To be quite honest, this doesn’t sound like a win for anyone but yourselves. You can’t just sugar coat the situation by then attempting to mitigate it saying “we’re opening up a marketplace” - you bend your own ideology just to satisfy a sound designer who clearly has no care for the platform. It looks to me as if this was your scapegoat to a potential legal battle with Tommy - in which this is a way to compensate him for his minor work: a lot of games actually change the “Oof!” sound.
How do you think any of this is smart:
Well hey, you may not get our money but at least you made a T-Shirt with the guy containing oof on it which totally hasn’t existed for years…
A disappointing joke
