Another publicly listed entity, the path for Coffee Stain is now set. Expect extreme monetization and dwindling quality. It’s not their fault, it’s what the stock market demands. Rip Coffee Stain Studios, I’ll remember the good times fondly.

Normally, I’d be on board with you, but it does strike me as notable that Coffee Stain has apparently ALREADY been under the umbrella of shareholders this whole time, and is still fucking THRIVING. I’ll also note that Coffee Stain is based in Sweden, where all the things that make them great (I.E. the way devs are treated, which lets them thrive and make great shit) isn’t about to change.
So, I think it’s worth tempering the pessimism a bit, for now. We’ll have to see how it plays out.
