I've just played it with my girlfriend for about three hours an we had a blast. It's an upgraded It takes two gameplay
I've heard good things and it's overwhelming positive on steam. I've only seen a short clip and I kind of regret spoiling a funny moment
Fares is the one billionaire i respect, since he only just became one (due to hazelight's value rocketing up). he came to Sweden as a refugee at age ten, spent all his life just making fun movies, got into games, then exploded internationally in just a few years.
he was a guest on a talk show recently, together with the new world champion of the women's biathlon. when the topic of prize money came up and she mentioned she got 300k SEK for her win, he got pissed at the small amount and wired her another 300k on the spot.
Do you have a source that states that he’s a billionaire?
the talk show linked in another comment. hazelight studios is valued at 10 billion SEK and he is the owner.
That’s barely a billion dollars. And it’s a private company if there is a valuation than somebody bought a share in the company, he doesn’t own 100% of the company. So he’s at most only a Krona billionaire.
correct.
This guy is awesome, but being like this should be the norm and nothing special. Unfortunately it isn't the norm.
Can you link to that talk show?

The part about the money starts around 15:00.
They have good intentions, but the game is being published by EA. Can they actually say now to micro transactions?
I'm sure they can find another publisher if it comes to that, with how good their games are
Fares is a rather renowned movie director who seems passionate about his craft, I don't doubt he'll stick to his word.
How have I gone this long without knowing Josef Fares was directing these games?
I don't know his work but that background makes so much sense because as good as these games are, they are extremely rigid. There is only one plot path to success.
There's a point in It Takes Two that some people might not want to take the action suggested, but you have to in order to move the story forward.
(Slight spoiler, it involves deliberately attempting to make their daughter cry.)
Lol I've also heard that before
Well they made it so you only need one copy of the game to play online with a friend, so it seems their money is where their mouth is.
Eh I believe him. He actually seems passionate about his creations so as long as he's in charge I don't think that's gonna happen
Well, I mean, there haven't been microtransactions in their games yet...
So we can take his word for it, for now.
