Terraria, the hit sandbox adventure game from indie studio Re-Logic, will not be coming to Google Stadia following a series of tweets from studio founder Andrew Spinks regarding issues with his Google account.

“I will not be involved with a corporation that values its customers and partners so little. Doing business with you is a liability,” Spinks tweeted on Monday.

Spinks laid out a list of his grievances, asking Google why he lost access to his Google account, including an email address “over 15 years” old, with no explanation for the lockout.

“My account has now been disabled for over 3 weeks. I still have no idea why, and after using every resource I have to get this resolved you have done nothing but given me the runaround,” Spinks said. He then listed a few items lost with the account, including “thousands of dollars of apps” on Google Play, the inability to access his YouTube channel and the aforementioned email address.

Spinks then declared that the Stadia version of Terraria, currently in development, would be halted. “I absolutely have not done anything to violate your terms of service, so I can take this no other way than you deciding to burn this bridge,” he said. “Consider it burned…My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward.”

Terraria has sold over 30 million copies across multiple platforms since its release in 2011, including mobile devices. Terraria for Google Stadia was not officially announced by Google or Re-Logic, making its cancellation also its confirmation of existence.

Requests to Re-Logic for further comment on the matter were not returned.
