Kedhrin Gonzalez the Creative Director of Illfonic talks about piracy:
"I think piracy is always going to be a problem. However, I think gamers still need to be educated properly on the damage it does to developers. Gamers think of publishers or retailers, not developers. People who support piracy are usually pretty selfish. However, they bring up very valid and compelling letters that can win over the masses more than guys in suits can. It’s a battle that will go on for a long time… but in the end, it will always be the developers that suffer. Not the publisher or consumer."
Nexuiz launched as a PC and console game 10 years ago, but the downfall of THQ lead to problems for the inspirational title.
Remember Nexuiz, the arena first-person shooter pulled from Steam three years ago after publisher THQ went bust? It's back.
Developer IllFonic has self-published the game on Steam, where it costs £7.99 (it's £3.99 until 22nd March).
Didn't get around to playing it until after the community died. Great to see it back.
The aftershock of THQ's dissolution continues, as servers for the Xbox 360 version of Nexuiz have been shut down. Developer Illfonic announced the news on its Facebook page, noting that the servers were being run by THQ and "cannot be maintained anymore." The PC servers, however, will remain online courtesy of Illfonic itself.
That's a shame, I loved this game but guess I won't be able to complete the achievements now.
