Blaseball

The popular bizarre baseball simulator Blaseball, which dominated the meme-o-sphere of the early 2020s thanks in part to the covid-19 pandemic, has cleared off the diamond. Basically, the game is done and dusted, and the development team at The Game Band has been laid off as a result of its shuttering. In a Medium post announcing Blaseball’s death, The Game Band said the project became unsustainable, highlighting the massive work required to keep it up and running. “The cost, literally and metaphorically, is too high,” the team said.
