Defense Grid developer kills off Windborne, a $30 Early Access game on Steam

That Early Access is a risky business.

Windborne is a $30 in-development game on Valve’s Steam digital store, and it’s no more. Developer Hidden Path Entertainment quietly pulled the plug on its social sandbox game yesterday, citing a lack of money to complete the project and a flooded market full of similar titles. It leaves gamers down as much as $45 if they bought the edition with promised DLC — and up to $80 if they bought a double pack — and they’re not too happy about it.
