sunshinecorp: There's already a fix they say, so no real harm done to any customers. As the developer is reported to say:
“They owe me a s***load of money according to our contract. But I don’t have any leverage because my judicial skills are zero. I haven’t had a meaningful communication with Oovee for many months (maybe a year).”
I see this as a way, albeit kind of a brute force way, to bring this predicament into light. He's exposing the publisher to a lot of people, getting free publicity for his case. It's not that dumb, if you think about it.
Both the Dev and the publisher refute the claims of sabotages.
The story seems hype up to get more clicks.
The Devs don't know he is interviewed by the author of Euro gamer when he give his response
And the publisher claim they are not not contacted by the press before reporting the news.
