    "what funding?"is a dumb question. all companies have funding. especially software. very few companies legit started in a basement and progressed to international status relying purely on profit and loss sheets.

      It is not when replying to the comment. There was no funding for being a dnd game. They are simply lying for their point.

        You ain’t wrong but why so smug?

        Learn some tact if you are actually looking to educate people
