News

We are sorry to say that, but since 24 feb 2022 (you know what that day means to all the free world) Broken Event has temporarily suspended all operations. No new software developed, no updates performed, no feedback considered (but still collected). Hope all the operations will return to normal shortly.

Broken Event is just a software developer, we're out of politics, but after half of year of war we can't just rest silent.

Broken Event is meaningfully against the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Hence we are kindly asking you to (or at least to consider):

• ask your government to cease any operations with Russia
• cease all your personal (if you have any) operations with Russia or its citizens
• ask your government to declare Russia as a terrorist state
• support Ukrainian endeavors against the evil in any way you can: information, money, weapons, hosting the refugees, etc.

Слава Україні!
