Seems like United Front Games have been forced to shut down

[Lavaspook]

It pains me to report this news but from various sources it looks like United Front Games have been forced to shut down and you can longer purchase this game anymore, it sucks to see this happen to them because this game has only been out for a month on Early Access and then this happens out of nowhere.

If you don't know United Front Games previously made Sleeping Dogs which I do recommend you check it since it's an awesome game, but it's sad that we will never get a proper sequel to Sleeping Dogs let alone see Smash and Grab get out of Early Access

[McCrabby]

is there any news about why?

[Wraith]

Blast it, I really liked this and didn't realize something was up until I tried to buy it.

The entire campaign was a smash and grab.

I am not stupid, UFG been quiet forever, Triad Wars get canned, suddenly this shows up and its all lookin rosey and talks for big plans ... not even a few weeks out and BOOM closed. DURING a Free Weekend.

This was more than a scam, this was pre-ordained.

How was a free weekend a scam? If anything, they were hoping for a playerbase boost after the weekend and if this was indicative of anything, it's that not enough people played even when the game was made free to justify continued developtment.

Respectuflly that answer is so short sighted that you probably are either too young or simply do not understand how these things work enough.

We are not talking about a game stopping development. We are talking about a Studio closing its doors for good. The company that made Sleeping Dogs FYI.

I am not going into it all because your extremely short sighted POV suggests all this will end up in is an argument. Respectfully you do not have a clue what you are talking about.

What a pointless reply. You commented five sentences just to tell me how you're not going to waste your time talking to me. I simply asked how you can scam anyone out of a free product.

NO MORE POSTS, until the REASON for the sudden shutdown is known.

Don't listen to him he's a little slow.

Agree, I do feel that we are owed some type of official response here from someone. I thought this was a great community and the team did very well, it may be out of their hands as to what happened and they may have not have even known it was coming. I'd suggestion not holding it too personally against them.

The same thing happened to another game called battleline: steel warfare, it's rediculous.

Just checked their store page and they made a patch announcement three hours ago, so no idea what you're talking about.
