Thornecroft Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 So I found this article: https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/descendent-studios-scores-big-win-in-descent-lawsuit It states that LO filed a lawsuit (in 2019) against another developer (Descendent Studios), which ended a few days ago, resulting in LO now having sole responsibility to develop the belated game...which they haven't done since November 2020. "The judge also pointed out that Little Orbit took several months [after November] to demand the game assets from Descendent Studios, a move that highlighted its apparent unwillingness to actually develop the game." However, whether they have the ability to develop another game at the same time as APB is not the question. "Finally, Descendent Studios raised a concern that Little Orbit lacked the necessary funds to actually pay them. The judge agreed with this assessment". They might not be able to afford it. Matt Scott. Why, when APB is already in the state its in, did you think you could develop another game alongside this? If you focused on APB from the start, and got it to a good state, then you could reasonably work on another project. 4

watsoNN Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 Probably for the best anyway, APBs been terrible for years now 1
Euxoa Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 Because Matt Scott realizes he bit off more than he could chew with APB, and is now screwing us all from behind.Thanks for contributing to the death of APB Matt! 3

You guys all know it better how about you make a crowdfund to buy APB of Little Orbit. I would start by donating you guys a dollar. 1 1

Well I'm glad someone at least tried rather than leaving APB for dead until nobody bothered to pay the server costs any more. It makes your last sentence all the more ironic, considering APB likely wouldn't even be around at all now if it weren't for LO and MS. I swear none of you complainers know the first thing about the complexities of game development, especially ones in such poor technical state as APB. 1
Atomkraftwerk Posted August 24, 2021 Posted August 24, 2021 I ve knew it. It wont get any further ,as I can still not play this game just because of the old engine and my GPU doesnt support this garbage of a game.

You're talking like it's a bad thing, i would prefer the game to be officially dead instead of this, there was a game which officially became dead and the reason was the popularity was too low and the company was going bankrupt to keep the game working, not even going to lie i would donate my liver to a developer team like that, at least they didn't lie and were open about the state of the game where there was mostly a cheater, they did a fresh start and the game is alive again now.

All I see is a thread being closed because several people can't decide whether or not a certain group is evil or not. (Obviously not going to be specific due to the nature of the topic)
