LRT: some baffling yet not entirely surprising revelations in that piece, Judd's personal transgressions are the rightful focus but that whole company seems to be fucked from every angle & idk how they've managed to last even for the relatively short while they've been around
some of that stuff was already evident from the outside, too: marketing for individual games being co-opted into puff pieces for the publisher, constant pointless streams and videos aimed at & watched by nobody, etc.
unrelated to the article but their "get classic JP dev to co-sign new retro game" shtick always struck me as hokey
we've gone from overseas publishers exploiting JP devs to expat-in-JP publishers using nostalgia/reverence for JP games to exploit overseas devs, that's Progress
