Toge Productions and Mojiken announced that A Space for the Unbound has been indefinitely delayed due to “feeling manipulated” by the game’s western console publisher, PQube.
Back in August 2020, PQube secured a diversity fund from a “well-known console platform” to help fund underrepresented developers, as the studio is based in Indonesia. However, Toge claims that PQube did not grant those funds directly to the developer but instead withheld them for their own financial and commercial gain.
In a statement on Twitter, Toge Productions said, “Rather than paying the grant money to us, PQube Games hid the facts about the grant’s award and added it as a recoupable minimum guarantee, and then used it to negotiate the increase of their revenue share. We have only uncovered the true amount of these funds and their intended purposes in March 2022.”
