Mojiken Studio and Toge Productions, the primary developers of A Space for the Unbound, have announced that the game has been delayed indefinitely in light of accusations against PQube.
The issue comes down to PQube obtaining a diversity fund. While it was intended for developers, the company is accused of “intentionally withheld information about the grant and used it as a leverage for their own commercial gain.” It was further explained that PQube “hid the facts about the grant’s award and added it as a recoupable minimum guarantee and then used it to negotiate the increase of their revenue share.”

What would a “Nintendo Metaverse” look like? | Nintendo Everything Refresh Ep. 022
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in General Nintendo, Podcast | 0 comments
Everyone seems to be talking about the metaverse these days (for better or for worse), which is funny because there’s no unanimous consensus as to what it even is! Is it the future of gaming, the future of work, the future of buzzwords… or maybe, just maybe, the future of Mario? What could Nintendo’s presence in the metaverse look like – or should they even bother? Join your hosts Nick, Nicolas and Luiz as they (attempt to) answer these non-fungible questions. They’ll also discuss the legacy of Wave Race 64 (which was just added to Switch Online’s Expansion Pack), a mysterious Nintendo adaptive controller, new claims of workplace misconduct at Nintendo of America, and more.
