I could be mistaken, but since it's a Mozilla base code and F-Droid distribution chain, I'm not sure where Google can stick it's thumb in the pie.
TeddE
Still bet someone will create a new set of assets that fit like a glove for preservation purposes. But kinda sucks that it's not quite as useful as I was naïvely thinking.
(currently scrolling from the throne) Fixed that for you
Honestly? They're probably going to continue to offer the game on Steam and it will probably continue to trickle in revenue. Most people who are interested in the game have already bought it, so it's never going to draw in millions again.
The game is currently listed at $15, but goes on sale frequently for $3. I bet many new players would be happy to pay steam $3 for the cloud save and steam's easy game management, as opposed to compiling from source for every new PC install.
Finally, the gameplay loop between Rogue Legacy and Rogue Legacy 2 are pretty similar. This means the the original is a good extended demo for the sequel which is .$25, but up to 50% off. Frankly, it's a great marketing move at this stage in the game's lifetime.
File under "abusive uses of technology"
Yes. Since Halloween is the last day of October, the 31st, it's kinda never on the 13th. So yeah, it's a shitpost.
All technology development stands on the shoulders of giants. It's unethical for modern giants to refuse to continue the tradition.
Or just agree with what your betters want you to think, obviously.
Probably not after it was paid off
Can we all at least agree that counting numbers are a joke? Sometimes they start at zero … sometimes they start at one …
