In a recent forum update, Re-Logic stated that:Īs you may have noticed, we had a ton of issues to kick off the year stemming from the locking-down of Redigit's entire Google account in early January. However, it appears that Google has resolved these issues and reached an agreement with Re-Logic. The executive went on to say that says he will no longer support any of Google's platforms, adding that "doing business with you is a liability". Spinks had previously claimed that the locked account had never violated any terms of service but now all data linked to the account had been lost, including that on Google Drive. However, Stadia users will be pleased to know that the problem has now been resolved and Terraria is back in development. Spinks announced that Re-Logic is ceasing development on the Stadia release because Google has disabled its developer accounts with no prior warning and is doing nothing to address the issue. While the title has been in development for release on Google Stadia for some time, it was revealed earlier this month that the project is canceled following a very public spat on Twitter involving Andrew "Redigit" Spinks, founder of Terraria developer Re-Logic. Article taken from is an extremely popular sandbox title which many refer to as the "2D version of Minecraft". The trouble with Google is they are almost everywhere, I couldn't imagine losing so much and never getting an answer. Personally, I have begun moving from Gmail wherever possible to ProtonMail and might I suggest you try it too. It's a shocking reminder that many of us (myself included) rely too heavily one on single provider for multiple things. This will likely put off other developers too, the damage of this happening with such a hugely popular game can't be understated. Apparently not.Ī time where Google could really use some good news for Stadia, treating developers like this is clearly not going to go over well with anyone. Enough to ensure the developer can actually access anything. You would think, that if it was coming to Stadia and it was already rated for it by PEGI, that Google would be keeping a close eye on it. In a follow-up tweet Spinks mentioned that the bridge has been burned and so Terraria for Google Stadia is officially done and cancelled and that Re-Logic will "no longer support any of your platforms moving forward" and in another "I will not be involved with a corporation that values their customers and partners so little. That means access has been lost to anything purchased on Google Play, all the data on Google Drive, even the official YouTube account for Terraria cannot be accessed due to all this. Spinks wrote a thread on Twitter, highlighting the issue after being locked out of a Google account now for three weeks. This isn't just any developer either, this is coming from Terraria developer Andrew Spinks, who is the founder of Re-Logic.
Stadia is back on the spotlight and not for their overhype, new games or stopping first-party games, in fact it's due to Terraria now being cancelled due to Google locking the accounts of a developer.
