Message from Matt about Descent Legal Action

February 24, 2020 | PC

Hi everyone,

Today, some news sites reported our January lawsuit against Descendent Studios and CEO Eric Peterson, and I would like to send a message to the backers of Descent: Underground and fans of the franchise.

To start, I cannot know how frustrating this situation has been for you. I want to personally apologize for the lack of communication. Little Orbit remains under non-disclosure, and we are engaged in an active lawsuit, so we are severely limited in what we can share at this time.

With that in mind, I do want to say the following:

Descendent Studios has shut down their website/forums and ceased working on the game. This was made public by their CEO Eric Peterson some time ago.

Since then, we have made every attempt to resolve this matter without legal action, but all of those efforts have failed.

We did not receive any of the Kickstarter money, so we cannot refund any of those funds.

Since we do not yet have a release date for the game, we have processed refunds for all of the pre-orders we took.

Finally, we are all in this together. We love this game, and Little Orbit has spent a significant amount of time, money, and effort to help Descendent Studios deliver the game.

It is still our intention to get the game out as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Matt
