Did Microsoft pull the app "Games for Work"??

I'm sorry if this has been addressed but as the title asks did MS pull the "Games for work" app? It stopped working last week and now it isn't even listed in the search for apps to add. It isn't even listed in the Teams Admin Center. (I checked if it got blocked).

I've check with another Admin at another company, and they also have a similar issue. Since internet search's are broken (personal opinion) I am unable to find relevant information pertaining to this.

Any help would be appreciated as users are a bit disappointed at the loss. Even a let me google that link with an explanation would be nice!

TY in advance

    From my Microsoft Ticket:
     
    We have checked the issue at our side and found that, “Games for work” is being sunset. The app is not available after 5/31.
     
    We regret for any inconvenience caused.

    =================================

    WTH Microsoft?!?!? You are "sunsetting" the app!! Are you bringing out something new? Or may individual games? Seriously saddened by this news!

    ALSO Where is this notice posted I don't see it anywhere?

    Absolutely gutted that this has been removed from Teams. I am an educator and I used Wordament at the start of every online session to get students engaged and ready to learn. There doesn't appear to be any kind of alternative app which is really disappointing.

    Dang. I used this with my team to have some fun at the end of meetings or schedule an hour during rough weeks to clear our minds a bit and have some fun.

    It's very disappointing that the app was removed. Our company used it regularly to encourage conversations among all employees, regardless of their level of extroversion. It really helped us feel more like a team. We hope Microsoft will either bring it back or offer a suitable alternative soon!!
