Risk of Rain 2 creators comment on Gearbox's first DLC without them: 'It's great to see new content for the game, but it's hard to see growing pains of the new team in real time'

Risk of Rain 2.

It hasn't been a good week to be a Risk of Rain fan. Gearbox released Seekers of the Storm, Risk of Rain 2's first DLC since the publisher bought the series from original developers Hopoo Games, and it's currently sitting at just 21% positive reviews on Steam.

More than the content of the DLC, the backlash has been in response to a regional pricing quirk that doubled its price in some markets, as well as PC performance issues and bugs from an accompanying update⁠—so everyone, not just DLC purchasers, were negatively affected. Now some of the game's original developers have commented on the release.
