Hytale's original developer, Simon Collins-Laflamme, bought back the rights to the Minecraft-like after Riot Games abruptly shuttered both the game and its developer, but he's not expecting to make that investment back anytime soon, despite renewed interest in the Hytale name.
Speaking about Hytale's revival on social media, Collins-Laflamme said that he was working to "keep the base price as low as possible so more of you can play Hytale." But nailing down a price tag is tricky since the new/old owner also needs to consider "the buyback price, legal fees, and production costs."
