Devolver Digital in not publisher of SCUM anymore???

Dear dev's i dont know why you done that, but hope you know what you are doing guys. Also didnt see CROTEAM guys in co-developers anymore.

Anyway I hope that in your case, developers and publishers in one face, will bring you, and your players, only success and implementation of the plan. And I hope that the game will not follow in footsteps of other developers who themselves are publishing their game, such as dayz and many other similar projects.

As always wish you good luck.

Hey guys let me chime in for a moment to shed some light on the situation. Yes we parted our ways with Devolver (we are still drinking buddies so no worries there!). The reason behind it is that we wanted to be fully independent, that way the future of SCUM and Gamepires is fully under our control.

"Will they abandon SCUM now, and what does that mean for the game?"

Nothing will change in that aspect, we will still continue to work on SCUM as its our baby, and strive to the best survival game out there. Regarding Croteam, they were never developers on the game, just co-producers, and they still are co-producers.

Hmm.. he is right.
Well. As for the Cro Team part, as far as i know Gamepires was founded by Cro Team member's and Cro Team would help out from time to time. Helping to get started etc.

DD is as far as i know publisher of Cro Team (Serious Sam series) as well. So i assume they've gone with what they know before doing their own. Pure assumption.

Very curious, more so because of no word of it. Such a move is indeed pretty huge.

A publisher can certainly help in ways but it can also hurt too. We don't know their initial contracts & agreements, for all we know this was to happen. I do think Gamepires is in a better position from the involvement but obviously hope they can maintain it.

Either way, I am thankful to Devolver & CroTeam for helping SCUM along. I do kind of suspect to see Croteam again, them being as cool as they are & also from Croatia,

Honestly, I can’t imagine what negative Devolver Digital can do. These publishers are quite different from their "colleagues."

Hope so, just weird that they didn't tell for us news about that.

O, don't get me wrong, Devolver do seem pretty cool. In ways though pubs can hurt, for example When they demand something ingame or for something to be taken out (compromising devs vision of their own game), reviews of files & assets (trust issues & slowing down development).

I agree, but on the other hand, without outside control, developers can do what they want and drag out development for many years, such as dayz developers. I do not blame the developers of scum, everything that they did made me happy, and I wish them success.
