To be fair to that game, it had a lot going for it. It was one of the earliest Vampire Survivor ripoffs, which was one of the biggest indie games of last year. And it let people collect waifus (the one gambling hit VS was missing) of their actual oshis who have an inbuilt massive audience.
Then all the Hololive girls started playing it and making it look good, which drove positive attention in droves.
I doubt many games could actually top it with all that going for it.
Also true. That's something ironically most VS clones failed as well. They try to charge "indie game prices" where the original that people were still playing was 3$ and that was one of the biggest keys to its success.
I think Arch was going on mentioning this too as if we didn't push back, they'd make it their policy going forward
All major studios seem to have run out of 'goodwill' nowadays, hell Overwatch 2 has less players than an Indie fan game made of Hololive vtubers..

It is also free. You can have a lot of leeway with "free".
