Our 1 year anniversary has been and gone during the month of June. While others have gone away, Output Gaming Lives on, and continues powering through the year.
We’ve seen a few things this year, such as an influx of new users, some new DLC, as well as trying some new games out.
While games like Battlefield have let us down, ARMA3 is still going strong in it’s 6th year! (While not always under the “Output Gaming” name, We’ve been running ARMA Gameservers since late ARMA2 over 6 years ago on hardware managed by our current team)
Alsso – with the help of our ARMA Community, we have also been able to expand into hosting Squad, as well as other games over the years.
Earlier in the year, I did a quick update as we reached our 6 month anniversary of our new name, and we are continuing on from that point stronger than ever!
To extend from our 6 Month Milestone update, we’ve seen some additional Milestones Reached:
