Gameforge now Publisher for HEX in North America

Greetings HEXers!

Today we’ve got a very special update for you, this time a little outside the framework of the usual HEX Updates series. We’d like to bring you up to speed on the relationship between us here at HEX as the game’s developer and the game’s publisher, Gameforge.

Here goes:

Since the 13th of July 2015, the team here at Gameforge has worked closely with HEX Entertainment to transition into the role as publisher of HEX: Shards of Fate for North America and Canada. This means that we’re now the publisher of HEX in the majority of the western hemisphere: Europe, Russia, and now the USA and Canada!

What does this mean for the community?

Not much is actually going to change. HEX Entertainment will be able to spend more time and resources in their development efforts toward making HEX: Shards of Fate the best digital Trading Card Game ever. One slight change that needs to take place is that your previous contractual relationship with HEX Entertainment, LLC. will expire. The game and website will have an updated Terms and Conditions of Use that you’ll need to agree to. This will be possible when restarting the HEX client any time after November 10th, 2015 via an extra window which will open when starting the game. We also have a different Privacy Policy.

All players must accept the new Terms and Conditions of Use in order to continue playing HEX: Shards of Fate after May 10th, 2016. If you decline or do not accept the new Terms and Conditions of Use you will also no longer be able to use the web shop. In this case your account and details will be permanently deleted after 6 months.

What will change in general?

The team at Gameforge will be the ones providing and administering your HEX account in the future. Otherwise there won’t be much of a change for you, since we’ve already been working closely with HEX Entertainment as a co-publisher, and most things will remain as they were.

This clearer definition of responsibilities between game development and publishing will allow both companies, Gameforge and HEX Entertainment alike, to concentrate on their strengths.

We’re really looking forward to continuing our work together with HEX Entertainment, and to doing everything in our power to make HEX the best game it can be.
