  • AFAIK it goes to both. However as far as I understand the whole situation the Devs get a massive payout if the game reaches a set number of purchases during early access. The amount is so high that the publisher fears that publishing the game is going to be a net negative for them (the publisher). This is why the publisher has tried everything legal and supposedly illegal to get out of paying this bonus.

    So in short: The money goes to both but if you want to screw the publisher buy it during early access.


  • I think similar how the EU adopted the USB-C as mandatory standard for charging, it should force other industries, including software vendors, to follow commonly defined standards.

    In case of browsers that is Chrome using it’s de facto monopoly to force other browser to rush to catch up with their custom crap. Yes, as a side effect that would also break a lot of existing webpages because they rely heavily on browser bending over backwards to accommodate sites serving effectively broken HTML i.e. but in the long term this would improve the internet as a whole.
