Lovecraftian’s detective game The Sinking City has been on and off several times recently due to an ongoing dispute between developers Frogwares and publisher Nacon. Earlier this week, Frogwares accused Nacon of pirating the game for releasing it on Steam and issued a DMCA notice to Valve to have it removed from the store window. Nacon has now responded by saying that they acted within the rights of their contract to make a version of the game available in the store.

The Sinking City developers claim that Nacon pirated it by posting it on Steam
Sinking City developer Frogwares has accused publisher Nacon of pirating the game and allegedly loading an illegal copy on Steam. Nacon posted a version of the Lovecraftian RPG on Valve’s store window on Friday, which was quickly followed by Frogwares urging fans not to buy it. The two have been embroiled in a messy legal dispute over the game since last year. The developers believe that Nacon ‘cracked, hacked, changed the code and content of the game’ to put it on Steam and allegedly prevented Frogwares from making money from a game they claimed to own.
Frogwares does not want you to buy The Sinking City on Steam
After Lovecraftian RPG The Sinking City disappeared from digital store windows last year, he returned to Steam. However, the developers Frogwares have warned fans not to buy it, as it is apparently not the version of the game they made. It looks like the current Steam version was put on the platform by Nacon, The Sinking City’s publisher, who had Frogwares in a long and messy legal dispute over ownership of the game.
