We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

No mate, I'm doing you a favour playing your game. You should pay me. It would be great exposure. I've got literally some followers.
And yeah, I'll bang on about minimum wage being too low and I'll post about AAA Devs ripping off their workers, but a lone developer asking $10 for something that probably took them months, too much. Too much.
What a sell out.
(/S just in case)
Did they face significant backlash? Or is IGN just trying to "make fetch happen"? I might have just missed it.
Didn't it only become popular because of that sub that joined the Titanic?
No, it got popular before that 'cuz Markiplier.
Not sure if that coincided with the release time, but it is on its own a very cool game, if that event got people's foot in the door to experience it and enjoy it on its own merits, then hey.
"You're only doing it for the money" to a game dev is the same as being asked in a job interview to show all the git repos you worked on in your spare time.
People develop skills, and they often choose to use those skills to make money. We expect game devs to only break even now? F off with that shit.
Meh, it's two dollars and the dev is an indie, at least it doesn't go towards filling the pockets of a large publisher.
People will literally complain about everything, no sense in trying to appease everyone all the time.
No matter what it is you do or how well you do it, even if you do it for free, a specific subset of motherfuckers will still act like you owe them something.
Especially when you do it for free. I write a lot of open source and sometimes the comments are real "nice".
I wish cities and elected officials would have the same mindset. Instead the best action for some reason has become inaction.
Best to do nothing, then have one group or another hate you?
