QL was our first game and although it was a big milestone for us, it was created at a time before we understood version control software. We do not have access to the source code anymore and cannot make any fixes or changes to the game. Because of this, we have decided to disable the ability for anyone to buy copies of the game. Thank you for your time and feel free to reach out to us.
The trailer looks like an awesome vaporwave freeze tag indie game.
Why not just give it away for free? It always seems odd to me that games just disappear rather than being allowed an elegant death of old age.

Probably depends on the background as well. They could have hardware running (multiplayer server) that gets so little activity that there is no benefit and only loses them money.
It also doesn’t look like the game has steam integration.
Then why not release the binaries for running such server? I’m sure a group of people could figure out how to decompile and make a change so the game attempts to connect to a different master host
If they weren’t using VCS, I bet they have creds embedded in the source.
