Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Huh looks like Receiver 2 sold pretty well on Steam in 2020 and then they launched this lawsuit. Small indie company, 4 people.
I guess they looked at the 30% cut and decided to take a stab at suing over it. Honestly if other indies knew about this they might lend some support as it stands to reduce the cut taken and that would benefit them all.
I think they're still salty about Overgrowth actually.
Why are they mad about that one? The game did great for a tech demo.
They were mad that valve take monies
The weird violent anthropomorphic rabbit fighting game that never went anywhere?
Yea lmao
Wolfire is founded by the guy that created humble bundle. So they're a competing storefront in a way.
Ahhh i missed that. Makes significantly more sense. I was sorta confused at how this all came about when looking at their games tbh.
