I get what you're saying but not everybody wants to go through the effort and time and would rather take the easy way out which happens with some devs. I don't think they should be blammed for that, it's the same way in real life where most people want the easy way. Btw what anime is your signature from it looks interesting.

I dunno, I find people ending themselves as taking the easy way out and that's something people tend to look down on. Making your own way in the world through youe hard effort and work tends to earn more praise and looked upon in a better light than getting bought out, Minecraft for example was made popular thanks to the small number of devs, they didn't need funding from one of the big 3 to be successful at all and there are other devs out there who manage this with less. Undertale is a recent example and is becoming quite popular and getting great reviews and yet 1 guys with the help of person or two made his game possible, then there's the funding of Star Citizen through the gamers themselves.

You can judge people and their actions just like you can judge what happens when they sell an IP or allow it to get snatched up, I tend not to agree with allowing it to get snatched because I see them working for it as they are as being a better effort and more worthwhile and it would show for it in the end (if they actually do put their all into it).

I mean sure I do want the easy way sometimes but then I just rememebr that it wouldn't feel all that legit or meaningful, I feel that if I start somewhere and work my way then my life will have meaning and working hard towards what I want can show for it in the process.

It's from French animator/Game dev studio Ankama and the show is called Wakfu (has 2 seasons, 3 OVA's and another 3 based on events after season 2, and two movies with the other counterpart show "dofus" getting it's own movie since it's had it's own game and mini series like Wakfu has).

(Also Wakfu also had a game on the 360 arcade store a few years back).

You're forgetting it's very rare to be the popular indie when most are overlooked. Games like Minecraft or Star Citizen could give some hope until you realize it's the equivalent of winning the lottery to indie devs. Unless you get very high ratings or word of mouth most won't sell anything good unless it has really good marketing. When they make the deal they don't know the future so they just weigh everything and come up with a decision that they're comfortable with. Such is anything in life that you're not certain with and have to make compormises. 

Thanks for the name of the series, I apreciate it.
