Ooblets is the brainchild of the development studio Glumberland, under the leadership of Ben Wasser and Rebecca Cordingley. Upon the game’s announcement, prospective fans were impressed by its amalgamation of gameplay elements from Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing and Pokemon. The cute and colourful animated style was also praised by many early admirers.
Much like the games that make up its inspiration, Ooblets revolves around building a house, farming, character customisation and interacting with other NPC’s in the game’s world. There is also the opportunity to catch the eponymous little critters inhabiting the town, and taking them to battle against other Ooblet trainers.
Indeed, the game received immense community backlash after announcing that it would only be an Epic Store release. This announcement came during the height of Epic Games’s 2019 campaign of securing a number of third-party release exclusivity rights. Many felt that the situation was only made worse by the developers’ open letter response to the community, in which they explained their decision to move to the Epic Story.

Ooblets is planned to release for PC and Xbox One.

Pieter hails all the way from the tip of southern Africa and suffers from serious PC technophilia. Therapists say it is incurable. Now he has to remind himself constantly that gaming doesn’t count as a religion even if DRM is the devil. Thankfully, writing reviews sometimes helps with the worst symptoms.
Ah yes, the geniuses that mocked their customers over the EGS backlash they received. Oh yeah, definitely supporting these good folk…
The man babies felt insulted.. which is a key part of being a man baby. Getting triggered and lash out over stupid sh*t.
“The man babies”
men babies, which still doesnt make any sense, how is one a man and a baby?
“Getting triggered and lash out over stupid sh*t.”

Possibly the most cancerous indie dev team I’ve ever had the misfortune to hear of.
and of course their game looks like a cal arts hipster poster
These idiot developers announced their EGS exclusivity in the most condescending way possible, then invited the internet to join their Discord server to discuss how they felt about it, expecting a warm and fuzzy reaction.

Didnt they insult their kickstarter backers in discord? Not so “wholesome” after all.
Oh hey, I remember this dumpster fire.
Here’s a refresher:

How can we forget this “wholesome” game and its “wholesome” developer. Replace “wholesome” with a special 4+3 letter word.
Yet another one to pick up via your favourite torrent site, since Epic has already paid for you.
Epic, make piracy great again.
YT comments are off and so are the like/dislike counters.
…or just don’t play their games.
Why would you do that? The problem is Epic’s exclusivity, not the games. The only message that not playing their games would send was that we didn’t want to play games.
Oh the leftist commie twats who thought that Epic money would last for very long so they don’t need paying gamers anymore.
