Recently, Clair Obscur told another story of ex-publisher success. So far, we only know of the review success and I don’t actually know if it’s a financial success.

If it is, I can only hope it leads to some investor understanding in just how done the world is of lottery-planning in the game world; seeing one victory, and having every single publisher chase it.

They sold 1 million copies in a couple of days on top of a Game Pass deal, and their team is leaner than most. They're surely financially successful.
