Good Guys Win
Dwarf Fortress on Steam has sold over 300,000 copies. At $29.99.This country seems so dominated by bullies now. Bullying has become a brand. Our entire economic system doesn't reward fair play; it rewards predation. It's overwhelmingly sad.
For over twenty years, while Tarn and Zach have developed this game, they've engaged in countless forum conversations. Not once, in thousands of conversations, have they ever been rude, to the best of my knowledge. They've never bullied. They've never done any of the shitty things that people routinely do to be "successful."
And in the end, they won.
They built an incredibly loyal fanbase the right way, and they've never changed. I've emailed with Tarn occasionally for fifteen years, and he's always been exactly the same. Nothing's ever changed him. I'm sure nothing ever will.
It feels so incredibly satisfying to see good people rewarded. There's a holiday miracle for you.
