    When I see games like this I wonder if they will be a supported hit or a fly by night indie trend which will have a sharp decline to and forgotten developer support like what happened to Content Warning and Lethal Company.

    I’m seeing developer support for PEAK, Schedule I and R.E.P.O so the jury is still out on those

    Edit: added schedule I

          I don’t think that I’d tell people it’s only worth a few hours, but I do expect a large portion of those sales to only last for a few hours.

          Some people love the vampire survivors/risk of rain/megabonk game type though, my partner has put around 100 hours into vampire survivors by now. So I expect a core of players to enjoy returning to updates.
