Repeated intro

Hello, Starmetal is officially going to be on hiatus. Any other games you see with this name were not authorized by us. We are currently in negotiations with the developer who was hired and paid to make this game. If these negotiations don't improve, we will likely have to take legal action against the developer. The original developer is no longer on our discord, and is likely taking steps to make his own. There is a chance his version will not be the ending version of the game. I will have more details later as this progresses. This is and always has been the official steam page. There seems to be some misinformation going around as to who we are as a company, and I want to clarify that. We are not just a publisher, in fact we are also a developer, worked directly under us. Why Are You Games is privately owned. The owner of the company hired the developer with salaried pay. He had been working for the owner for a number of months before he was allowed to work on Starmetal. At no point was this a deal made independent of the company or owner, and the developer has also contributed to other projects. He is well aware of this fact. Unfortunately mistakes were made, and a lot of trust was placed in this person, which ultimately turned out to be misplaced. However, there are still some legal actions we can take despite this setback.
