The Game We Had to Make

Title: The Game We Had to Make

In the realms of virtual wonder, we did set our sights,
A world to create, with dreams taking flight.
For countless hours, we toiled and we strived,
Crafting a game that would make the world thrive.

But as the journey unfolded, a truth came to be,
The path we had chosen, not as simple to see.
Battles were fought, in the digital sphere,
Challenges aplenty, testing strength and sheer will.

Yet time held its sway, as the player base waned,
Our hearts heavy with sorrow, as we faced the decline.
The first live service, how it sparked and shone bright,
Yet now it was time to bid it goodnight.

For even in the end, we cherished the ride,
The friends we made, the memories that reside.
So we raise our heads high, in bittersweet pride,
Bid farewell to the game, as it takes its last stride.
