Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

Running With Scissors is a "legendary" developer?

Postal was a violent mess that didn't age well.

Postal 2 was a buggy mess that also didn't age well.

After that, it was just legitimately bad games on top of the humor not aging well. (They literally don't even acknowledge Postal 3)

Seriously, who the fuck would label them legendary? They've been a broken mess for over a decade.

I'd label them legends in the sense that they're probably one of the game studios I know by name the best even though that's all they have to show for it. Postal 2 for as bugged and edgy as it is, is an extraordinarily famous game.

know by name

Sure

know the best

Ehh.... Even putting aside things like Nintendo.... Let's just say I know the names of actual developers on several small studios, including bad games, and I have no idea of a single person who made Postal
