Instead of squeezing the game onto aging hardware through heavy compromises, the developer has opted to abandon what it seemed like an impossible mission.
Can't keep up with modern software

The grind was slow, Iconic Mythics seemed almost impossible to find, and some of the season’s biggest activities struggled to feel worthwhile.
