Corecell’s are the second set of allegations levelled against PQube in the past month

AeternoBlade 2 is an action puzzle game developed and published on PC by Corecell.

“We never get publishing control back, we never insist to release in Oct 2019. Releasing the game requires mutual consent from both Corecell and Pqube,” they continued, refuting PQube’s claim that this was the release date “they [Corecell] requested” in the publisher’s initial statement.

“We flew to the UK to discuss this in January 2020 but PQube offered to pay only 20% of the agreed amount separately for several months to end the conflict which is not acceptable for their predatory practice behavior,” Corecell said. “As a result, we terminated the contract in August 2020 before the PC version was released in September 2020.”

Corecell state they’re still trying to reclaim the console publishing rights to AeternoBlade 2, but remain unsuccessful, even alleging that PQube have asked them to “give up the rights to sue them and keep secret of the matter”.

“We reject to sign anything,” Corecell said, “because the termination letter is already in effect and if Pqube continues to sell the game it is criminal to our intellectual property.

“Despite what PQube said in the statement, the fact remains unchanged that: PQube has not yet paid us the agreed amount. We have not received any revenue from PQube sales in EU stores. PQube did not return the publishing control in EU back to us. There is consistency in the truth and confusion in lies.”

I’ve reached out to PQube to see if they have anything else to say in response to Corecell’s latest statement.
