In an ironic twist, the spooky game No Players Online, about what remains of an abandoned FPS, is actually haunted in real life by a "former friend" of the developers who managed to get it taken down. A successful Steam strike removed the experimental horror shooter, and it’s only now been relisted.
Adam Pype, a dev at Beeswax, the studio behind the game, recounted events in a statement. "They claimed to be a co-author of the game despite not having done anything for it," the post reads. "NPO was made completely from scratch by our team. Despite trying to clarify to them the past couple months that their allegations were completely unfounded, they recklessly filed the DMCA to Steam without any notice, and the game was taken down on November 13."
