I say, I don't believe it without evidence. Until then it didn't happen. Also BTW, isn't this an indie company without investors at all? So I don't know what you talking about. I do not believe investors cancelled the demo of the game. If you cannot prove it, then I don't believe you. permalink fedilink source parent
