Deprecation, loss, etc. Standard for every company. Is this supposed to be an own or something?

We've been deeply involved with the Godot community since we started 3 years ago. It wouldn't be right to just write a text post. That'd be too flippant and I think it does right by the community to give more of an in-depth explanation.

I've been pulling some all nighters for getting our V2 across the line :) Size-wise, we had over 20 developers working on it at one point and we raised over $2.3M to build on Godot, so I do believe it's one of the largest by team size. https://venturebeat.com/games/the-mirror-raises-2-3m-pre-see...
