Dear players,
Last August we announced on our official Discord channels that Gamesparks (our Backend services) took the unilateral decision to close their services, including the shutdown of all FrozenShard games, and consequently, we can not continue with the operations of the company
FrozenShard started using the BaaS services of Gamesparks in 2016, during these years we have been operating with this service very satisfactorily, but a few years after the acquisition of Gamesparks by Amazon (https://tcrn.ch/3ApMwoD), Gamesparks took the decision to close their services as we know them, leaving us out of business.
Our team was notified by Gamesparks and since then we have tried to find alternatives to this problem, purely because due to the nature of our digital products, our games cannot operate without a backend. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find viable alternatives for our products given the high complexity that migration would entail and the incompatibility of many of the features that our games use today.
Starting on September 1st, it will not be possible to make in-app purchases in any of our games, and on September 30th they will be withdrawn from the market Stores in their entirety (Apple Store, Play Store, Steam).
Though we are sad to say goodbye, we want to convey that it has been a real honor to offer so many hours of entertainment to all the players who at one time or another have enjoyed our video games, something we have always done out of passion and we hope to cross paths again in the future.
Greetings,
The FrozenShard team.
