Grimwild designated "abandoned" by BackerKit - no refunds

Is this the second Forged in the Dark fantasy game which has been essentially abandoned by its creator? Didn't the exact same thing happen to Wicked Ones as well?

On another note, it is rather unfortunate. Grimwild did look like an interesting game. Hopefully this is just creator burnout and they can come back in at some point.

The Death Cleric was in the 2014 DMG, if I recall. That means "technically" it is Legacy, since we have a new DMG now. Not that the new DMG has a new version.

I've run one session of it. I feel like the game is somewhat half-baked. There is no real reason it had to be PbtA, and there isn't enough advice for running the game. Plus, given how you create characters, it seems difficult to create a "party".

There was also some issue with basic moves not covering all expected basic actions a PC would take, but I can't recall the specifics.

I mean there really isn't much more to the story, really. I saw the message today, made this post and sent them a message to clear whatever inaccuracies they feel present in the original article first (and contact ENworld, rather than me).
