![]() ![]() We don't have to go into the specifics, but we needed money. As though their detractors, who had yet to actually make themselves known, are too stupid to be able to care about multiple things at once.Īll they needed to do was just say "Look, we planned for a Steam release, but the game we're working on with just two people is putting us in serious financial stress. They called out people who had yet to surface about their supposedly "irrational" mistrust for Epic, said that the critics were all whiners or Toxic Gamers, and that people should find other things to care about, like human rights abuses or global warming. It's not the deal itself (like the devs claim) that garnered them such a massive backlash, it's that they KNEW there would be a backlash of any kind, and instead of just trying to explain why they took the deal (they need the money, what indie developer doesn't?!), they made a lengthy, defensive post about it. What is so remarkably sad about all this is that they could have avoided the worst of the backlash with a totally different approach.
