Well, that sounds like the beginning of the end.
These guys have it made if you ask me. They sold development for Risk of Rain 2 to Gearbox (which, turned out not so great for Risk of Rain 2, but they were done developing it themselves anyway) and probably got a decent bit of money out of that, then they partnered with Gearbox to crank out a beautiful remaster of Risk of Rain. Now they have jobs at a company that paid out about $450 million to its 336 employees in 2021. I've been following these guys since DEADBOLT, and it's nice to see them set up with cush jobs. No doubt they have leftover money from Gearbox; I'm sure these guys will set off on their own to make a passion project when the time comes.
