''Hi everyone, I want to give an informal update, in no official capacity. This is because the development of Sir is legally no longer in our hands.

''I can't go into details due to contracts but the story isn't that deep or interesting. A while ago we signed a publishing deal which included an acquisition of Den of Thieves Games. This was great for the development of Sir and we were quite enthusiastic about the future after a rather dry period. However, as you may know, mass layoffs and financial trouble hit the gaming industry and the former DoT team was an unfortunate casualty. The Reinvented IP and contracts lay elsewhere now. ... I'm truly humbled by the enthusiasm of the community and am infinitely grateful for your support despite the unfortunate situation."

The summary is that, apparently, the developers no longer appear to own the IP or have the ability to legally work on the game, due to mass firings in the game industry affecting "Den of Thieves". For related sources, both "Den of Thieves" and "Big Robot"'s respective websites are currently not live sites. It would be helpful if someone with better access or ability than me to write decent wiki pages could verify, but obviously this is hardly an imperative; just a request for interested parties. I assume since this is the talk page I'm able to be much less formally structured than the main article. - Flange — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A0A:EF40:A74:CD01:94C3:9A6C:E596:2CF2 (talk) 18:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
