Does this mean that the other 109K wasted their money?
Because I thought, I read somewhere that the developers pulled out. Which I assume means that there will be no fixes dor the known issues.
109000 copies at $40 minus the 30% steam cut. That’s about 3 million dollars they’re walking away with.
LOL, after what, 5-years of dev time? That’s a monstrous lose.
Pretend there’s only 5 devs, at only $100K/yr. $2.5M in salary, and total payroll costs an employer anywhere from 20-50% more. And then there are benefits. And leadership pay and hardware and hosting fees and software fees and… And if that’s all they made, they are seriously underwater.
All together, house and all, I’m about $100,000 in the hole. I’d rather be me than them. :)
The devs worked for a promise and a prayer, the 1-2 people who run Fntastic lived off the investors’ money for 5 years, with a salary they set for themselves.
The Steam money will go towards what they owe their investors, but it won’t be enough.According to FNTASTIC all their developers were “volunteers”
They would have, but the publisher has agreed to give refunds to anyone who wants one.
Edit: someone else posted sources but here is another one as well

Really? If that’s true that would be the most bizzare thing about the whole situation tbh. Not in a bad way though.
Do you have a source?
To clarify, it’s the publisher not the Devs. They are also likely victims here.
Lol anyone who wants one…imagine not wanting one
