My condolences to you.
Excellent question. Based on what I can gather from Red Thread's website, their games have obtained financial support from the Creative Europe Program, which is an EU backed organization. If they're getting financial backing from them, there's no doubt that they're being subsidized on the taxpayers dime. How much of that is going toward this specific studio? I can't say for certain. However, I'm sure a majority of it leans towards public funding.
This game isn't a joke because it's rubbish, it's a joke because tax payers money paid for it.
Let this be a example of stupid politics and corrupt mechanisms that invent stupid/not existing problems, divide even more people and steal money from hard working citizens.
That would be 500 x $25 = $12500
Minus the 30% that digital platforms would typically take = $8750
Minus distribution, advertising and 8 years of development costs = probably millions
I wonder if the Norwegian government saw this as a tax investment in the hopes to be paid back and take a cut of the profits, If that's the case I don't think they'll be too happy
Anyway, I don't think we'll be hearing again from this developer anytime soon
