Just keep in mind there's a nuance in success between "we sold two millions" and "a lot of it was at a discount and it took eight years, at least one lawsuit which left the parent company a near empty husk, and not paying the staff which left the initial developer to finish the game and is leaving again by the way". I love Skullgirls dearly but let's not pretend the game would've reached two millions in the state it was in when it came out, and even that had the better of a year of unpaid work done on it. Not to mention that in the early years the game pitched itself as the result of the union of the skills of Ahad (kicked out) and Mike Z (pushed everyone else out), so to any investor from the "Deus Ex creator Warren Spector says many tend to attribute games to a single person" group it's gonna be an even harder sell now.

I agree with the heavy discount argument, but to also be fair many people purchased Second Encore which didn't have heavy discounts. But yeah I agree with everything else. Very sad as the IP is pretty popular.

Just sell Skullgirls to Arcsys. This applies to most things, also.

"OK, you either take it or leave it." "We'll leave, then. You're hosed, man." *majority leaves* "We're staying, Mike," says whoever remained out of some sense of loyalty "I changed my mind, everyone goes, gently caress off"

How do you lay people off without working out severence? Not even in a "Mikes an rear end in a top hat" sense, but if they're employees that can be laid off surely any severence is specified in their contract?

Because it’s way too easy to start a company and have no idea what the gently caress you’re doing. See the majority of tech startups over the last 20 years.

It's depressing how many people (more than 0) base their entire personalities off "gently caress cancel culture" and defend Mike Z even now, because he's a white guy who has to take responsibility for his actions and that's unfair and the employees are just trying to ruin the company he built!! I wonder why they're so defensive over a socially awkward dude who can't talk to women for 10 seconds without being a creep.

On one hand, a good chunk is because he still is a known FGC figure and developer and major advocate of better netcode in fighting games, the reason we can brandish Skullgirls and KI around say that look, rollback works great (somehow I don't feel people would find Fantasy Strike as convincing). A huge reason Skullgirls got the attention it got initially was due to his preexisting cred. It just sucks that he has to be such a horrible person, and it takes some work to go from "it just sucks but we have to tolerate him" to "it just sucks but we have to get rid of him". But also, yeah, the whole thing's gonna attract that whole crowd you speak about and, well, just ignore them, we've already got our hands full with FGC-specific problems (but hey, maybe another year like that will definitely kill the FGC!).

"at will-employment" is right up there with "cannot go to a doctor for any reason for fear of going bankrupt" and "complete lack of public transportation and services" with things non-americans don't realize are loving busted here, since any reasonable person would start to guess a lack of at least a basic level of functionality

They're not up for order yet but Sega's doing Astro City USB sticks - they're being made for the Astro City Mini plug and play thing they're putting out in Japan but it's a standard-size stick with genuine parts that you can use wherever.

Astro City Mini Arcade Stick's up on Amazon - looking at it now, it doesn't actually confirm USB which is weird but I can't imagine it'd use anything else: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B08H2LH8WK/
