The Sinking City was removed from digital stores after legal dispute with publisher

Over the last few months, The Sinking City has been disappearing from digital storefronts. In an open letter published today, the game’s developers, Frogwares say they’ve been going through legal disputes with publishing company, Nacon (formerly Bigben Interactive), over funding and copyright issues with their Lovecraftian RPG.

Frogwares allege that Nacon missed payments to the devs during the game’s production, and wrongly tried to claim copyright of it after its release.
