Idolobha Elijizayo ikhishwe kuSteam, ngemuva kokuthi uNacon esolwa ngokulayisha ikhophi yomdlalo entshontshiwe kwesinye isitolo, kwathi uFrogwares wakhipha i-DMCA.
As kubike ngaphambilini, Idolobha Elijizayo yayikhishwe kubathengisi abakhulu ngo-2020 okubandakanya iSteam, ngenxa yengxabano yezomthetho nomshicileli uNacon. Encwadini evulelekile, uFrogwares usole uNacon ngokubamba izimali zobukhosi, ukwethula idatha yokuthengisa engaphelele, nokuhlanekezela amaqiniso. Idolobha Elijizayo impahla yengqondo njengekaNacon phakathi kwezinye izinsolo.
Kwakungenxa yokungaphathwa kahle kukaNacon Idolobha Elijizayo impahla yengqondo, ukuthi uFrogwares wanquma ukususa umdlalo ekuthengisweni kwabanye abathengisi.
Baqinisekise abathengi ukuthi umdlalo usazotholakala kubathengisi abasebenza nabo ngqo; kufaka phakathi i-Gamesplanet, i-Nintendo, ne-Origin. UNacon usole uFrogwares “efuna ukudicilela phansi isithunzi [bona] emehlweni omphakathi nabasebenzi ngokufanayo,” futhi wathatha isenzo somthetho ngokumelene nabo.
Kamuva uNacon wakhipha isitatimende, eqinisekisa Idolobha Elijizayo wayenakho ubuyele ku-Xbox Store; futhi izobuyela ku-Steam kanye ne-PlayStation Store kamuva. Ngaleso sikhathi, ikhasi lesitolo seSteam le Idolobha Elijizayo ibhale usuku lwayo lokukhishwa njengoJanuwari 5.
Leso sitatimende size ngemuva kokuthi iNkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala yaseParis ikhiphe isinqumo ngo-Okthoba 2020 sokuthi uFrogwares wayenaso “unqamule isivumelwano [saso] ngendlela ‘engekho emthethweni ngokusobala’” lapho besusa umdlalo ekuthengisweni. Inkantolo ithe imigomo yenkontileka kumele iqhutshekwe kuze kube sekunqunywe ukuthi ngabe uNacon wephulile noma cha.
Umdlalo wagcina wethulwa ngoFebhuwari 26 kuSteam, kanye nesimemezelo sokuthi umdlalo uzokwephula ngo-60% kuze kube umhlaka-5 Mashi. Kodwa-ke, uFrogwares washeshe wathumela ukuthi lokhu bekuyikho hhayi umdlalo wabo. “I-Frogwares ayizange idale inguqulo ye-@thesinkingcity ethengiswayo namuhla ku-@Steam. Asincomi ukuthengwa kwale nguqulo. Ezinye izindaba maduze.”
UFrogwares ngokuhamba kwesikhathi wachaza ukuthi uNacon wayenezinsolo "yebiwe, yagqekezwa, yashintsha ikhodi yomthombo [komdlalo], futhi wazama ukuvala umkhondo wokubika.” Bathi uNacon wayethengile Idolobha Elijizayo kusuka ku-Gamesplanet, wabe eseyilungisa kusetshenziswa ukhiye wokubethela otholiwe ukukhuhla cishe yonke iminonjana ye-Gamesplanet. Le nguqulo yabe isilayishwa kuSteam, ngaphansi kwegama labo.
Ephendula, uNacon uthe uFrogwares “ingathanda ukubuyekeza imigomo yenkontileka ukuze izuze bona kuphela. Kulula ukudlala isisulu, kodwa esikufunayo nje ukuthi iFrogwares ihloniphe izibopho zayo kokubili kunkontileka nanjengoba ifunwa yizinkantolo.”
Mayelana nezimangalo zikaFrogwares- noma "impendulo" njengoba uNacon ekubeka- uNacon uthi umdlalo unjalo "inguqulo esemthethweni nephelele." Bathi izici ezilahlekile zeSteam (ukugcinwa kwamafu kanye nezimpumelelo, okusolwa ukuthi zisusiwe ukuze kuvinjelwe ukuhlolwa kobugebengu be-inthanethi) kukhona "ngenxa yokuntuleka kokubambisana neFrogwares."
Ngalesi sikhathi sokubhala, womabili ama-URL e-Steam angaphambilini asusiwe [1, 2]. I-SteamDB- iwebhusayithi yezinkampani zangaphandle elandelela izinguquko kuSteam- iphawula ukuthi igeyimu isusiwe kuSteam ngoMashi 2nd ngo-1:50 pm PT (4:50 pm ET). Vice kubika ukuthi uFrogwares ukhiphe i-DMCA yokususa umdlalo kuSteam.
Iphini likaMongameli Wezentengiso u-Doug Lombardi utshele iPhini lakhe “I-Sinking City ike yaba nengxabano ezinkantolo zaseFrance isikhathi eside. Isinqumo sesikhashana ekwindla yokugcina sibonakale sinikeza uNacon ilungelo lokusabalalisa umdlalo kuSteam ngenkathi kuqhubeka icala. Kodwa-ke, namuhla sithole isaziso sokwehliswa kwe-DMCA ngenguqulo esanda kuthunyelwa nguNacon, ngakho-ke sisabele kuleso saziso.”
