Thomas Mahler spoke about the decision of the publisher Private Division to block the new product from his studio.
“People, what the hell? You are all gamers, I wish each of you could play No Rest for the Wicked…
We have people from all over the world working at Moon – Ukrainians, Russians, Israelis… anyone. And I'm very proud that we have such a multicultural group of incredibly talented people working together for a great cause.
I don’t care about politics and never have. We're here to make great games that make people happy, and that's all.
If for some reason you can't buy Wicked, let me know and I'll see what we can do.”
There are no specifics on the situation yet, but a lot of player posts appeared on the Steam forum, both in support of the manager’s words, with messages that the studio had chosen the wrong publisher, as well as opposing opinions, where it is stated that Private Division's decision was correct.
