On its official forums Oovee offered the following statement: Various Redditers suggested the game's recent technical foibles were a "time bomb" set up by Zagrebelnyy after the two parties locked horns in a bitter legal dispute, though only last week those involved told Eurogamer they would continue collaborating on new updates for Spintires.įor its part, Oovee has vehemently denied the sabotage rumours, instead stating that this is a "major bug" that it's working with Zagrebelnyy to fix. Weirdly, fans have speculated that the crashes were not an unintentional bug, but rather the game's programmer Pavel Zagrebelnyy sabotaging the product after a financial feud with publisher Oovee. ORIGINAL STORY 3.02am Tough terrain driving game Spintires has been removed from sale on Steam amid various reports of the game crashing within mere minutes of being booted up. Regarding the sabotage rumour, Zagrebelnyy said "I would never do something that would affect the gamers! In fact I do my best to make sure the game (Spintires) only brings joy to whoever plays it."
Zagrebelnyy further noted that the bug was fixed days ago and he thought it would have been implemented by now. "But there is in fact a time-related bug (a self-check uses time functions to see if game wasn't cracked by pirates) which was not fixed in time (because we have little to no communicating with Oovee.)" "Well, I don't understand who and why started the rumours of sabotaging - apparently they are based on reverse engineering Spintires code?" the puzzled programmer said of this whole ordeal. In a statement to Gamasutra, Zagrebelnyy suggested that time-related anti-piracy checks were responsible for the problem. UPDATE 6.45am Spintires programmer Pavel Zagrebelnyy has refuted rumours that he sabotaged his own game to strike back at the publisher he claims owes him money.
