#InfiniteCrisis shutting down in August? Wow. Remember that $25,000 tournament they held at PAX two years ago? What a waste.

Bummer news about #InfiniteCrisis. I played it from time to time because of how it was a giant love letter to the DC universe in MOBA form. — Greg Nugent (@GNugentVO) June 2, 2015

The #InfiniteCrisis closing is a big shock no matter what the rumors were, they were pumping out content and doing promos right to the end.

@InfiniteCrisis welp, I heard that #InfiniteCrisis was shutting down in August. I guess they should change the name to Finite Crisis. — Harvey (@cheer_for_beer) June 2, 2015
