Robocraft studio Freejam shuts down
pcgamesinsider.bizThe developer of the Robocraft series, Freejam, is closing its doors.
That's according to TechRaptor, which spotted a message in the studio's Discord saying that it was unable to keep work going on Robocraft 2 due to "the current market conditions and server costs required". Going off of LinkedIn information, the studio employs 15 members of staff.
