- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

$1500 if you don't count any development time at all.
That was just the assets he purchased, but yeah even if we are being generous in terms of salary how did someone put together a better game with like 1% of the time and resources?
Ok so even assuming $50/hr for the dev time, we're still only talking $16,500
That's a very different number than $1500.
It's only one extra number.
