Aiemmin tällä viikolla kehittäjä Frogwares toivoi, ettei pelaava kansa ostaisi heidän peliään The Sinking City Steamista, koska kehittäjän mukaan julkaisija Nacon kräkkäsi, hakkeroi ja piratisoi heidän pelinsä.
Nyt sitten Nacon on julkaissut asiasta lausunnon kieltäen kaiken. Lisäksi Naconin mukaan Frogwares koetti ladata peliään Steamiin mainitsematta Naconia julkaisijana.
"FROGWARES published an article on March 1st, 2021, accusing NACON of having "pirated" the game The Sinking City; NACON hereby wishes to set the record straight regarding these unjustified accusations. NACON is contractually the sole exclusive distributor of The Sinking City game on STEAM. NACON has contributed to the financing of development and the payment of royalties to FROGWARES to the tune of 8.9 million euros to date (including the full payment for a version of the game for STEAM), making the global investment far above 10 million euros when integrating the marketing costs. Contrary to FROGWARES' allegations, NACON has paid all amounts due. Today, unless FROGWARES is acting in bad faith, it has no reason not to make the game available to NACON on STEAM,"
Paksun jutun lusikointi siis jatkuu.
