  Can you elaborate on that? I’m only vaguely familiar with Roblox and not sure what this means exactly.

  The amount of “reminder: these are optional, don’t attack people who want to use them” and “do avoid the comments on the page I just linked” really highlight the sort of toxicity the current gaming community experiences.

  Feeling so many Mouthwashing vibes from this and dang this looks promising.

  Good insights 👍 and also good luck with your novel

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong won't cost nearly as much as they could probably charge for it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They surely could charge more, but what they’re charging feels sane economically. They’re what, 4 team members grand total?

  Hollow Knight was hugely popular for any game; latest figures are 15 million copies sold. Well, unlike a AAA studio that has to split costs quite widely and account for profit margin demands and disproportionately high compensation for upper leadership and all that fun stuff, the proceeds for Team Cherry could be divided much more tightly and equitably.

  Which is just to say, they’re hopefully doing well as it is and maybe are in positions to be comfortable regardless of how much Silksong makes, at least in the short to mid term, so they could comfortably be chill about pricing.

  TBH this is a great game to try on a free weekend. I got so frustrated so fast when I tried it after grabbing it a year or so ago, but there’s a lot that still conceptually appeals to me. I want to give it a go again, but it’s lower on my list because of the first foray.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 wants you to join the space police⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I swear I can never read an article title referencing Outer Worlds 2 without reading Outer Wilds 2 and first having my heart stop and second wondering about the dramatic shift in game direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paying the Subnautica 2 team their promised bonus would be "embarrassing", Krafton's CEO allegedly told the game's chief over lunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The article also states that the founders had endeavored to distribute more of their share to the other employees, and this was a sticking point in Krafton’s attempt to walk back the original deal:

  But the trio declined, claiming the amount was not “anything close to what they deserved, and did not allow them to share the earnout with the full team.””

  Given this I don’t think we can fairly prejudge the trio — if they’d received the bonus and then reneged on their promise or made it a negligible amount then it’d be fair to judge them harshly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: Telltale Games Working With Influencers For The Wolf Among Us 2 Marketing Campaign⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally fair take, but for me I’m just excited for the prospect of more Wolf Among Us. Telltale had hits and misses but I definitely felt Wolf was among the former and I love to see stories finished like their Walking Dead series
