I don’t think that a single product whose price has multiplied by 50 times at once has ever been successful. Shit, even small price increases on streaming services over time cause people to resort to privacy (as we all should). 50 times at once is fucking insane. I don’t think that any reasonable developer will actually be buying this shit, because there’s always better alternatives available. This is fucking stupid.
The thing is, they only need to successfully extort 3% of the font users to make a profit that way. And especially in text heavy games, it’s not easy to just quickly switch out a font without formatting/visual issues
Its more likely they increased the price and immediately starting shaking down anyone who was paying for the old license price. Its a frustrating scummy tech company “strategy” that unfortunately works because someone at a developer or publisher will be willing to pay the hike if it means avoiding any legal battle.

Unfortunately, people need that to live.

Man, shit is so fucked up. I wonder how bad things in general will have to be until something might get done about it.
