Good night, sweet prince.

http://www.pcgamer.com/five-nights-at-freddys-6-gets-canned/

The Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon has confirmed the next FNaF game has been cancelled—despite having spent the last month dropping hints regarding what it might entail.

Taking to a Steam community update post, Cawthon explains he simply no longer wants to work on the game and that he's been "neglecting other things in [his] life for the sake of trying to keep up with mounting expectations."

Cawthon highlights this move does not mark his departure from game development, nor does it mean he's abandoning the Five Nights at Freddy's series. He says: "I want to get back to what made game-making enjoyable in the first place. In fact, the first game that I'd like to make would be something for you guys.

"Remember Foxy Fighters from Update 2? I loved working on that game. It was a lot of fun, and it took a lot of the pressure off me knowing that it was just for the fans of the games. That’s the kind of project that I'd like to work on again. Maybe I’ll try my hand at a pizzeria tycoon game, who knows. The point is that it would be something for fun, and something for the fans."

Cawthon continues, suggesting the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy's movie is in "amazing hands" and that he's still working to release a VR game down the line. "I think this is where I step back," he concludes before thanking fans of the series for their understanding and support.

Don't really care about these games but this sounds pretty admirable

I didn't even know he was still making them.
Good for him for taking a step back and trying to find his passion for game making again.

Why not just put it on hiatus, then? Instead of canceling.

No it's been longer than 3 days since the games were first released.

So people don't keep asking for it when he seems to find no enjoyment in making it

Which would make sense if he also didn't say he's not quitting development and he's also not quitting the Five Nights series. Makes more sense for a hiatus and take a breather if he says he's not done, anyway.

Sounds like he just got burnt out on it. Obviously it's still pretty popular, what with the upcoming movie and all the toys and stuff. He doesn't really need to make a sixth game for this thing to continue making money.

Didn't he publicly apologize for that? If I'm thinking of the right game. He was ashamed of it.

The series has a massive following of kids, mainly prepubescent boys.
