"Hell Frontier", which was released in 2010, was once a benchmark work in the independent gaming industry.Developer Playdead has released two masterpieces: in addition to this classic, there is also the highly acclaimed "Inside" in 2016.

Company founders Arnt Jensen and Dino Patti jointly founded the studio in 2006, but the relationship between the two parties deteriorated sharply after the release of "Inside".Patti resigned on July 19, 2016, and he revealed to Kotaku reporters that the reason for his resignation was "disagreement over the project timeline."Danish media disclosed that the two had almost cut off communication as early as 2015.

The dispute escalated into a conflict of laws in 2024.Patti accused Jensen of threatening intellectual property lawsuits, while Jensen claimed that Patti used unauthorized photos in a long article on the development of Hell Borders released by LinkedIn in 2024, demanding 500,000 Danish Kronor (about $72,000).

Patti revealed to Danish media Arkaden that the Playdead lawyers team have decided to formally file a lawsuit.He believes this is a move by Jensen to erase his historical contributions—the homepage of the original Hell Border production list clearly marked his executive producer identity, but his ranking was significantly reduced in subsequent versions.

Playdead lawyer letter accused Patti of “exaggerating the level of participation”: “You mislead the public by disclosing core development details, misleading the public to believe that you have made a significant contribution at the creative level.” The lawyer warned that its continued use of company assets would constitute a default.

Patti expressed his expectation that the trial will bring the truth: "The media can apply to access all trial materials by then. I will publish all evidence materials in accordance with the law and no secrets will be retained." The "Somerville" launched by its new studio Jumpship in 2022 has received mixed reviews from the media.
