Take Two closing Private Division

Wicked General
1

Hello Moon Studios, i read that Take Two is closing Private Division. From my knowledge this is the company responsible for this game. Would like some assurance that this will not impact this game because

  1. games take time to develop and this game still needs time for its 1.0 version
  2. if moon studios wont close that they wont have layoffs that will make the game development take even longer.
  3. we’ve paid early access fairly high price for a game that will probably take another year (at least) to finish and i am scared that we will not get the product ended.

Hope to have some feedback in this issue. Thank you

I caught this in a related article:
“A skeleton crew will be kept on to support Moon Studios’ No Rest for the Wicked…”

So it seems the (still unconfirmed) plan involves at least some effort to keep NRFTW alive.

That said, as EA supporters we really shouldn’t be worried about our $35 when the folks at Moon are going to be dealing with the stress of their livelihoods suddenly being uncertain.

We’re pulling for you, Moon!

I think it’s too early for Moon to comment on this matter as there could be some legal nuances being involved.

I agree with this. I’ll also say that I feel I’ve already got $35 worth of enjoyment out of what I’ve played so far.

The problem is not if i got the money back from the experience i had, the problem is that we all loose the possibility of a great game. NRFTW has great potential and is innovative for the genre. It would be a great loss. Software house are already starting to copy it.

I heard that POE2 will try to implement in some way the fighting system and Blizzard has decided to make a new game with the same type of features. At the moment Moon has the edge and it would be a pity if the lost it.

Hope they will indeed make it to the release.

Agree 1000%. I’m far more invested in this game than i aught to be. The art style and overall vibe are terrific and it’s fun right now to be involved as it develops. Us forum-dwellers will have to consider going outside or spending more time with our families if this game falls apart. :anguished:

Private Division are just the publishers, right?

Moon are the developers, which means they should be able continue developing the game, even in the worst case scenario where they need to find a new publisher. And that doesn’t sound like the case here anyways.
