The Sinking City developer asks users not to buy its game on Steam - GamesIndustry.biz

The Sinking City developer Frogwares has said the version of its game currently on Steam was not made by Frogwares.

The Sinking City was pulled from shelves by Frogwares amid a legal dispute between the studio and Nacon in August 2020, after it alleged Nacon -- formerly Big Ben Interactive -- breached several clauses of the licensing agreement for the game, and allegedly owed Frogwares around €1 million in payments

In a statement last week coinciding with the release of The Sinking City on PlayStation 5, Frogwares stated that it was both the developer and publisher of the PS5 version, but the PS4 version had a separate publisher and different game IDs due to "an ongoing current legal and technical situation," preventing a platform upgrade for PS4 owners
