When your platform accounts for 70% of a market, maybe you feel a responsibility to take a hands-off approach and not deny someone access on the basis of something as nebulous as a Facebook like.

Basically what I'm saying is that they're not gonna recover their investment on it and it's going to get them laughed at and trivialized.

You know all this drama sent the game to #1 on Greenlight, right? The devs counted on it for PR but it worked better than they ever hoped for, due to their detractors playing into their hands every step of the way and some fortuitous timing with Gamergate (which they weren't even aware of).

i mean, holy poo poo they named a micro-transaction game about kim loving kardashian the most progressive game of the summer. that's comedy gold right there.

Leigh Alexander put that in her top 5 of 2014. Seems like a blatant attempt to troll gamergaters.

This is the current state of the cultural conversation about games. An ongoing spat between self-righteous twats desperate to think their navelgazing about electronic toys has some social importance and people who want to gun them down in said toys. Happy new 2015.
