Experimental RPG developer Summer Eternal: 'We're giving away 5% of our studio to you, the Players' in order to 'mend the trust broken in this industry a thousand times over'
RPG developer Summer Eternal, co-founded by ex-ZA/UM designers, is implementing a radical governance model that gives players 5% of studio ownership and profit sharing. This initiative aims to rebuild trust in the industry by making players stakeholders in the studio's direction and investments, rather than just consumers. Their first product, 'The Summer Eternal Anthology Vol. 1,' includes essays and a preview of their upcoming game, 'Project Red Rooster.'
