PC Gamer Editor-in-Chief Tyler Wilde argued that Wildlight Entertainment's free-to-play PvP shooter Highguard didn't flop, comparing its sharp drop from a 97,249 peak to typical FPS fades like FragPunk.

Steam reviews sit at 55% negative from 38,000 ratings, yet Wildlight leaders emphasized building a passionate community over massive numbers. X responses included memes, jabs at 'game journalist cope,' and a Community Note bluntly stating 'Highguard flopped,' linking to layoff reports.
