Huh?
so. Balatro was independently developed. but in order to get widespread distribution and funding, it was got across the line with the help of a publisher. now a private equity firm that is the majority stakeholder for Fandom (fka wikia) and Gamespot is buying that publisher
Does this mean they own balatro?
no, but they likely have an exclusivity deal for at least a few years, and possibly in perpetuity
Those pricks just can't stop themselves from ruining stuff, huh?
I feel like I could see LocalThunk adding something to make fun of this
