Horror stories Unfortunately, they are relatively common behind the scenes of video game development, and journalist Jason Schreier, for example, has built a career in undignified working conditions, even in the world’s largest companies. Unfortunately, the tension between creative authors and cool-minded marketers does not end even after the successful completion of development and can drag on long after the game enters the market.
Frogwares has not created the version of @thesinkingcity that is today on sale on @Steam. We do not recommend the purchase of this version. More news soon.

A sad example is the Ukrainian studio Frogwares and their distributor Nacon. Their quarrels have reached such a point that the horror adventure The Sinking City (our review) was withdrawn from official distribution for several months.
Czech subtitles should contain all versions of the game.

Frogwares thinks that they did not get adequately paid for their work, Nacon, of course, claims the opposite, and where it is true, the court is currently deciding. So far, he has issued only a preliminary decision, thanks to which the game could (at least temporarily) return na Steam, however, all profits from the sale will go to the distributor.
Of course, developers don’t like it, so he encourages his fans not to buy this version and wait for the whole situation to calm down, or to buy a version for the PS5 console, from which the profit only goes into their pockets.
Of course, this obscure situation is most damaging to the game itself. It is not an extra stone, but it would certainly find its fans. However, in a tough competitive environment, most of them are likely to reach for another title.
