While tinyBuild focuses on internal restructuring and strategic pivots, a storm is brewing within its player base. In recent months, community backlash has intensified, with players accusing the publisher of abandoning multiple titles and ignoring longstanding issues.
Fans of Hello Neighbor spin-offs and other tinyBuild-published games have taken to Reddit, Steam forums, and Discord to voice their dissatisfaction. Many report that updates are few and far between, bugs remain unresolved for months, and communication from the developers has all but vanished.
“It’s been silence for ages. We bought these games expecting support, not abandonment,” one user wrote in a top-voted post on r/IndieGaming. Others echoed the sentiment, noting that community feedback is routinely overlooked despite promises of ongoing development and patching.
The disconnect is especially jarring for players who supported tinyBuild during its earlier, more transparent days. Back when titles like SpeedRunners and ClusterTruck were gathering momentum, the publisher was known for listening to its fans. That goodwill now appears to be fading fast.
With no public statements addressing the growing unrest, tinyBuild risks losing not only sales but also long-term community trust—something much harder to win back once it’s gone.
