Snowrunner simulator: a mudrunner Game will soon be returned for sale for domestic players
The popular off -road simulator Snowrunner: A Mudrunner Game from the developers of the Saber Interactive studio in August this year was suddenly withdrawn from sale in several regions. The game was removed from sale in UK, Belarus and Ukraine for an unknown reason, which has not been voiced until today. Today, the authors of the project officially called the reason for the sale of sales and at the same time announced the imminent return of the game to digital stores.
As it turned out, the reason for the suspension of Snowrunner sales: a mudrunner Game was a well -known car brand Ford. And more precisely, it is the models of the Ford CLT9000 and Ford F750 trucks that made the developers retreat in some countries. Apparently, the developers were not able to solve legal problems with these machines, so they will be replaced by other models: AWMG TX-340 and AWMG AC 1610.
Saber Interactive said that even the references to the Ford CLT9000 and Ford F750 will disappear from the game. New machines will have a completely different design and characteristics, so as not to be associated with them. Reportedly, AWMG TX-340 and AWMG AC 1610 will appear on PC and console versions of the game, with the exception of Nintendo Switch. Also, these changes will affect user modifications that will undergo an additional check when publishing.
This will resume Snowrunner sales: a mudrunner game and return the simulator to the English -speaking region. The game should again become available for purchase in UK in the near future.
Well done, that they did not score a bolt from due to two piercing cars, but made changes and achieved the return of the game.
It’s easier for them to change cars than to lose money. ) Very good news.
It is not for nothing that many companies invent their machines based on the real ones, so that it does not bother with this tragomotina.
plus it is financially costly
Well, at least one developer has brains and ability to analyze and think.
If you want money – develop sales territory. Well done. What can not be said about other companies.
And, just the copywriters of the next started up, and I thought that the authors also hollowed in politics against players who have nothing to do with this policy and could not influence it in any way.
It will be necessary to re -sign up to the games how they will come out.
Someone else considers the AP for car models in games delirium?
I am not cutting something – progress came to the point that these "Ford" it will not be possible to add even as mods?
As mods you can.
Also, these changes will affect user modifications that will undergo an additional check when publishing.
This says not, at least if legal mods. And from the side, I think. it will be possible to install, but play, along the way you will have to only alone.
This was written by the developers themselves in VK. And so for everything who has a season, then in EGS you can try season 12, through the PTV-Public Test Version

Snowrunner: How the brand replacement works
Snowrunner was temporarily removed from digital stores in several regions: UK, Belarus and Ukraine. So that the game can be returned, we will replace the Ford brand in it.
For affected regions, Ford CLT9000 and Ford F750 cars will be replaced by similar-AWMG TX-340 and AWMG AC 1610. For other regions, Ford cars will remain unchanged.
Changes will affect the name, images for a prevention, visual display of machines, some improvements, references in tasks, display and name Ford F750 in the content library in the game itself and game stores in the description of the SEASON 1: Search additions & Recover.
These changes will be implemented on the Xbox, PlayStation, Epic Games Store, Steam and Microsoft Store platforms. There will be no changes on Nintendo Switch.
What will happen to the bought additions that include Ford F750?
Ford F750 is part of the SEASON 1: Search paid addition & Recover. If your account is registered in UK, Belarus or Ukraine, the purchased Ford F750 will automatically be replaced by AWMG TX-340.
For other accounts, all content will be available unchanged.
What will be with preservation?
If you purchased the Ford CLT9000 or Ford F750 in the truck store and placed them in the parking lot, these cars will remain there with all the installed improvements and decorations.
But the visual models of these machines will change:
The Ford F750 visual model will be automatically replaced by the AWMG TX-340, and the Ford CLT9000 model on AWMG AC 1610.
Castle or DLC excavation that the player chose will be marked in the “Color” section in the tuning menu. However, the AWMG TX-340 and AWMG AC 1610 will have only one black and white color, which cannot be changed.
Ford spray for the rear bumper AWMG AC1610 (Ford CLT9000) will be replaced by AWMG sprayer without a Ford logo.
Creator module-picap and module-picap will be repainted in the color of the AWMG TX-340 (Ford F750). That is, they will have black and white colors.
If you left a truck in the vastness of the game world, its location will remain the same. The visual model of the truck will be replaced, but all improvements will remain.
Replacing the truck in no way will affect game progress.

If the mod is created using an account different from English, Belarusian or Ukrainian, the process of its creation will remain unchanged.
If the mod is created using a English, Belarusian or Ukrainian account, then there will be some changes in the editor of the mods.
