Damnit Bobby.

Buy it until their sales numbers get to about 3 million units where sold where the devs bonus starts to cap out. Apparently the devs get $3.12 for every dollar in sales past around $70 million and their total bonuses cap out at $250 million.

If you really want to royally screw Krafton over while making sure the devs get the maximum payout, hoist the colors when they announce 3 million total units sold 🏴‍☠️

It’s a bit petty but what I want to know is what is the minimum # of units sold that will trigger the Subnautica devs getting their $250 million bonus so we can screw Krafton even harder by encouraging people to pirate it after :>

I mean it’s the first I’ve heard of it too :o

Still playing Withering Rooms and still absolutely enchanted by it. @Coelacanth@feddit.nu 's review of it initially sold me on it so I’ll just paste it again here!:

I finished Withering Rooms a few days ago, having done both a full first playthrough and a quick run through NG+ to get the ending exclusive to NG+. Since then I’ve been in that odd spot where I’m kind of having trouble moving on to the next game. I just keep thinking about Withering Rooms.

This game was so amazingly good, it is seriously unbelievable it is the work of a solo dev. Especially since he also composed pretty much all the music - and the music is as phenomenal as the game. I don’t think I’ve been this impressed with a solo dev since Lucas Pope and Obra Dinn.If you vibe in any way with what you see on the Steam page, I heavily encourage you giving it a shot.

It is one of the most unique games I’ve ever played, which is funny because it simultaneously wears its inspirations on its sleeves. But the influences never end up leading to derivative end product, instead they are just the foundation for the very distinctive artistic vision of an auteur developer that is doubtlessly doing his own thing.And it’s not just about the story and world building and art direction and atmosphere, but the gameplay and build variety is also really good. All the gameplay systems are so well designed, the puzzles are intuitive and the game has so many thoughtful little touches you wouldn’t expect from the first game of a solo dev, especially on the QOL front.

The combat itself is a little clunky, but you do get used to it and there are several ways to build both melee and spellcasting, there is a ranged weapon build that leans more into consumables, you can sneak around and place traps, you can be a summoner… Probably more that I didn’t think of yet. And using all these different tools is a lot of fun.Having played this I am unbelievably excited for the sequel, which enters Early Access this year.

Like okay maybe once sure, honest mistake. But they’ve done it multiple times. With that long a history of stealing the work of independent artists and only compensating them after getting caught red-handed makes you really wonder how much they’ve gotten away with that just hasn’t been noticed yet.

That’s what I could find with a cursory search. There’s at least a couple more I had in a previous post I made but it was awhile ago but Lemmy doesn’t have a way to easily search your previous comments so I’m not gonna bother scrolling back a years worth to find it 😮‍💨

Goddamn. They really do have a comic for everything.

Have a good feeling he’s gonna take up a role in Henry Cavill’s WH40k project next! 💪

Slice and Dice

Been playing for years now. Still not tired of it!

Serves them right for buying a studio full of art thieves :p

Do you really want to be asking that 🤔

Omg netrunner is the best card dueler I’ve ever played! I only played the physical version for like 2 years but it blew me away with it’s level of asymmetry and innovative mechanics that blended right in with the theme.

Not a huge fan of how bloated the card pool became and how they shifted away from the bluffing aspect of the game in later sets.

Hope they do an official reboot at some point!

Oh shit, protomolecule is happening 😨

Should be happy you dodged a bullet there man. Imagine how miserable your life would be spending it with a fair-weather only life partner ✌️

Think how much it resonates is going to depend on how it relates to your personal experiences with grief and how people deal with it. I think what hit home for me personally is how I could fully sympathize with all of the character’s motivations.
