Case is already over. Nacon won. For better or worse, the developer is trying to win people over to their side on a case that was already decided.

I understand the huge frustrations they must be feeling, and they have legitimate complaints. But trying to rally public opinion against a publisher over a suit they lost is not going to make it easy for them to find publishers in the future.



It is most certainly appropriate for a victim to rally public opinion and raise awareness if someone acts maliciously taking advantage of the [therefore, broken] legal system supporting them. If the situation is anywhere near to what Frogwares claims it to be, it’s most definitely worth public attention and outrage.

That said, to me it seems so far that it’s one of those “another country, not my problem” cases. Publisher’s in France, developer’s in UK (or Ukraine?)—even if game developer has the money, best of luck suing cross-border, especially in current times.


why are you saying the case is over?

Case found in favour of frogware.

Nacon appealed and won the appeal.

frogware is appealing which we're waiting to hear the outcome of.
