It's refreshing to see evil motherfuckers being evil openly instead of trying to hide it with doublespeak or outright denying it. I love Coffee Stain Studio's games and how they handle monetization, and this announcement makes me worried for both the studio and their projects.

Damn I didn't know that Coffee Stain was owned by Embracer.

If Embracer forces them to stop working on Valheim or Satisfactory imma shit some bricks.

If they somehow shove mtx into valheim I'm gonna riot.

Don’t worry, the business model of companies like Embracer is literally to strip mine “inefficient” businesses run by artists through short circuiting the positive feedback loop between game developers passionate about what they do and loyal fans, trashing the work environment for the employees by cutting everything, and ripping off fans until they realize the place that made the art they love is alive only in name.

Valheim will be fine!

Ah damn, really? CS publishes/develops some great games.
