Cuphead, Cave Story, Celeste, Dredge, Furi, Katamari Damacy (and others in the series), Peggle, Super Mario Galaxy
This is true, but it’s not the only factor. Staying private allows a company to not be predatory, but it definitely does not guarantee it - it simply allows the executives to choose. It’s the combination of Valve being private and Gaben always staying true to his values despite his incredible wealth that gave us Steam in its current form.
I’ve known plenty of private companies that were as shitty as a public one, or more. Quality executives are vanishingly rare, particularly at this level of company value.
That is beautiful.
I mean, from an external perspective, that is actually pretty funny in a morbid, depressing sort of way. I can’t see how it’s funny from their view though, seems a bit too on the nose. Maybe they’re celebrating the extent to which they just don’t give a fuck?
