Unsurprisingly over on you had dork gamers decrying the developer for denying the profits to the IP owner. Like literally arguing that the game would not have been made if publisher has not provided funding... But like it definitely wouldn't have been made if the developer hadn't made it. Some people are so far gone.
It REALLY sucks to hear someone who was a part of making of a thing is in no way benefiting from the purchase of a thing. Sure there are free games and FOSS and stuff, but it really just sucks to think everything is gig-work or contractors or whatever. If your name in the credits of a thing, you should get some of the coin from when people buy it. Also we shouldn't try to push people out of credits of the creation of things which happens all the time sadly.
