It's also available through Origin (opens in new tab), but was never actually removed from that storefront. Nacon published a version of the Lovecraftian RPG on Valves storefront on Friday, which was quickly followed by Frogwares urging fans not to buy it. Accordingly, The Sinking City was returned to Steam (opens in new tab) and other storefronts, but very shortly it disappeared again, without explanation, although it remained (and remains) available on the Microsoft Store (opens in new tab). The Sinking City developers Frogwares have accused publisher Nacon of pirating the game and allegedly uploading an illegal copy on Steam. In January 2021, a preliminary ruling in the matter found that Frogwares had terminated its contract with Nacon "in a 'manifestly unlawful' manner," and thus ordered its terms restored. Frogwares claimed that Nacon failed to finance development as promised and failed to file accurate income reports, while Nacon said Frogwares was simply making wild claims in order to discredit the publisher in the eyes of the public.
First, a recap: The Sinking City, a 1920s detective game set in a flooded fishing town built atop caverns crawling with Lovecraftian horrors, was removed from most digital storefronts in 2020 following a dispute (opens in new tab) between Frogwares and publisher Nacon.
