They'll be the High Voltage Software of this generation, trying to capitalize on the lack of devs devoting resources to the Wii U.

Their intentions are good and, they are kind of clever, playing the good guy who sides the victim of the entire bullying of the school. However, this is no different than an indie dev making a game on the Wii U, so it won't be the next big thing every Wii U owner dreams of and no, it won't matter or make a difference.

This is basically free good publicity for them, they might make a game that people would buy just because they feel will be supporting a good cause. Meanwhile the "bullies" keep pumping AAA games that no WiiU-only owner will get to play.

the parallel to high voltage was pretty immediate to me too.

...hadn't heard of them for a while so i just looked them up.  looks like the ported the conduit to smartphones and created two more games for smartphones.  a bit of contractor work on other peoples titles but nothing on a nintendo console since the conduit 2.  looks like the realities of having to pay the bills set in and in the end they realized that even they, small as they are, can't justify working on a nintendo console.
