It's worth noting that Rune 2 didn't actually get that much review coverage on any site. The complaint cites one positive review and then shows examples of the news coverage of Human Head's acquisition dominating the conversation the following day. The studio explained that after 22 years as developers, "economic realities have forced us to make the decision to wind down the company and close its doors." They simultaneously announced that all of Human Head's developers had been offered new positions with Bethesda under the new Roundhouse Studios.īy the text of the complaint, Ragnarok believe that the poor communication and subsequent public announcement the day after launch were orchestrated to maliciously bury Rune 2.

That news came out the day after launch when Human Head Studios announced the closure via blog post. On November 8th, Human Head gave notice of their closure to Ragnarok but didn't mention Bethesda's involvement. According to Ragnarok's complaint, things went off the rails just four days before launch. That's how it was all supposed to go down. Human Head also allegedly agreed to provide live-ops support for Rune 2 after launch for an additional fee paid by Ragnarok. Human Head would get "a substantial upside in the sales of Rune II" while Ragnarok would have ownership of the game's assets.
