Sounds like they hate the fact. People are calling their game out as a shit show. Also Dustborn was co-funded by the EU. Euro bros, how does it feel seeing your tax money going into this stuff?
Not in the EU (anymore, thanks tories), but I think it’s fine for small indie studios to get funding through government programs, though obviously it hasn’t turned out well in this case.
Without having read the article yet or knowing anything about this game: You gotta take some losses with investment. I once heard that 1 out of 20 projects in the IT sector pay off on investments, which also matches my experience working as a software engineer.
In particular, the EU is also somewhat behind in this industry. Investing into dev studios, so they can gain experience, that’s what this tax money is for.
Might not be my personal highest priority, as I find AAA games boring anyways, but from a finance perspective and a social perspective, i.e. enabling people to pursue this career path, I can get behind investments like this.
