That guy, like me sometimes, just needs to stop posting. He very clearly left the impression that they were on the verge of shutting down, and then he tried to backtrack those statements. Granted, they had a publisher until a few weeks ago, but that game has sold extremely well, and they shouldn't be in any financial danger.Especially when you write political articles about No Rest for the Wicked and then you close the comments.
Regardless of concurrent player counts, the lowest industry estimate for sales is around 900k, and the average of the 3 estimates I usually see as fairly accurate is that it's sold about 1.1 million copies. If there's a problem with money, it must be that their deal with the publisher (and getting out of that deal) must have cost them dearly.Political or not, the drama around that dude and No Rest for The Wicked isnt made up. If you read his tweets, past discords, past articles and who he actually does blame for the game doing bad, you'd see theres something there. The game has never really reached over 10k on steam and even the latest update didnt bring in all that much and i wouldnt be suprised if the person mentioned here is somewhat apart of that reason.
Looks to me like the players have rallied around this developer. The game has about 12000 recent Very Positive reviews.
I could be wrong, but that's an insane percentage of the overall number of reviews for a game that's been out for a little more than a year. He didn't ask them to support him. He just said he needed good reviews of the game, and it looks like they delivered.From a quick scan through the reviews no one mentioned anything about the developer, they just like that the game got a big new update.
