I know Valheim has a very small team, but Alex I think is like 1.5 people (probably with day jobs), so he would have a real hard time keeping pace with expectations. * (I made up these numbers, I don't care they're wrong)

There's straight up a goon in that game's thread who's all huffing and puffing about how bad the Valheim team are at dev because updates don't come faster and they can tell because they're a professional developer and

Hell, sometimes even complete, finished, fully released games get ragged on because they don't get more than some basic patches to fix bugs and problems. Look at the reaction to Banished from years back. A fully realized game day 1 of release and people were soon calling it "Abandoned" because it was of fixed and intentional scope and not promising more more more.

They probably have contractual obligations to Coffee Stain, but 2 million copies in 13 days with a 5-person (at the time) dev team is a lotta dosh per person if they'd been so inclined.

Nobody else is able to keep that up for long.

Insurrectionist posted:Huh, didn't know that about temp CC numbers. Unfortunately I'm an unpatriotic EU resident and have never owned a credit card in my life so sadly that doesn't work for me. My usual experience when purchasing even from smaller businesses like indie games is I just have to provide my card# and I get automatically rerouted to my bank's own 2FA processor system. But I presume that's because they all tend to use vendors like itch.io or whatever that are able to involve larger payment processors. Revolut is super easy to get. Also as a fellow EU enjoyer every bank I have account offers virtual debit cards you can unfreeze just for that one transaction.
