Yeah, I soured on the studio when, after the Unity license debacle, they announced they'll stop selling the game. After a bunch of people panic-bought it, they announced "it was just a joke" and that they were never seriously considering it.
I wrote them an email about this being a scummy tactic, and they told me they had a positive effect on the license change. Sure, deliberately creating FOMO to pump up your sales numbers (especially outside of e.g. the summer sale) is a very effective protest!
