My point is responding to "For anyone nitpicking the animations, UI or graphics choice... Please go and read about the reasons which drove the Adams brothers to finally cash in on their 20 year long passion project."
They have been cashing in for a decade, it is a profession game put out by a decently paid experienced team, if I want to have a problem with the graphics or gui at whatever price they are charging, I will do so.
Including patron, it looks like they averaged over 11k per month last year.
- RHSeeger 4y ago> decently paid experienced team If you're talking about the team they have doing the front end work for them, sure. But if you're talking about the two DF developers, certainly not. They've been making money on the game for years, sure... but a relatively low amount of money on the game, certainly not something I'd label as "cashing in". Rather, I think they believe the Steam move is "cashing in" because they hope it will bring them a lot more money; an amount I would help is better aligned with their work.
