Epic says it's 'looking into' it after pigeon dating sim maker says she's not received royalties in 2 years
Hato Moa, the pseudonymous creator of weird, wonderful, and warbling pigeon dating simulator Hatoful Boyfriend, has a problem. She says she's not received any royalties from the 2014 HD remake of the game ever since Epic picked up Mediatonic—the studio behind it—in 2021.
On September 29, in the wake of a wave of layoffs at Epic, Moa tweeted her condolences to affected employees hoping the «lovely talented people from Mediatonic» would «find a better place soon». This seems to have put Moa in mind of her own relationship with Epic, because she soon followed that tweet up with one remarking that she had received «no royalty payment for Hatoful Boyfriend from Epic since they acquired Mediatonic back in spring 2021,» noting that it seems unlikely «sales have been zero for two years».
