Sadly, their investors do not seem to share your confidence. 🥲

    I don't think that was a decision by their investors.

    What gives you that impression?

    What I see is that demos help games succeed, ergo investors're happy. You're suggesting that he was so resolute in his stance that he pitched it to them, knowing that he was trying to sell them on a high risk play to what, send a message? 🤓

    The question is, what gives you the impression that investors control the project? Unless proven, I don't think your previous claim is true. I'm not in the position to provide evidence for not doing something, its the other way round.

    I'm questioning your logic, not your sources. Thanks, though. Nice dodge.

    You made the claim. And I don't believe you are right, unless you can prove it. I'm not the making the claim that investors control the demo to be cancelled. Do you have any prove for your claim?

    You're the one making the claim the investors didn't have a play in this. Shouldn't the most obvious/common case be what we default to?

    No no, you stated the investors made the decision. I say, I don't believe it without evidence. Until then it didn't happen.

    Also BTW, isn't this an indie company without investors at all? So I don't know what you talking about. I do not believe investors cancelled the demo of the game. If you cannot prove it, then I don't believe you.
