  "account": "Raw Power Games, a group of experienced developers behind The Witcher 3, Total War: Three Kingdoms, and Crusader Kings III, have urged players to assist them following the loss of their funding, a significant blow to both the company and their upcoming historical strategy game, Chronicles: Medieval. In a recent statement, the studio revealed that they are no longer financially supported, despite Chronicles: Medieval being close to its early access launch. Tom Hardy's involvement in the project, through an engaging trailer, did not seem to influence the funding situation. Raw Power Games remains resolute, expressing their determination to continue despite the challenges. They have asked fans to keep discussing their game on Steam Wishlists and encouraged inclusion on the platform. However, the effect of this plea remains uncertain, as neither the company nor the game has provided additional updates. Chronicles: Medieval does not appear on Steam's list of top wishlisted games, maintaining its position at #26, unchanged from before the funding announcement. Although the game's Steam follower count has grown by over 1,000 in a week, this increase may not be enough to ensure the studio's survival. Despite the uncertainty, the ambitious nature of Chronicles: Medieval, which combines large-scale battles with an RPG strategy element, offers hope for the studio's future. It's a testament to the resilience of developers and the potential of passionate fan support.",
