It still hurts.

>>712525282 (OP)
Making your game a roguelike automatically doubles your sales.

>>712525282 (OP)
Early access is one of the only ways to secure game dev funding without selling your soul to a p*blisher

This, but the problem is once the money starts coming in, it's on the dev's passion/determination to get the game done after that because they got paid so they're under no obligation to see the project through outside of their own desire to finish the game.
Early Access is, like many other things, abused by shitty people which results in the whole system looking bad.

>>712525480
examples of this happening?

And then charge double if you didnt already own it

>>712525282 (OP)
roguelike should work with a variety of genres but it just seems like everyone wants to make a fucking balatro clone these days

>>712526871
