It sucks to see a fellow dev get ripped off like this, but at least the revenge story is very satisfying. Got 'em!

Oh and their game DESOLUS has a demo and you can wishlist it to help them out:

GameDev.tv Indie Game Dev Fund - Support for Indie Devs | GameDev.tv Learn how the GameDev.tv Indie Game Dev Fund gives one-time cash boosts and extra visibility to promising indie projects and how to apply with your prototype.

Spotted from @remotegamejobs.com; GameDev.tv is offering 5 indie game devs $500 each as a sponsorship and applications close March 8th. That may be comparatively small to some, but to a lot of teams that can be a big help, and I love to see this kind of generous support.

Oh yeah I can't even imagine what Valve could fund with their billions upon billions ... probably every indie game dev I've ever talked to lol

I think about this every time I see a dev posting about how they made their entire budget back 3 hours after launch or whatever.

Cool, happy for you, now where's your dev fund?
