The Painful Truth About the Future of FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE GAME
Gun Media and the team behind Friday the 13th: The Game are the latest victims caught up in the Victor Miller/Friday the 13th lawsuit with all future updates for the game shut down with no plans for when they’ll be back on track.
And today we have an update on the just how dire the situation is via Gun Media’s Wes, who wrote this over on the official Questions About the Future forum on F13thgame.com.
Hey Campers,
Sorry for the silence as of recent. It’s been a tough couple weeks, as I’m sure you’re aware. But I wanted to address a few questions that I’ve had sent to me personally, as well as questions we’ve received through the official F13 channels. These questions vary but all have a similar tone/request. “Is there a chance of any content being added to the game if a ruling on the dispute occurs in the near future?” The answer is no.
Development on games can’t just pause indefinitely and pick back up again; it doesn’t work that way. Especially when you have no idea when that future date will occur. We can’t keep building content that may never see the light of day. That’s bad business. I’ve also had questions about adding “non-F13” related content to the game. “Can’t you make a new level or a new counselor that has nothing to do with the films?” We can’t do that either. We can’t add any content, whatsoever. Nada. Not even a new tree or rock. We can only focus on console dedicated servers, bug fixes, and maintenance.
I know this isn’t the news you wanted to hear and I wish the situation were different. But it’s the painful truth. I appreciate your passion and look forward to seeing everyone around camp.
