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.

That would be a worthwhile idea if any evidence pointed towards it (e.g. any public documentation about legal communications).

Without any evidence, it's a useless accusation for an explanation that:

has happened in many documented cases, both bigger studios as well as indies
happens to many people every day with similarly important data (just search for new people trying to recover their incredibly important data - it's a very common occurrence)
is especially likely to happen to fresh developers, which they were

I can accuse you of any number of horrible things, and I'd have the same amount of evidence you have for your accusation. What would this add to the discussion?
