    They produce nice material. Sometimes they're so focused on frame-rates it's annoying though.

      I mean that is what normal people care about, too. If the game is a stuttery mess, it is more negatively perceived than if the game is graphically meh imo. _As someone who does care about framerate_, I do what you are getting at, though.

    It feels like I’ve seen most places that went independent die out but I don’t have any data to back it up.

      DF already has a vibrant Patreon community so they’re not starting from scratch on funding themselves. I’m excited to see what they can do going forward.

      I get the sentiment but I have to give it to DF, they have been taking the slow and steady route. That is a path to success in their field.

      As a videogamer I hope Digital Foundry survives this, because they give lots of data-based insights about the industry, especially from a tech perspective. And as a follower and fan of their videos, I must add that these guys seem smart enough to figure it out.
