Probably buying Cult of the Lamb. Waiting to get my OLED Deck first though, still only at "packaged". :/
I'm not thrilled by that developer, "unity is terrible, I'm de-listing my game on new years day" is now "that was a joke tweet". I never had a problem with unity trying to monotize their problem, but the knee jerk reaction from the gaming community was reactionary and showed immaturity, that some developers (cult of the Lamb included) jumped onboard, and now are trying to play the "it was a joke" card, is pathetic and has made me decide to remove their product from my wish list, when I should be buying it. (Discovered this today when checking out the discussion board, apparently they're planning dlc which has been delayed to next year, which is aftwr they were supposed to be de-listing)
I mean, it was also reactionary by Unity and they've since walked back their executable fee plan for legacy applications. If that didn't happen I have no doubt Cult would have been pulled, because what indie can afford to pay PER INSTALL?
I fully blame unity for the debacle and fall out, and don't think it's right to blame devs for backtracking after unity put new conditions on the table.
Their Twitter page also clarified literally the next day that it wasn't a serious tweet, and they weren't expecting the media to run with it like they did.

Even if they did delist it, though, I fully understand. They sold over 1 million copies in their first week or something? They would behave been overwhelmingly affected by this pay-per-install issue.
