That's unusually really cool of them! Mad props!
Just to give a bit of context: This comes after two months of outright refusal to do even the bare minimum, like transferring the Steam Store listings for games where the devs had full ownership of the IP.
So yeah, it's nice to see that this will seemingly be resolved somewhat nicely, but that's about it.
I've also recently heard about VAs/creators (Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Space Ghost) not getting royalties (and living rough now despite their shows being successful). It's also frustrating considering the style of stuff like this was low-budget in the best possible way.
They probably couldn't figure out how to get a tax incentive out of it
