Entropy
Developer(s)	Artplant

Entropy was a space MMORPG video game developed by the Norwegian game studio Artplant,^[1] the company which created the MMORPG Battlestar Galactica Online.^[2]

Gameplay

The game was a space flight simulator played from behind the cockpit of a spaceship, with combat similar to Wing Commander and X.^[3] The game also had mining, trading, and salvaging systems.^[4]

Release

Steam Early Access

The game was released through Steam Early Access on December 9, 2013, available for purchase with three different packaged offerings (from least to most expensive): Colonist, Explorer, and Founder.^[5] Purchasers of the base Colonist package will have their progress in the game wiped after the game leaves Early Access and is fully released.^[2] Rock, Paper, Shotgun writer Alec Meer questioned whether wiping the progress of low-paying customers was "a matter of choice rather than technical necessity".^[2]

The developer removed the game from Steam on November 30, 2017. The game went offline in March 2018.^[6]
