I'm sure it's an opposite situation where smaller developers feel like they've won the lottery by being asked to be on Gamepass. They're gonna get paid and they'll have a user base far larger than they'd ever have if they weren't selected for the service.
Yeah and I was going to buy it, now I'm not because it's on Game Pass and I'll play it there.
We're talking about a billion dollar company interacting with a basement developer. I do, actually, think they'd try to put the game up without telling them if they thought they could get away with it.
Well, I hope that anecdote is correct because I'd love it if that were the case for indie devs.
Like Christ how hard is it for the rest of y'all to go "here's an example of Game Pass as a total positive for an indie" like this guy did here.
We've had reports from indie devs who couldn't believe the figure quoted to them from Microsoft because it was far beyond what they would have imagined.
If by swindled you mean "paid up front and provided development help", then yes that's exactly what happened :D
Ok so you want civility …
but it's all good if you're the one hurling shit around the thread. Ok lol
that's fair, but when you actually bring up arguments like the devs are being swindled or MS would put the games on GP without the devs knowing you can's really expect serious replies.
Maybe take half a minute to google how indie devs feel about the service before coming here and claiming they're being swindled.
Make people live, make astronaut stuff, create successful habitats, fight off alien and techno scum, space stuff I guess?
You're in for a treat. It converted me from disliking every Rougelike I had played prior to appreciating the genre as a whole. It's phenomenal.
