kiddos.
Until the next time, friends
Keep eXploring…
