Revenge of the Savage Planet director isn't happy with the sequel's revenue, despite it bringing in millions of players on Xbox Game Pass: 'If you give stuff for free, what you've done is told people not to pay for it'

Revenge of the Savage Planet.

Revenge of the Savage Planet was generally well-received when it released back in May this year, accruing a Very Positive Steam rating and a respectable score of 81% in our Revenge of the Savage Planet Review. But according to its creative director Alex Hutchinson, the comedic cooperative adventure hasn't made all that much money, despite over a million people playing it across PC, console, and services like Game Pass.

In fact, one might argue that the last sentence should read 'because' rather than 'despite'. Hutchinson certainly reckons that Game Pass is part of the problem. Speaking to FRVR, Hutchinson explained that although Microsoft's service exposed Revenge of the Savage Planet to hordes of new players, this didn't convert into cold, hard cash for developer Raccoon Logic.
