In this day-and-age where publishers and developers are proud to announce DRM and microtransactions, Ebb Software aims to do the opposite. The indie developer stressed before that Περιφρόνηση would not have DRM and reiterated the same message again, along with a new update set to come very soon.
Ebb Software had a lot going against it, especially when its first Kickstarter failed. Well, you’d think that with a lot going against the team working on Περιφρόνηση that questionable tactics to secure stability would be first and foremost? Well, not for Ebb Software.
Back on October 23rd, 2017, developer/collaborator Nikola Rakic took to Scorn’s Kickstarter update page to announce that the game will not sport DRM. Well, Rakic wanted to re-stress that notion as of November 15th that κανένα DRM δεν θα υπάρχει στο Scorn λέγοντας τα εξής στον υποστηρικτή Richard Bergman:
«Θα έχουμε μια πλατφόρμα για διανομή χωρίς DRM. Μάλλον θα είναι GOG, αλλά μπορεί να είναι κάποια άλλη πλατφόρμα. Έτσι, θα υπάρχει ακριβώς μία πλατφόρμα για δωρεάν διανομή DRM και θα μπορείτε να κατεβάζετε το παιχνίδι από εκεί ανά πάσα στιγμή. Το πιθανότερο είναι το GOG, αλλά δεν μπορούμε να το εγγυηθούμε».
Furthermore, Rakic informed another certain backer by the name of Om Nomz that…
“We are still working hard to make Scorn happen. And we’ll make a first monthly update very soon.”
The good news is that Ebb Software has kept its promises regarding taking its time on developing Περιφρόνηση, not putting the game on Steam Early Access, and shipping a playable demo during its Kickstarter run. Seeing that the small team stays true to what it says, expect another big monthly update to come sometime “very soon.”
Before concluding, the most worrisome thing about του Scorn development is that back on February 9th, 2017, Ebb Software and Humble Bundle announced a εκδοτική συμφωνία. Months later on October 13th, IGN and Humble Bundle announced on a ανάρτηση that they’ve joined forces, which leaves us with IGN over Περιφρόνηση.
There’s no telling what IGN will do as a publisher over Περιφρόνηση, but in the meantime keep your eyes open for the latest update to come.
