The Outbound Ghost is no longer available on Steam and GOG.

, The Outbound Ghost, and asked people not to buy it on other platforms. The unusual move came as a result of a dispute between the studio and publisher Digerati. Conradical accused Digerati of mishandling the console ports of the game and putting the Steam version on sale without approval, and demanded that it relinquish the rights to the game; Digerati filed a lawsuit against Conradical, accusing it of attempting to violate its contract.

"If we had not warned players about the state of the console versions, my reputation in this industry would have been ruined forever by no fault of my own."

"Because of this, we have decided that issuing DMCA takedown requests to the platform holders is the best course of action," Grindheim said in the video."We're essentially showing platform holders that we own the copyright to the game, and that the publisher does not have the right to distribute the game. They are committing copyright infringement by keeping the page up."
