Force Arena Closure Announcement, December 19, 2018

On December 19, 2018, another Star Wars mobile game - the first being Star Wars: Force Collection on April 23, 2018 and the second being this weird Star Wars mobile game on October 11, 2018 - is to enter the drain. Netmarble Games announced that they will close down Force Arena on March 18, 2019.
== History ==
On December 19, 2018, Netmarble announced (dead link) that Force Arena will cease to function (that is, the servers) on March 18, 2019. As the game was generating heat for things, the players' reactions were... mixed.
Effective immediately was the closure of in-app purchases. No more Crystals could be bought. (Teaches them pay-to-play players, huh?)
Some players MAY have jumped onto the Galaxy of Heroes train.
On January 17, 2019, the Order 66 of Force Arena started: the game is no longer available on all App Stores! That marks a downward spiral.
Now, the remaining players wait for an event that'll send all the players off. (For the record, Force Collection did one.)
Came March 18, and the game went out. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.
== Original Text ==
Here is the original text, transcribed from the original post by CM Paul (Dead link):
== After March 18 ==
Players logging into the game come March 18 were greeted with this:
Press [F].
== What happens now? ==
The end of In-App Purchases as we know it.
== What may have foreshadowed it? ==
There are so many things that may have led to the Decision:
(PLEASE take this all with a grain of salt; the reason Force Collection was shut down wasn't revealed, and it could be the case with Force Arena)
* Players who pay to play
* Issues with licensing with Disney
* Stiff competition(?) with Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
