I can't think of anything they released that I was interested in, at least not since the 8bit console era, so it may not be for me, bit having more content only helps the paltform, so I am all for it.

There is another notable publisher... ok notable is pushing it. They haven't actually released anything but garnered like 200 million plus in sales... Yes... I'm talking about Cloud Imperium Games.
