Shu also tells me that RIF was paying a “sizable revenue share” to Reddit beginning in 2012, which was during Yishan Wong’s tenure as CEO. Shu says he says initiated the talks with Reddit to create the agreement, which allowed for the licensed use of Reddit’s trademarks. (At the time, the app was called “reddit is fun.”) Shu says Reddit terminated the agreement in 2016 — which was the year after Huffman took over as CEO.
It’s a shame that Reddit’s greed has even prevented them from considering reasonable options like revenue sharing.
It is an amazing series. I started from 0 and eventually ended up 100% completing all the games that are on Steam, including the Judgement games and Ishin (great game, but probably the only 100% I regret). I’m really looking forward to Gaiden and 8.
