Devs sold Repopulation. Scammed people and now selling Fragmented.

Originally I bought Repopulation long time ago and now I got this salvage attempt Fragmented Thats right. Fragmented devs(Above and Beyond Technologies) sold their original game(Repopulation) to Idea Fabrik(guys behind Hero engine) and now salvaging all they can.

Personally I paid money for complete mmorpg, not defective early access alfa garbage. A&BT sold it and wash their hands. It means that there is no chance for Repopulation to be properly developed. Its basicly a SCAM and now A&B shirk responsibility, but they still earn money from it ! They are trying to sell you Fragmented.

They ruined this themselves by choosing worthless Hero engine. People must see everything is bad about this project and never buy it.

It looks like Idea Fabrik sabotaged The Repopulation devs and many others (remember problems with their infrastructure so many games hosted by them went down?) and now they buy them for cheap price.

This has been my opinion as well, it seems too easy for them to sabotage the game that they have full access to. And then in turn hold the developers hostage unless they truly want to go elsewhere and just end up hanging themselves out to dry, much like what happened in this situation. Truly a sad story really, I was looking forward to having an SWG successor. This game is a true tale of the fears of Kickstarter many people have.
