The developers realized this and thrown in towel, although not before releasing the game for free, with the source files and map editor.

Hey, it's free and you can do with it what you want.

Oh wow, that's sad news.

I covered this game when it was announced.

I respect that the developers have shared their experiences, from the development cycle to the inevitable piracy of the game and the closing of the studio: http://deadmeetslead.com/2011/10/dea...rtem/#more-778

The few reviews out there didn't sing its praises unfortunately...

If reviewers aren't interested in it, neither are the pirates.

Game seems to have made the mistake The Haunted made, it didn't hold hands in the start.

Imagine if Diablo3's normal difficulty was just as hard ("unfair") as D3 Inferno 1.0.3?
Doubt it would of gotten 90% reviews.

Although I must admit my first impressions of the so called trailer for this game in the midst of the Diablo3 hype peak didn't interest me either.

Did however play the demo/challenge mode, when I tested Desura, the Steam like platform which is kinda good, which people never heard off.

Basically Indie Games, who isn't in the media spotlight every single day, seems to just vanish. And sites like indiedb and moddb who used to be the premiere sites for upcoming developers seems to be dying. Not because it's bad, but because people just don't care anymore.
