It's with great sadness that we must announce STIX will be removed from the Steam Store in the coming weeks. With that said the servers will stay active until June so feel free to continue smashing heads until then.
The unfortunate reason this is happening is due to a few mistakes that were made throughout the development cycle. The biggest one being that we've covered the cost of servers in hopes that we could avoid the rampant cheating that happened in Stick Arena. Throughout development the server cost has greatly outweighed the revenue brought in by STIX. We've made countless attempts to grow the community, though we've seen very little success in this endeavor. At this point we've decided to cut our losses and accept that this isn't a genre that enough people are excited about to make it worth continuing development.
We understand that this news will come as a disappointment to many of you, and we're sorry we couldn't revive the genre as we'd intended. Nevertheless, we would like to thank you all for believing in us throughout this journey, and we'll treasure the memories we've made along the way.
Until next time, Terribly Delightful
