Chesmu 212 Report post Posted January 28 (edited) Klei, how could you? do you remember our days back then? Now you are cheating on me with this... Lol, you are being Very dramatic here folks, I was feeling the same way when I read this firsthand, but kept my finger energy for myself a moment, thought about it, and realized I don't even know why I'm mad! The game is still there, Klei is still here, Moon is still there, but Developers have a lot of money now; I don't see how that hurts anyone.

I became a game dev cause of Klei and their games. What exactly "Sell Themselves Out" means? can you explain it further? This term is usually used in very different context and time! Klei sold stakes of the company, not themselves, which is a business deal. I'm sure if your game gets a bit more reputation, anytime soon a lot of companies will offer you deals, if you don't accept what is best for you, well, you will not progress.

It is understandable why you are upset, I also do not like this change, but you have got to remember that making and maintaining video games is expensive. As an independent game company, Klei was always in need of cash, why do you think they make Griftlands and Epic Games store exclusive? I hope that your career goes well but I highly doubt you will always have a big budget on hand to maintain your games, Klei did a good business move, not ethical, it ensures them that they always have a steady influx of cash coming in from their parent company now, only time will tell on how drastic of an impact this will leave.

Stock owners do not supply a steady info of cash, they give a one time payment once purchasing the stock. It’s Klei that would be giving 51% of their stock distributions to Tencent. You wouldn’t buy stocks of McDonalds for the opportunity to pay a portion of their bills. If a part of Klei is operating at a loss, they are going to change or eliminate the business line. Money has to come from consumers to be sustainable in the long term. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
