7QUARK Admits to Issues in Developing 'Fate of the Hundred Swords' and States 'Taiwan is a Country'
The game 'Fate of the Hundred Swords', developed by Taiwanese team 7QUARK, faced backlash shortly after its release last week due to issues regarding pricing and crowdfunding documentation. On the evening of the 21st, the team issued an open Q&A admitting to various issues throughout the development process while stating, "Taiwan is a country."
They revealed that to guard the interests of their Hong Kong publisher GSE in China, they initially compromised and posted a statement that was not written by them. They also explained the disparity in pricing between Taiwan and China, noting it was due to differing market demands and strategies.
Simultaneously, GSE released a statement explaining the pricing issues, storyline concerns, and crowdfunding disputes from the publisher's perspective.
Ultimately, 7QUARK aims to use its experience to highlight the value of freedom and encourages the people of Taiwan to learn from this situation.
