I believe they mention specifically that that will continue.

Cocoon is getting really good reviews, which I'm very glad to see, especially as the last game from ex-Playdead staff (Somerville) was something of a letdown. Looking forward to playing it on Game Pass once I scratch a few more games off my backlog.

Someone in a Discord just reminded me that Bandcamp staff unionised lol.

I was as surprised as anyone that epic didn’t poo poo up bandcamp and this gives me an amount of hope that it will be able to survive in its current form, although I have no forecast for how hard the new owner will try to ruin it

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

they manage licensing deals (aka "sync") for musicians. so, best case scenario is that they change nothing except provide some integration to make sync deals easier for bandcamp musicians.

This "tutorial" message popped up in Lies of P and I laughed out loud at it because I have no idea what a Wishstone or a Cube are. This is the first time I've ever seen those terms. I also like that the screenshot is just a slightly different version of the same baffling text again.

A lotta y'all still don't get it. There are various kinds of Wishstones, which can be equipped to Cubes. Using Cubes consumes Wishstones. You can equip a Wishstone to a Cube or replenish it through Giangio or a Stargazer.

KotOR's an especially big elephant to try and eat for a first time remake project because RTwP ain't gonna fly in 2023, and even something more action lite like FF7R isn't a walk in the park to implement, so you're doing double duty trying to faithfully recreate every nostalgic element fans remember and making an entirely new game to support it
