Hytale is not an entrepreneur's project; it's a game dev project. Profits mean you can weather the bad times and make future investments without needing loans or investors' money that takes control over the years. Or worse for the players, go IPO. In the gaming industry, it's critical. Look at great games out there like Stardew and others, fantastic profitable businesses, no corporate crap getting in the way for the sake of the "entrepreneurial mindset" that you are talking about here. I would rather have a profitable company with a good game and team than a high-rev, 3000+-person company that is always burning cash and min/maxing everything, at the expense of players.

All Hytale usernames are now LOCKED! As long as you paid for the game and the username doesn't violate basic rules, such as profanity or use to actively extort/impersonate/sell. And to be clear about impersonation, as in, literally going around pretending to be another person for the purpose of entertainment or fraud. If a random celebrity happens to have the same username, you are fine. There are too many YouTubers globally to keep track of. If a YouTuber or streamer wants a specific username that is already taken, they cannot claim it. We may email the original user to request it; if they don't respond or decline, they keep their username.

Another Hytale mod from the team! I think this one needs to be part of the game! I swear at this point they are just pitching ideas in form of mods 😅

Wishing everyone a very happy holidays from the Hytale team! ❄️✨
