UPDATE 2/9/22: PQube has issued a lengthy response to yesterday’s claims by indie developer Corecell, in which it was accused of witholding funds from the Thai studio behind AeternoBlade 2.
The statement discusses issues with Corecell, and claims that while it was “prepared to pay the full guarantee for the game”, this was held back by “significant quality issues” it identified. PQube also offers a more general response to what it sees as the “inevitable” challenges of working with numerous developers over the years.
PQube’s response lies below in full:
“We enjoyed working with Corecell on our first project together and Corecell were very happy with the success of this. We were pleased to work again with Corecell on Aeternoblade 2 and, despite delays and quality issues we endeavoured to release the game in October 2019 for them as they requested.
