Oh that's such a shame. I absolutely loved their game Hyper Light Drifter. Was looking forward to more games from them.

“We wanted to share an update with our community. Hyper Light Breaker will not be receiving further development for the time being. We’re incredibly grateful for the passion and support you’ve shown since Early Access. Please stay tuned to our official channels and Steam page for any future updates. ”

And this is why I never buy Early Access titles.

edit: I guess we are siding with the corpos today.

This is a post on a game dev community about game developers at an indie studio losing their jobs, and you somehow found a way to make it about you. Congrats.
