Fntastic accuses "certain bloggers" of being behind a hate campaign against The Day Before
, by Thibaut
Since its closure and the subsequent withdrawal of The Day Before from Steam, Fntastic has remained silent. The studio has just spoken out about "the numerous misinformation " surrounding its game.
The Russian firm was quick to target and accuse a specific category of Internet users.
"Certain bloggers made huge money by creating false content with huge titles from the very beginning to gain views and followers, exploiting the lack of information about the game's development. Their actions triggered a gold rush among content creators due to the game's pre-release popularity."
The studio also spoke about the content of The Day Before.
"We implemented everything shown in the trailers, from home improvements and a detailed world to off-road vehicles. We only disabled a few minor features, like parkour, due to bugs but planned to include them in the full release."
Fntastic also pleaded its good faith.
"We've been around since 2015 and have always conducted our business honestly [...] Since 2021, we've had a New Zealand venture called MytonaFntastic and a successful game, Propnight, which has sold almost a million copies. Propnight also co-financed the development of The Day Before".
Finally, the studio encourages its supporters to follow its social networks to "find out what's coming up in the future".
