(also my 9 year-old and I still play a decent heap of Fall Guys now and did tons more in the past, so genuinely thanks for helping manifest something to create a ton of joy and wonderful memories for the two of us)

Gah, well that's mighty kind of you! Heh, any time someone asks how it's going, I just exhale deeply and say, "I have lived a thousand years in the last week."

For real though, the well wishes are supremely appreciated, thank you.
November 13, 2025 at 7:30 AM
Yep, you can indeed. You can literally gets adds/removes on a per-day basis (or aggregated over whatever time period one wants).

Fortunately for us, at least, even now the wishlist count is going up far more than removals.

Thanks friend =) Yeah, it's uh, woof. Without question, the number of EA games I will ship after this is precisely and immovably zero.
November 13, 2025 at 7:25 AM
That's extremely kind of you, thanks. It sure has been... a time. Ha, but we're doing well internally, all of us. Obviously we're not like, stoked but if anything the fire in the belly has been stoked even more. Sometimes the most motivating thing is someone saying you can't.
November 13, 2025 at 7:24 AM
Ahhhhh, Meg, thank you so much! We reference Sunless Skies and 80 Days tons internally, so we're really standing on the shoulders of giants here.

Heh and yeah, it sure has been... a week ;)

For real though, that's extremely kind, thank you

There have been folks with enough space on their dance card to jump in though and their feedback has been hugely valuable already, so the dish will be even more well-seasoned when we see you on the far side ;)
November 13, 2025 at 7:17 AM
Yeah, that makes a heap of sense. And we imagined lots of folks (maybe even a majority) would be similarly disposed. It's more just that ratio being yet even closer to 100% that was... unexpected, heh.
November 13, 2025 at 7:17 AM
Oh yeah, and this totally makes sense to me! I've been on that side of plenty a game as well. It really was just the degree to which the sentiment from people who had been in for EA stuff in the past had moved to wariness that was a bit of a surprise.
November 13, 2025 at 7:14 AM
You know what part wasn't rough though? HOW GOD DAMN HARD THE MUSIC SLAPS
November 12, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Oh dang, well thanks so much buddy! Yeah, it'll be there waiting for you when we... I dunno, smash a bottle of cyber-champagne on the hull for the full launch. For real, the interesting in the interim is hugely appreciated, it means the world to us.
November 12, 2025 at 12:11 AM
Ah ha okay, good data point, thanks!
November 12, 2025 at 12:10 AM
Thanks friend <3

Yeah, we had *some* sense of that but the degree to which it's the case was indeed... something, whew.
November 12, 2025 at 12:10 AM
Oh yeah for sure, you're more than welcome to sling 'em over via DM. Much appreciated, thanks!

(bumped enter too soon, heh)

God, I don't think I could come up with a *parody* name for a right-wing rage bait channel name as good as "UnPontificated"
November 11, 2025 at 7:24 AM
Haha, it wasn't literally zero (the data in that tally hadn't updated yet) but it's not... not zero.

You're a peach though and I'm gonna pick yer brain about what's working and what ain't next time and hang out.

For real pal, thanks <3
November 11, 2025 at 3:54 AM
Oh no no, it's completely fine! I fully get that and it makes sense. It's not at all an issue that *some* (or even most) people feel that way. But if it's somehow become basically everyone, well, there ain't really a point of even having Early Access...
