I’m all in favor of the author getting more, especially HG authors. They carry the whole project on their backs. As to how much is fair, I should abstain myself.
Changing the direction of the conversation a little, my suggestions to the company:
- Overhaul the website and the apps to look a little more modern.
- Allow to rate games in the omnibus app before you finish them. I usually finish all games, but every once in a while I buy a game that I just can’t finish. Either it didn’t jive with me, or I found it too boring, or I feel it’s not what was promised in the premise, or I feel like the quality has dropped after the initial demo chapters… Whatever it is. I’d still like to review the game but currently, you can only review it at the very end, and people who go all the way to the end are less likely to leave poor reviews. More than once I was misguided by the rating displayed inside the app.
- Change the icon for HG omnibus app. It currently looks amateurish (and has been for a long time now). What I don’t understand is that HG has its own logo. It seems like the CoG is purposely trying to make HG look worse. I’m not throwing accusations, I’m just saying that it looks at the very least sloppy. (Also, I like things neat and it triggers me a little that it’s the only odd one.)
