Do you have any understanding as to the arcane machinations that led to McPixel being first? RPS: Hmmmm.most QA departments I know hate babies' butts and literate old men. And that's before the game even starts! And then. You launch the game, and there's a Brain Damage warning, then there's a guy pissing on dynamite and he blows up, then a giant rock falls onto him crushing him, then he assaults an old man reading a book and kicks a baby in the butt. At some point I realised that McPixel would have never made it through Valve's QA process, or any QA process at all. Sosowski: Haha, well, perhaps not as much being the first, as getting on Steam at all! It is a great achievement for every indie developer! After several failed attempts of submitting to Steam by pitching the game directly to Valve, I saw the Greenlight announcement, and thought 'This! This is just perfect!'. RPS: Is being the first game processed through Steam Greenlight the most important event of your life? Primed and ready, I sent a list of very important and serious questions to Sos Sosowski about being the Armstrong of indies: the first man on Greenlight. I didn't go to Fantastic Arcade but I did wake up at 7.30 this morning, endure the difficult commute from my bed to my computer and put on my Serious Journalist Hat. There's a feature about the indies and Steam coming later, courtesy of Nathan who has been visiting Fantastic Arcade where he was witness to a Valve panel all about Greenlight. You might be wondering what happened to McPixel 2? Lucky for you, we were in the same boat, but you didn’t miss anything and the latest entry is big enough that they just decided to skip the second entry altogether.McPixel has exploded onto Steam and is the first game to reach Valve's storefront through the Greenlight process. Now, with the backing of Digital Devolver, McPixel 3 is on its way. And if you like it, throw some coins in my general direction. So today, you can download a torrent of my game. I am most happy just to see people enjoy them. And even though I make games for a living. I know that not everyone can afford entertainment. So instead of discouraging people to download the game illegally, Sos encouraged it.

After the game’s release, Sos Sosowski, the developer behind the game, found out that people were torrenting the game on Pirate Bay. The game is hilarious and has had an interesting history, to say the least. The first McPixel was released in 2012, and picked up a lot of traction after the YouTube star, Pewdiepie, decided to do a Let’s Play. Sos Sosowski and Devolver Digital are proud to announce that McPixel 2 McPixel 3 is coming to PC and other platforms later this year.
