The Sinking City then returned to Xbox and the Microsoft Store in January. In October, however, those courts found that Frogwares had unlawfully terminated their contract with Nacon when they removed the game from sale, and would have to stick to it until the legal dispute was settled. At the time, Nacon "emphatically" rejected the developer's claims, and said the dispute was still pending before French courts. Some storefronts had already begun to remove the game due to what Frogwares believed was confusion over ownership, then the developers themselves took the game down from remaining stores to stop sales from going to Nacon. In August last year, Frogwares released a statement alleging that Nacon withheld payments during the game's development, owed Frogwares around €1 million in royalties (about £900,000), and wrongly tried to claim copyright of The Sinking City. It seems as though the current Steam version was put on the platform by Nacon, The Sinking City's publisher, who Frogwares have been in a long and messy legal dispute with over the game's ownership.
However, developers Frogwares have warned fans not to buy it, because it supposedly isn't the version of the game they made. After disappearing from digital storefronts last year, Lovecraftian RPG The Sinking City has returned to Steam.
