The Day Before debacle only hurts honest game developers

Not much in life is completely black or white. But Fntastic, the now-defunct developer behind The Day Before, just showed us the worst part of the gamer-developer dynamic, and it could spark unwarranted distrust toward honest game developers.

The Day Before launched on Dec. 7, and it was just four days after launch when its development studio closed its doors. This unfortunate turn of events wasn’t just bad in a vacuum, it also dealt devastating damage to the already-strained relationship between gamers and developers, making life for hard-working, honest developers that much harder.
