Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn’t even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

These companies don’t give a shit and will just squash any project that they can’t milk for funding. Best case scenario you never release your work in fear of getting sued and nobody gets to play your game. Make new projects inspired by these games and actually build your own fanbase instead of being at the behest of greedy corporations.
