That's coincidental, I was just looking at Sunset. I read it was pretty bad, even when focusing solely on the narrative. Still, I thought The Path was interesting and it's sad to see how arthouse games lack the attention they deserve (although the lack of mass appeal is why they're defined as arthouse in the first place).
if they're not getting the attention then they obviously don't deserve it
you can get completely free marketing on places like youtube, twitch, and social media
honestly i don't even get the argument, are we to be upset that a game didn't do well because people didn't like it? apparently there really are only 4,000 people that like the game, sorry
the video game market is actually extremey generous to small companies in how many ways they can advertise their game at little to no cost and no risk to themselves, as is evident by the hundreds of small games that do well

To be honest I didn't even know this game existed. They dropped the ball on advertising - which is sadly a necessity nowadays

they focused their advertisement on select sites targeting a demographic.
IE, the person who pushed 'gamers are dead' was their consultation to go to these sites.
These devs can go fuck themselves. This is only a really small amount of the things they were saying on twitter.

Gamers always get blamed for throwing a fit and acting entitled, and then this happens.

Wow lol. That's the kind of attitude you want to see from any kind of developer.
I don't think I'd even consider looking at any of their future projects after seeing that. Why are they being so childish about it though?
Just looked at the system requirements on Steam. It minimum requirements include 4gb's of ram and a AMD Radeon HD 6970 with at least 1gb of vram and Its recommended system requirements include 16gb's of ram and aNvidia GeForce GTX 980 4 gb's of vram.
[I]16 giabytes of RAM.[/I]

I'm getting shades of Uwe Boll from those tweets
Thank fucking god, I guess. Those particular devs are terrible as developers, and hell, are plain assholes as people. The fact that they try to explain the poor gameplay of their product by "It's art, therefore you cannot judge it" disgusts me.

At least Uwe's work have some redeeming value. Sorta. Kinda. Alright, it's a stretch, but in comparison.
I dunno, their games are interesting/unique (if a bit too extreme even as experimental stuff) so I'm sorry to see them go in that regard, but man, I get being bitter about it but the way they're acting now is really really awful and childish.
