    Jesus fuck, they got over $10,000, and still want $10 per download? Not even “pay what you want.” $10 or more, for a ROM whose development was fully funded, on a site where people routinely crank out pretty fuckin’ similar games on a lark.

    I’ve made two Game Boy games and I didn’t ask shit for them. I made an NES game, and I ask $15 as a maximum, fully expecting most people will say, neat, I’ll choose free. I wrote all three games from scratch. Kero Kero Cowboy is a GB Studio title, which is every newbie’s it-just-works action-sidescroller engine. You expect it to open with stock music and five minutes of hammering A through generic lore.
