GDC 2015: 'Crashlands' is a Grand Adventure with a Hefty Dose of Humor

TouchArcade: I know we've only been at GDC 2015 for one day so far, but I think I already have a favorite game of the show: Crashlands from Butterscotch Shenanigans. We first posted about the game in October of last year, but it's actually been in development since late 2013. It's a game about surviving, crafting, fighting wacky enemies and sometimes befriending them, exploring, fishing and general adventuring. It's a massively ambitious game for a studio made up of just three brothers, and it's the dream-game one of those brothers wanted to make as he faced an uncertain future during a battle with cancer. After more than a year of blood, sweat, tears and chemotherapy, Crashlands is finally hitting the home stretch, and it's turning out to be something pretty special.

Crashlands Review | TheXboxHub

Paul writes: "Crashlands by Butterscotch Shenanigans is one of those rare games where a whole stack of ideas has been thrown into the mix, yet the result is a beautiful blend rather than a stodgy mess. The story isn't the strongest, but the wish to see what Flux can build next, the need to gear up to beat a boss, the exploring, and the taming of creatures all just works."

Epic still trying to buy their way onto people's computers.
I just find it funny that there's people out there who literally only grab the free games, and have no intention of purchasing off their lackluster store.

Yeah this is their marketing tactic to get more people

And the funny thing is, if this tactic works, and they get a major foothold in the market, all this "we're pro developer/consumer" bs is going to end.
I'm 100% convinced that gracious dev split will start to lower, and the free games will largely go away.

They have F.U (fortnite) money right now, and they're happy to dump it into this store, in the hopes they can strong arm the PC storefront market; making that much more in the future.

Giving free game? What a terrible company. Man, even stores have fanboys now.

I also explained why they do it, and why it would likely go if they become popular.
You just addressed one singular thing I made a point of though.

I've gotten some excellent games from epic I'm happy to get humble bundles etc to redeem on steam but won't make any steam purchases unless there's no choice like mcc halo.

I've transferred my dcs stuff over to standalone won't be giving them 30% rather it goes to devs.
