As someone who works in the gaming industry, the full quote is “No one wants to ship a bad game… But money.”
yeah i sympathize with game devs here but i hardly think the backlash is unreasonable. at the end of the publisher is asking $60 for a fundamentally broken game that they had to know wasn’t in a workable state and people aren’t generally being refunded their purchase here
Game developers don’t want to ship a bad game. Player don’t want a bad game.
Most big publishers don’t care whether a game is bad so long as it sells well.
Tbh I expected better from Daedelic but from what I’ve seen, this looks to be more of a “bit more off than they can chew situation”. The price of the game for what you get and the paid “Elvish language DLC” is a stupid and greedy idea.
