Clearly I talked about two opposite directions. The first paragraph is about panic. The rest is about the companies that don't act like panic. Why lump it together?

And Firewatch!
Panic is existing Mac software company, that sold (arguably, niche) software at not-that-small prices (well, usual for Mac OS ecosystem, at least in 2000s/2010s), and had a modest success being a distributor of Untitled Goose Game; and PlayDate is made in relatively small numbers; I would think they are self-funded and not backed by VCs.
