Apology from Dinosaur Polo Club

[Dinosaur Polo Club]

Hi, I’m Peter, one of the founders of Dinosaur Polo Club. I’m very sorry for the choices the studio has made over the last few weeks and for the impact we had on All Quiet Roads: the developer, the game, and the community. I’ve written up an account of what happened on our own forum if you’re interested. In short, the AQR dev got in touch with us, we got some scary legal advice which we took too literally, and emailed the dev back directly from the lawyers. Both what we were asking and the manner in which we asked were completely inappropriate, and I’ve personally apologised to the developer for this. We’re really grateful to the dev for accepting our apology. We’d also like to apologise for not sharing this earlier; our priority was to resolve things with the dev directly, but we understand how that silence came across.

I know it might not mean much to the AQR community given how we acted, but we’ve made some changes to make sure we don’t repeat this and cause more harm. This post isn't meant as an excuse, just an explanation for the folks here who have asked for more information.

I can confirm that Peter and I are on good terms.

Humans have all kinds of different capabilities but it seems to me that our most powerful action is our capacity to forgive. Forgiveness helps them. It helps me. I totally forgive Dinosaur Polo Club for what has happened. I have no interest in lingering in mistrust.

I wish the best to Dinosaur Polo Club and their games. I am thankful to AQR players for standing up for me. I am thankful to Peter for the exposure this has given to All Quiet Roads, and the multitude of players that have found AQR because of this situation.
