Why is Limited Run Games publishing this on Steam?

[Mark]

Wasn't this kickstarted at one point? Why go for a publisher much less one so controversial?

[Kirbys_Dreamland]

probably because Limited Run wants to make money publishing the game

No ♥♥♥♥.

A lot.

Can you... explain more? Or add me as a friend and DM me if you don't want to post it in the forums?

There's a few good YT videos about it

Trying to avoid youtube recently, but I did a quick search and found out. For those wondering, it's because they were accused of using CD-Rs for physical releases, having bad customer service, and firing a community manager who was making right-wing comments that some people considered discriminatory.

The customer service thing is the only one that would give me pause, so I'll keep this wishlisted for now.

The comment in question: "that new Harry Potter game looks cool."

Hah really? Geez.

In any case, I'm still keeping an eye on this game.

There's more too it like how they fired said CM for liking the Harry Potter games, their poor quality of physical releases, how they NEVER release games on time, among other things. In short they're just a bad company filled with bad people.

Here's an article on the subject written by one of the co-founders on why LRG is an unethical company:
