The first link I don't trust anything said when its stated the discovery was found by Kotaku a known joke of a gaming news site for how hyper political and BS they have been for ages thus when I read the lines '''However, a recent investigation by Kotaku has revealed some troubling issues at the company. Kotaku has spoken to several former staff and partners and has heard tales of racism, ghosting and exploitation of employees – as well as questionable business practices when it comes to working with indie developers.'' I have to extremely doubt the claims when it was from Kotaku supposedly investing and findings as Kotaku has also twisted facts and interviews and make sure to question people in such a way to get the answers they want even when not truly what was meant..by the ones answering

Do you want the DMs of Tyrone using incredibly colourful language?

Or just further evidence?

I don't know what news source would satisfy people like you, as for all I know, you only take the word of RT or some crazy rag like Epoch Times as golden.

Who or what is RT? For that matter I don't think I ever heard of '''Epoch Times '' at all

Also my problem is with how much Kotaku has shown in the past to twist facts and get political regularly where it doesn't fit and they even has said to pirate new games in articles rather then buy em.. They even had in articles hated on games for the games not getting political and them getting caught in lies and even some staff caught for plagiarism fully .. They also was caught in the past making up stuff about people and companies they didn't like.. Thus when its Kotaku which finds via investigations I highly doubt anything and everything Kotaku claims to have discovered.. Its not that I couldn't believe such things I just don't trust Kotaku for reasons I mentioned in this reply and the last one.. Thats it

Edited in whatever the case this isn't to discuss Kotaku but rather Nicalis and related topics mainly

yep i wouldnt trust kotaku at all , it is clearly a biased political propaganda site

As if "Nicalis stole Cave Story IP rights" subject wasn't enough, Ittle Dew 2 creator claimed that, 1 year after partnership ended, they tried to re-publish his game on a console behind his back: https://twitter.com/reallyjoel/status/1238431974039093248

What an unacceptable behavior of this company!

Look, I was really happy for these games finally appearing here on GOG, but I'm beginning to question myself if they did the right thing. It just feels wrong.

I feel relieved Ittle Dew 2 is free from Nicalis. And Binding of Isaac's creator already stated he won't do business again with them in the future due to their behavior. Just wish Cave Story rights goes back to Studio Pixel one day!

Thanks for the freebie!

I've seen no evidence Cave Story was "stolen" from Pixel. He seems to be on good terms with Nicalis. Post proof or retract.

Same..Ill just forget their games.

Thank you kindly.

GOG deciding to please China by taking down Devotion just because dictator Xi Jinping is being cursed in it, but now decided to close their eyes for the bad Nicalis has been doing for several other game companies. This is just sad.

Ittle Dew 2 is finally free from them, creator said, but GOG refused it here in the store, so we're stuck only with Ittle Dew 1. Funny, uh?

Binding of Isaac Repentance DLC is the last partnership between McMillen and Nicalis, then it will be published independently in the near future too. GOG already waited a decade for it, why just not waiting a little longer?

Oh god what ???!! Pitiful it is.

That's why it's absent on Steam, GOG and any other game platform. It's only available on their official website: https://shop.redcandlegames.com/games/devotion
