Wardogs dev reflects on the FPS game's messy Steam takeover: "We either fix the queue now or we're f***ed"
Massive multiplayer shooter Wardogs experienced a chaotic launch on Steam, with over 365,000 concurrent players overwhelming the servers and causing issues with anticheat bans. Developer Bulkhead, led by figures like Howard Philpott and James Tatum-Dean, worked quickly to deploy a hotfix that resolved the login queue problems. Despite initial setbacks, the game achieved over 1.5 million sales and an 83% Steam review average.
