Blindfire Becomes Free-To-Play to Preserve Its Legacy

Double Eleven has returned to its online shooter Blindfire, rebranding it as Blindfire: Lights Out, making it free to download and play on PC and consoles and keeping the servers online for years. The final update adds two new weapons, new achievements, skins, and an Audio Aim Assist accessibility feature designed for blind and partially sighted players, citing a belief that games are art and deserve preservation. While unlikely to regain mass popularity, the move ensures the game remains playable as a creative work rather than disappearing entirely.
