Hier ist ein Fall, wo eine Frau von ihrer schwierigen Beziehung zu ihrer Mutter berichtet (über mehrere Tweets; Tweet anklicken um auf Twitter weiterlesen zu könnnen), die in die Fänge von Verschwörungstheorien geraten ist:

Gestern war der Tag an dem ich meiner Mutter gesagt habe, dass ich keine Schwurbel-Esoterik-Verschwörungsvideos mehr geschickt haben möchte. So fing unser 1-jähriger Cut vor 2 Jahren an. Ich krieg meine Mutter nicht mehr aus den Theorien und den Fängen der Theoretiker

Das Overacting von Sonequa Martin-Green sticht leider mal wieder hervor. Ansonsten bin ich auf den Andromeda Ansatz plottechnisch gespannt.

Die Ereignisse überschlagen sich:

„Hier sind einige Falschspieler unterwegs“ Offener Streit im Lager der Corona-Querdenker

Innerhalb der Querdenken-Bewegung ist offener Streit ausgebrochen. Neben persönlichen Befindlichkeiten wird vor allem um das weitere Vorgehen gezankt.

Der interne Konflikt hat bereits absurde Züge angenommen: Einem prominenten Querdenken-Redner wird vorgeworfen, einen anderen als „Satanisten“ bezeichnet zu haben. Ein Organisator soll einen weiteren Redner in einer SMS als „Idioten“ beschimpft haben.

Thorsten Schulte, mehrfacher Redner auf Querdenken-Versammlungen, beklagt öffentlich, es gebe „überhaupt keine Strategie“. Außerdem seien bei Querdenken „einige Falschspieler unterwegs“. Ein wichtiger Akteur der Bewegung sei ihm in den Rücken gefallen.

Querdenken-Initiator Michael Ballweg kritisierte daraufhin am Sonntag Thorsten Schulte und erklärte, es gebe keine „Dauerredeerlaubnis“ für Redner auf der Bühne. Schultes Verhalten beim ersten Berliner Aufmarsch Anfang August sei außerdem „zu theatralisch“ gewesen.

The Sinking City soll aus einigen Stores entfernt worden sein (betrifft nicht die Switch Version); kein Download der bereits gekauften Version mehr möglich (Gerücht)

Sinking City, game and DLC got pulled from the Xbox Store and even my Library

Update:

Statement des Studios zur Entfernung des Spiels aus den Stores:

The Sinking City is Being Delisted. Here’s Why

An open letter from our studio about the fate of The Sinking City and why it has been removed from various storefronts

Hello everyone,

As some of you have noticed, The Sinking City has been taken down from Steam and many other notable stores. We have received multiple emails and messages on this issue. The reason is a bit complicated, yet at the same time, quite simple. Short version: We were forced to terminate the contract with our licensee for several breaches of our agreement. We urge you to read this open letter to our fans, journalists and people of the industry, to understand why this is happening and how you can still get The Sinking City.

The following information contained in this letter is part of court proceedings, meaning that the information is now public and confidentiality rules do not apply anymore.

Since the release of The Sinking City on June 27, 2019 we’ve been involved in legal battles with BigBen Interactive/Nacon over the title. In 2017 we signed The Sinking City contract as a licensing agreement with BigBen/Nacon, 2 years after the start of production. In exchange for a financial contribution to the development, we gave them the right to sell and commercialize the game on 4 platforms – Xbox One, PS4, Steam and later, Epic Games Store. The intellectual property would still belong to Frogwares, which has always been the only producer and owner of its games, including The Sinking City.

We signed the deal on those terms and we would receive part payments for each production milestone completed. Then a share of revenue starting at the first euro or dollar. So all was well – until the collaboration started.

During production, BBI/Nacon was hundreds and hundreds of days behind in payments in total. Each sum due on average being 40 days late, while our milestones were always on time and approved by the licensee. We had to issue formal notices multiple times so that we were able to receive the money that was owed to us.

The lack of commitment to honor the financial obligations soon turned into ongoing pressure. Once BBI/Nacon bought out a competing studio working on another Lovecraftian game, they dictated that we give them our source code for The Sinking City. Once again, BBI/Nacon does not own the IP – they are a licensee. They sell the game – not develop and co-create it. After we refused to comply, we stopped receiving financial contributions for over 4 months.

This kind of unacceptable behavior took on other forms as well.

With regard to the business plan, we were kept in the dark. We asked on multiple occasions to see sales forecasts, but the figures sent to us were not consistent. We weren’t sure of how potential sales could turn out, meaning that we were not able to properly plan our future. Were there any sales deals arranged? We were not sure. Only the exclusivity agreement with Epic Games Store gave us some respite, as we knew what we would receive due to the minimum guarantees in Epic’s contract.

On June 27, 2019, The Sinking City was released on Xbox One, PS4, and Epic Games Store. That was a great day for us. And once the game was released, we received a letter from Bigben/Nacon that the milestones that were previously approved are being canceled, meaning that we would not receive any profit from the sales of the game. A retroactive cancellation on not delivering a product on time that is already out in the market is not acceptable. That was when our legal battle began.

We filed a lawsuit against Bigben/Nacon on August 2019 and, incidentally, only then we started to receive income reports, though incomplete and undocumented. So it was not possible for us to see if the revenue was correctly calculated or even how many units we sold. At some point we received a statement claiming that one of the console manufacturers hasn’t paid royalties for more than 5 months, while actually the same console manufacturer paid our royalties from other games without any delay in the same period of time.

Furthermore, we were surprised to find that copyright notices on box covers and storefront pages were legally incorrect, creating a perception that it was not Frogwares which was the owner of the IP.

Our Frogwares logo was removed from some of the PS4 and Xbox One game’s cover and other marketing materials and we only were mentioned on the reverse side with the technical partners, again, creating a perception that we were neither the authors, nor the owners of the game.

Dozens of domain names for our Sherlock Holmes and The Sinking City brands were bought (page 109-112) by Bigben/Nacon without notifying us.

A tabletop The Sinking City RPG was created without even informing us, and distributed freely, featuring the wrong copyright notice.

Finally, when launching Nacon on the public market, the official stock market prospectus suggested that the intellectual property of The Sinking City was owned by BBI/Nacon, while, again, The Sinking City is owned by Frogwares. (page 59)

Wie schon berichtet, fand heute in #Wien eine Kundgebung der "Querdenker" statt. Hier ein kurzer Videoabschnitt in dem zu sehen ist, wie auf der Bühne unter tosendem Beifall eine Regenbogenfahne zerrissen wird, da sie als Symbol für "Kinderschänder" verunglimpft wird. pic.twitter.com/csGFFtOehm
