    This is the shadiest of excuses. “AWS changed something and now we cannot serve files and offer the game”. WTF is that. Anyone with a programming 101 can see this is bullshit.

        They’re talking about “pushing data to new users”. I suspect for some reason their game works like those mobile games that only have a basic installer on the store and then need to download a whole bunch of extra data from their own servers.

          You might be onto something, I Believe Godus also launched on Android (and maybe iOS) simultaneously, so maybe they did develop the game with a mobile first approach.

            It “launched” (early access of course) on Android a few months after PC, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they anticipated that and made it so all versions work in the same way.

            Maybe it was a way for them to get rid of the update submission process on the different platforms.

        Correct. This is not a multi player. Either they’re talking about some devops or internal tooling, or they are just weaseling out of the real excuse, or it was a scam from the start and the day never intended to finish the game (which many people believe at this point).

        Whichever is true, stay clear of that studio and those people forever.
