#4I love their honest answer. Very retro.

#5Literally every indie game dev says exactly the same thing. It had nothing to do with "honesty", just luck again.

#6I wish more games would prioritize couch co-op modes over online play. Games that are focused on online only play basically have an expiration date from the day that they launch. Some may live longer, some may be dead on arrival.
But, make a good game that's playable by friends together at any time on a rainy day? If the game is good, it never dies.

#7This is not a criticism of the developers at all, and certainly not their sentiments. I am behind those 100%. But.
There are so many fantastic games made with just as much heart out there that don't have a tweet go viral and revitalize the playerbase. Developers that aren't able to support their families by doing what they love. While it's always nice to see game development pay off, the real lesson here isn't honesty or values; it's good marketing and good luck.

Unfortunately this is the truth.

TBH, I think the problem is not a lack of people like this, but that there's no oxygen for them anymore. Tech/gaming journalism is on life support (at best). All the remaining platforms are huge and corporate. Big tech is laying everyone off ... The current ecosystem doesn't really reward passion and competence anymore.
