The legal battle around Ashes of Creation is unlikely to settle in any clear way soon, but we’ve just received a significant update courtesy of a fresh statement from Intrepid Studios founder Steven Sharif, who was also game director on the now-abandoned MMORPG. Lawsuits are ongoing in both directions, with Sharif and investor group TFE Games Holdings both filing claims against one another in February. In his new statement, Sharif claims that a court order granting a Temporary Restraining Order shows support for his accusations against TFE. He also takes a moment to address questions about his financial involvement in AOC, and state his frustrations with what he calls “a victory lap” for the game’s skeptics.
