After all, studios license pre-made engines for their games all the time - just look at Unreal Engine as an example.
This may have flown in most cases without inciting further suspicion. In their official statement, 612 Games claimed that the studio was simply licensing the Nightshade Engine from Titov, but that his involvement was limited to that arrangement. In a desperate effort to salvage their reputation, the game's devs stepped in to try and put out the fire and set the record straight. This revelation soon set the internet ablaze with speculation that Wild West Online would be yet another scam orchestrated by Titov, once again to be created by a subsidiary designed to mask the fact that he was behind it. However, very little information existed about the studio, its' formation, or who was funding it. The company behind Wild West Online was a studio by the name of 612 Games consisting of a handful of folks that had allegedly worked on other high-profile projects within the industry.
This, one Redditor surmised, was due to the fact that WWO was being built on the Nightshade Engine - a product of Titov's latest business venture, Free Reign Entertainment. Around the time Wild West Online surfaced back in early 2017, some were quick to point out the similarities its' gameplay and appearance shared with Titov's previous games.
