Fan-made King’s Quest officially shut down by Activision

Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing any more of the fan-made King’s Quest series after it has been finally shut down for good. Although the fan-devs did convince Vivendi back in 2005 to let them continue development, Activision has now finally shot down their hopes of ever releasing their hard work.

As reports would have it, it was after “talks and negotiations” that King’s Quest IP holder Activision decided that they just aren’t interested in accommodating the indie team anymore.

This sure is a sad thing considering that the development did run a full eight long years — and all of it for nothing. Hopefully this doesn’t deter independent developers from stretching their creative muscles.
