In addition to selling out to a major, non-indie company, all future content (including that of currently-planned development arcs) will only be released through expensive DLC packs.
Considering how long you've been waiting, we at [insert_massive_faceless_corporation_here] have no doubt as to your willingness to fork over a measly $20.00 for the Myth & Magic DLC.
At least then the myth and magic update might come to fruition, instead of being stalled for the sake of this "Steam DF" shit. Fuck, even part 2 of villians got put on hold for this waste of effort.
Besides, i consider most "indies" to be far worse to sell your life's work to than a "faceless corporation". At least the latter has shareholders to please, and pleasing the shareholders needs customers. So corps are a known quantity. Their behaviour and products can be predicted. They want their stuff to have mass-appeal, while being just fresh enough to be novel.
Indies only have their own egoes to please, while pissing their ill-formed political opinions into the cesspool of social media, for all the world to see.
For the sake of the thread, here's a terrible suggestion:
Break off the "partnership" with KitFox and get Chucklefish to publish DF instead.
