Crowdfunding site Fig closed shop

The fig has been with us since 2015, its real importance was only noticed with the announcement of Psychonauts 2. This was because it was a platform that gave users the opportunity to invest in development so that they would then have a share in the profits. The board of directors of this project included, for example, the head of Double Fine, Tim Schafer, Brian Fargo or Cliff Bleszinski. Of course, there were no small names associated with him. However, in 2020, this company was acquired by the giant Republic, which “oversees private investment opportunities with high growth potential in startups, gaming, real estate and cryptocurrencies“.

It has long been clear that Fig’s journey will end, but no one knew the exact date when this platform would close. Now, however, the end has finally come. However, this should not affect funded projects in any way, as evidenced by Gearbox’s Homeworld 3-related announcement:We are committed to continuing to provide you with regular updates and information about Homeworld 3 through alternative channels.. Speaking of Homeworld 3, we should mention the delay that will prevent players from seeing it until February 2024.
