At Magnus Games Studio, we firmly believe in our social responsibility as game developers. We hold ourselves accountable to a high ethical standard, ensuring that our games align with our vision, values, and the well-being of our players.

The false statements in question pertain to the allegations of our involvement in a "Slavery Simulator" game. It is crucial to clarify that Magnus Games Studio has no connection or affiliation whatsoever with this game or its development. The spread of such baseless claims has resulted in widespread misunderstanding and misrepresentation of our company, which has had a detrimental impact on our professional standing within the industry and among our valued customers. Defamation is a serious offense that can lead to significant legal consequences. It is essential to understand that the dissemination of false information about Magnus Games Studio is not only damaging but also a violation of our rights.
