Klei’s a cool dev studio, they’re supposedly pretty good about not doing intense crunch cycles, etc. Dont Starve is probably their most popular title.
I’ve been playing a ton of Oxygen Not Included lately (just started manufacturing liquid oxygen for the first time, gotta get those rockets going), so I’ve checked in on the reddit pretty regularly. They’re not doing well, folks:
People are whipping themselves into a frenzy about free Taiwan (Mao already did that smh), spyware (not sure what they think internet in the global north is financed by) and general yellow peril shit. The reddit threads link to posts on the Klei forums which are just as trash, but not as easy to browse as reddit imo.
Never change, reddit
I mean, the country of origin of the corporation doesn’t matter. A corporation having that much power over a small cool indie company does not bode well.
I’m just sad a megacorp bought a majority share of one of the chillest indie studios around. i hope it doesn’t drive off the talent and force the rest to crunch to death. don’t care which megacorp it is. tencent just like any other is going to demand exponential growth at the expense of the worker.
