I am impressed and surprised to watch Panic Software's transition from exceptional mac software developers, to exceptional Game Producers. I'd love to hear from them about their choice to start publishing games, and their strategy for success in that market.
I love Panic. Playdate looks awesome, I am happy for their success, and I wish them the best. That said, I think both the games they've produced (Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game) are duds. They're flashy, well marketed, and totally underbaked.
