    Calling Devolver Digital the “Cult of the Lamb publisher” is like calling Pixar the “Toy Story 4 creators”. It’s not untrue, but they’re also known for publishing a lot of other things. But I get why they picked this game for the headline, it’s in vogue right now.

      It’s also like the perfect example of a gamepass game.

      I loved it for like 3 days and then it ran out of depth and I haven’t touched it since.

    the company believed they undervalued the games.

    Almost definitely true. The type of games that devolver publishes are often fantastic, but they are smaller experiences that a subscription model would nigh certainly never pay for fairly.

    Devolver have done some terrific games going way back - I think the first time I played one of their games was the first Reigns for mobile and that was what, 2016?

    Their name is a good indicator of quality so good for them thinking rationally about what they have to offer to players and not just taking the money
