My favorite artists, performers, and entertainers have all made things I didn’t like so much. It’s cool. When artists have a miss, that’s when they need fans the most to root them on so they are motivated to keep creating. I don’t know if I will ever make anything again that you like, but wouldn’t it be better for you to have that chance to decide than for artists to never create again after a marketplace miss?
This isn’t his game. He bought a game other people created and then made a shitty DLC, probably in an effort to cash in on the name and success of the original. That’s not what artists do, that’s what out of touch CEOs do.
In November 2022, Gearbox Entertainment acquired the Risk of Rain IP. Hopoo Games remains an independent studio. Hopoo now states that they are working on other games and projects.
The Steam page for the DLC also lists Gearbox Software as the developer and Gearbox Publishing as the publisher so yeah. Seems accurate.
It’s not even comparable, he didn’t make something and it wasn’t good, he broke what was already good. Imagine an artist adding a track to an old album and it distorting the quality of the rest of the tracks. That’s what he did.
Lol @ the Gearbox CEO defending the DLC

Oh what? It’s not the original devs? Fucking hell. No wonder it sucks.
