From Rock Paper Shotgun: “As many good-lookin small-budget games are wont to, Ooblets has signed a timed exclusivity deal with the Epic Games Store in exchange for extra funding. Thats common enough that we didnt even post about it. Also disappointingly common is the harrassment which follows, here directed at Glumberland, the tiny two-person development team behind the kinda Pokémon with cute dance-offs game.
The studio misjudged the tone of their announcement and thats being used to justify some real unjustifiable garbage. What makes this especially frustrating is a response from Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, who tweeted an unfunny joke using the Ooblets outrage as a punchline. Nice one. Thatll calm everyone down.”
