The limits of this page
- It is a store-page comparison, not an assessment of either studio. This page documents neither game’s development history, and draws no conclusions about how either came to be.
- It is not a mechanics comparison. That would mean playing both to the same depth, and we have not; a comparison built out of marketing blurbs would read like one that had.
- It is not a recommendation. Both games carry the same Steam label off very different sample sizes, and that is as far as the published figures go.
