Background: Starport Interactive had regularly joined multiplayer playtests, and 40% of its treasury had been held in UST. After the collapse, a test planned for the following month had already been canceled indefinitely. People at the studio were still waiting to hear whether Starport could continue its project.
Today: Starport Interactive formally announced that its project was paused. Its notice consisted of just three Chinese characters, meaning “Sorry.” After the news, the colleague coordinating multiplayer tests set aside the requirements reserved for Starport from near-term discussions. Some suggested a public expression of support; others felt that asking when work would resume would only put more pressure on Starport.
Impact and next steps: The situation had moved from a canceled test to a paused project, making the partner studio’s difficulty more definite. This studio decided to check on Starport privately first, then work out how its own multiplayer testing could continue. No one could say when Starport might return.
