  Maybe y’all should eat at a restaurant in Germany before you judge German cuisine. I’m not walking into a McDonalds and go “MMM, AMERICAN FOOD TASTES LIKE SHIT!” Fucking hell…

  I believe that there’s always luck involved to some extent. You have a very valid point, though, if a game is THAT good, at some point success becomes the only plausible outcome. So definitely not a hill I would die on.

  I’m not sure how they started, but Brotato came from a very small studio, and rose up to top-played on Steam Deck and some other charts. It made their creators a lot of money, because they were lucky, sure, but also because they made a very good game and had a platform to sell it from.

  As far as I know, their monetisation scheme is also quite fair. I might be one of those fanboys, but I think Valve deserves it to some extent. There’s much worse players out there, and with the money they are making and the market share they have now, they could absolutely be one of the bad ones and not care.
