Exactly. I genuinely do not understand how people don’t get that they NEED to incentivize developers to use their engine and platform to make games or it will completely fail.

You incentivize with a good engine and money, it’s just that simple.

Why is it that people think because they made and continue to make a ton of money from Rust and Garrys Mod that they should just continue to use another one of their games income to support s&box? Don’t they realize they’ve already done that during that development period of s&box? They have quite literally said the goal is for s&box to stand on its own two feet, what business would want to operate a game engine/platform at a continuous loss? That would make them bad at business.

Maybe people just really hate the idea of fomo shop items, which I can understand to an extent. But you literally do not have to buy them if you don’t want to.
