While there's nothing wrong with a game being declared complete and stopping updates, the way this went down doesn't sit right. Evil Empire (the studio that split off from Motion Twin specifically to maintain Dead Cells) had longer-term plans and the resources to make them happen, but Motion Twin then ordered Evil Empire to stop development because they thought an actively developed Dead Cells would be a competitor to Windblown that they could preemptively kill off.
Is there any reliable source for this information? Or is it rumours only.
