‘Going Under’ Dev Says It Won’t Work With Team17 Again Following NFT Announcement
Going Under developer Aggro Crab Games has stated that it will not be working with publisher Team17 on future titles following the latter’s plans to sell NFTs based on its popular Worms franchise.
The statement made on Twitter (which contains some bad language, we should add) calls NFTs a “f***ing grift” but pleads with people to not harass Team17 staff over the decision (it was revealed yesterday that many Team17 employees were not aware of the NFT plans).
Aggro Crab Games also urges other indie developers who are allied with Team17 to reconsider their relationship with the publisher “unless this decision is reversed.”
The studio joins the likes of SMG (Death Squared, Moving Out) and Navegante (Greak: Memories of Azur) in publicly condemning Team17’s actions.
