This launch wasn’t expected, to be honest.
You can already find the game on the PlayStation Store , which was developed by none other than the U. S. Army (!): it’s America’s Army: Proving Grounds, which has quite alright reviews on Steam , where it launched in October 2015. Quoting the description:
„America’s Army: Proving Grounds is the Official game of the U.S. Army and part of the highly acclaimed America’s Army game series. This free military game focuses on small unit tactical maneuvers and puts you to the test in a wide variety of new, and classic, America’s Army maps. You are a member of an elite team deployed behind enemy lines in the fictional country of Czervenia. Deploy with your eight-man squad on a wide range of realistic locations. Extract the VIP, destroy military assets, take and hold important territory and extract valuable intel.
Rescue your downed squad mates and secure downed enemies. Use the real weapons of the U.S. Army, move like a U.S. Army soldier and focus on teamwork to achieve victory. In Proving Grounds every shot counts.
Key Features
- Character and Weapon Customization
- Round-based gameplay
- Teamwork is critical
- Exclusive PS+ weapon skins
- Truly free – forever.”
The developers didn’t expect Sony to push it out to live servers, which means there’s now an update in progress for America’s Army: Proving Grounds, which should address performance and bug issues.
![However, an anonymous GOG employee paints an even darker tone of the internal situation: „We were told it’s a financial decision. GOG’s revenue couldn’t keep up with growth, the fact that we’re dangerously close to being in the red has come up in the past few months, and the market’s move towards higher [developer] revenue shares have, or will, affect the bottom line as well.](https://thegeek.games/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-gog-1-302x180.jpg)
