"Frogwares has not created the version of that is today on sale on We do not recommend the purchase of this version. Frogwares took to Twitter to share this update, promising that more news was on the way soon regarding their warning.
Original story: The Sinking City has returned to Steam following its removal across multiple digital platforms, but developer Frogwares has said it did not create this version and that it does not recommend that anyone purchase it. IGN has reached out to Nacon for comment. The two companies remain in a legal battle in French courts over contract breaches, missed payments, intellectual property ownership, and more - with Frogwares saying it will now be adding pirachy and theft of intellectual property to the list of charges. Meanwhile, the studio says it does not believe either Gamesplanet or Steam were aware of the situation, saying that Nacon likely purchased the game legally from Gamesplanet and that Steam did not know the version uploaded to its servers was hacked.
Additionally, Frogwares notes that the version on Steam is the "Deluxe" version of the game - with extra content added that Nacon never had the license to distribute in the first place.įrogwares specifically calls out Neopica, a Belgian studio behind games like the Hunting Simulator titles and Euro Truck Racing Championship that was acquired by Nacon late last year, as having a hand in the alteration of The Sinking City. Frogwares accuses Nacon of buying the game on Gamesplanet, hacking into it to remove certain identifiers like Gamesplanet logos and add the Nacon logo on certain splash screens, and then republishing the altered version of the game to Steam. In a blog post today, Frogwares says that the new version of The Sinking City uploaded to Steam in late February by Nacon was not one given to the publisher by them, but rather a version licensed to online distributor Gamesplanet.
