Horrified and taken aback by this massively disproportionate response to two people deciding to make a deal that should benefit their game and not affect their supporters (their patrons on Patreon were never promised the game, let alone on a specific platform), Ben wrote a post with his thoughts on the matter. Some, he said, went so far as to doctor video to make it seem like he had posted something then deleted it. Immediately the two were inundated with messages “on every conceivable platform” telling them to die, swallow bleach, get raped, and both accusing Ben of anti-Semitism and mocking his being Jewish. Except you can go to either one just by clicking your mouse.īut when they announced the news to the broader internet, it drew down on Ben and Rebecca Cordingley the ire of the easily provoked gaming world, specifically those who believe that Epic’s purchase of exclusives for its nascent gaming storefront is an affront to all that is sane and good in this world. Like if the chips you prefer started being sold at 7-Eleven instead of AM/PM.
To be clear, the game will still be able to be bought and played by pretty much everyone on PC, just using a different storefront. This practice adds some stability to what can be a very unpredictable sales environment, and as a side effect gave the two a fund upfront to finish development without having to rely on their Patreon supporters - whom they told about the new deal and consulted about what should happen next.
