    Probably why Lethal Company, a game made by one person with little experience, is the 9th highest selling game on Steam.

    I hope this happens more often and AAA studios realize they can also make small experimental games with small budgets and few staff. They don’t need to spend 10 years doing nothing but work on their next monolithic title. Give some passionate staffers a chance with their unique idea and release smaller games along the way.

      Naah, I’d rather see those devs find a way to break away from the major studio and actually get rewarded for their work. I think I would hate to see a single-dev labor of love end up owned by a mega-publisher without having to compensate the dev properly (and I have zero faith in the mega-publishers doing so voluntarily).
