But then I'm really confused by the "wrote things similar to that on DOS, and with several DOS emulators" part. 🤷

@obsurveyor @vampiress there's no making a 3rd because the 2nd one jumped the shark so hard, the only possible way is down. (It also underperformed, and nobody is gonna give them $30+ mil to do another one in the first place.)

I thought all the nuts were left on the Birbsite. 😅

@HauntedOwlbear @lunarloony @Tijn I agree with everything above, but I have a big suspicion that things are gonna get much worse for both consumers and devs when Gaben is gone.

If you haven't heard already, game industry legend Jennell Jaquays had passed away earlier today.
