Ok, I plead guilty, I should have done this a few days ago already. This post may be a bit long but I'll make every effort to be thorough, calm and factual. A few chronological facts first: - september 2012: we release Transcripted on Steam with a publisher, Topware Interactive - october 2012: things start to go wrong when Topware breaches several major clauses of our publishing deals - february 2013: we file an official complaint against Topware under the jurisdiction of the court of Cologne, Germany - march 2013: Valve kindly removes Transcripted from the Steam store at our demand until we have settled our dispute. - 2013 - 2015: Topware has sold Transcripted on multiple digital stores often lowering the price by 90% or giving in large bundles of games starting sometimes at 1$ of course without our consent.

During that period we regularly tried to contact several stores to ask them not to sell our game during the legal procedure. By lack of financial means, we never were able to force anyone to comply. - august 2015: Topware is found guilty of breaches in our publishing deal and sentenced to pay us 19 000 euros. The publishing deal is revoked (we can do whatever we want with our game) - october 2015: Topware is insolvent and can't pay // Official end of the publishing deal even if it was not broken by the court.

Wow, didn't know about that story. I saw a boxed copy at a Fnac a few months ago, and decided to put this game on my wishlist since it seemed interesting. But I was surprised that I couldn't find it on Steam; I now understand why. Today I read my 'Canard PC', and find out the game's back for sale after this story, before reading this post.

Is there any extra I'd miss out on compared to the boxed version (except the physical copy. Such a shame there's no really official one) with this official re-release? Also, I'm pretty sure said boxed copies won't harm you anymore, since I believe TopWare made the money when they sold them to the stores, but also that they don't get any money on activation. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though. Originally posted by:Box version's is less up to date that this new release (see the last steam announcement for the game for the complete list of modifications) Topware is still selling box versions online for which they can very much earn money and they are also still selling Steam keys. These keys, as stated here are no longer valid but it doesn't seem to bother them.

Once more, we are very sorry to be unable to prevent them from doing that but it would cost us way too much money for absolutely no gain. I was taking about box versions in stores independent from them though.

Nastrojka tochnoj streljbi v css v34. They must have already made their money when they sold the concerned copies to the concerned stores, thus the harm was already done and buying such a copy can't harm any more. At least that's how I think it works, again feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Them selling illegal, not to mention as well impossible to activate keys, is illegal though imo. They're basically selling a non-working product (which by itself is prohibited afaik) that they're not even allowed to sell. Sorry to hear you got used by an publisher, sadly that happens alot these days with indie developers. Usually being punks who call themselves publishers and barely inform developers of anything. Who in turn only get the games released then drain the sale money.

I was going to mention making a pinned thread, but seems someone else already had in the other thread, so glad people are getting the information quicker on the reason and what really happened. Indie developer wise, your usually better off self publishing. As ive had a few dev friends who got messed over via the whole publisher deal thing. Which sadly once these publishers got there claws into you they wont let you walk away that easily. Goodluck with your next game hope it goes well, and there is people out there who would help you get the word out and help promote your games. But be warned there is also more of the darkside promoters who lurk and abuse developers also.
