The developers of two games on the Ethereum-Gaming-Centric Ronin network have announced that they will no longer work due to problems in obtaining continuous development financing.
The teams behind Realms of Alurya and Wonder Wars both shared this week that they were unable to come up with the necessary financing to continue to serve their respective Ethereum-driven games.
“Unfortunately, despite all the passion and effort, we could not secure the necessary financing to develop a live service game for the coming years, and we have also not reached the most important statistics needed to make Wonder Wars a sustainable or profitable game in the long term,” ” Posted developer Hello Monster on X (formerly Twitter).
“For this reason we have made the difficult decision to close Hello Monster, and as a result, Wonder Wars, because the project is no longer financially viable,” the team added.
The project will refrain from launching its utility fires as a result of the closure, adding that it would “not be fair” to launch a token without a goal, depending on pure speculation.
Rijken of Alurya will also be offline in the near future, although the long -term plans are not as clear as the closure of Hello Monster.
The game recently migrated to Ronin after the developers said that an exclusivity contract with Treasure’s Blockchain – who estimated to make the publisher of his game and developed development finance fairs – ended abruptly.
Treasure recently announced that it would stop the publication games and close its chain in the midst of a pivot point to AI, also fed due to financing problems.
“Without any prior notice, Treasure informed us that all similarities were terminated immediately, and with that their support for games in their chain would end” A disagreement message Van Realms from Alurya’s creative disaus and ME founder, Oscar Soler.
According to the message, the team hoped that its recent Hunt & Mint event would offer enough time to look for extra financing – but it was not successful.
“We were shocked to say the least. Our entire annual route map was built around the assumption that this financing would come through,” said the message about the alleged financing of Treasure.
“We are now in unknown waters,” it continues. “We have ruined it and trusted so much on our publisher. We never thought that a renowned company like Treasure could do this; that is up to us. We now know that we should have had a secondary source of financing, we have learned our lesson in the hard way.”
Further Discord reports indicate that the game will be offline until further notice, while the team is investigating potential solutions in the future.
Representatives for the rich of Alurya and Treasure did not respond immediately Decrypts Requests for comments.
The discontinuations remain a growing trend in crypto gaming in which publishers and games stop activities, some due to financial limitations and others due to a lack of players – or a combination of both.
