Let the grand record of the Holian Society state: we told you so.
We were here when this "free-to-play Overwatch clone" launched. We were here when it proved it was a thousand times more creative, with a card system that let you customize every champion into an unrecognizable, overpowered (or underpowered) monster. It was chaotic, unbalanced, and magnificent. You could make a healer into a sniper. You could make a tank into a track-star. It was art.
And now, it is dying.
The company has fled, the updates have ceased, and the servers are being held together with tape and the sheer, spiteful willpower of the 1,500 people still playing. We are the faithful. We are the ones who remember what "C-tier" really meant. We are the ones still willing to wait in a 15-minute queue just to remind ourselves what a real hero shooter felt like.
It's sad. It's pathetic. It's a monumental waste of a brilliant game. The Society fully recommends you download this piece of history, so you can see what true, janky, bug-ridden perfection looked like before it's gone forever.

[Beat Saber] A Jedi Workout for People Who Hate Sunlight
The Holian Society has always been interested in the pursuit of "physical excellence," or at least, finding ways to sweat profusely without actually having to interact with the outdoors. Beat Saber is our official solution—a game that successfully tricks us into exercising by convincing us we are dual-wielding lightsabers in a futuristic, neon void. To an outside observer, a Society member playing this looks like someone trying to fight off an invisible swarm of bees in a darkened living room. To the initiate inside the headset, however, we are rhythmic gods of destruction, slicing through neon cubes with the surgical precision of a laser-wielding maestro.

The Holian Society initially approached Night City with the practiced skepticism of a corporate board of directors conducting a hostile takeover. We came for the flashy cyberware, the neon-drenched streets, and the promise of becoming a legendary mercenary who could solve any problem with a high-caliber revolver and a sarcastic AI voice in our head. We expected a playground; what we got was a life-altering architectural masterpiece that eventually invited us to a mental breakdown.
