This is why it is impossible for us to keep the PC version running or to develop it further with the level of quality we want to maintain. The change will happen step by step over the course of the upcoming weeks.

One of these steps is disabling the cross platform option in the 0.8.0 update which will make PC players and mobile players unable to play with each other. After this we will also stop updating the PC version.

We will also be disabling the in game purchases on the PC version. You will not be able to buy credits in Critical Ops on Gameroom starting from the 1st of June. The PC version will be shut down completely by the end of the summer 2017.

If you want to save your account, you can do that by downloading Critical Ops from the Google Play store or the App Store, linking your account to Facebook and picking the account you used to play on PC with. Here's the explanation on their Discord server: For this reason, be careful if you already have another account on your mobile device.'' Please note, that when you link an account and the game gives you an option pick from two possible accounts (PC account, and an account that has not been linked to Facebook), the other account will be deleted permanently. On Monday the 10th of July 2017 we need to shut down the PC version in order for us to concentrate on the mobile version.

Originally when the company was founded the first game from the company was Critical Strike Portable of which the first version of was for the web browser.Д«ut many years ago the company founder Veli-Pekka was at GamesCom in Germany to showcase new game ideas and the game idea that got the best response was Critical Strike Portable for the mobile platform. There wasnвЂ™t much PC or console-like games on the mobile platform at that time вЂ“ nor is there that many now either. It made total sense to target the platform with less competition. Thus the decision was made a long time ago that the company focus was going to be mobile from that point on.ДЄll this lead to Critical Ops being created much later on with mobile focus. We did keep the PC version of Critical Ops around at the beginning because it was convenient for testing purposes and in any case the deployments were at that time very similar to mobile deployments so it wasnвЂ™t that much of a hassle.Д«ut over time continuing to develop both the PC version and the mobile version became exceedingly arduous because the control scheme for the PC was so radically different and the whole feel of the game was so much different on the PC than for the mobile platforms. In addition to that during the last couple of years many browsers stopped supporting the Unity plugin that the PC version relied on. That meant we needed to go for Facebook Gameroom. Unfortunately there is not much players on the Facebook Gameroom platform. This also means that however the PC gamers that play the game are very vocal in the community there are way less PC gamers playing Critical Ops than there are mobile gamers. This is important to understand to see why we decided to cancel the PC version.
