Made by New Blood, those seem like some stand up guys

Can't wait for them to be corporate cogheads in 30 years if history repeats. Or I'm too cynical

I'm pretty sure Dave Oshry would find a way to somehow fuck over whatever company tries to acquire New Blood, like employee contracts that give each employee a $5m bonus if the company gets acquired, required to be paid by the acquiring company. He just seems like the kinda guy who'd do that.

I checked out their stuff on steam and I'll probably pick up some of their games. Thanks for the info that they aren't scummy.

Dave Oshry is outspokenly pro-union.

I should pay more attention to names and stuff. I have played and enjoyed half their catalogue and didn't even know it was made by the same devs haha

@Stamau123 @alessandro If that happens, it won't be out of their free will, but out of economic necessity. The cycle is well mapped already. Company starts losing steam, needs to get sold to a venture capitalist, the new owner ends up draining the last few bits of dignity the company used to have.
