It either ended in a closure or a company sale, and in both cases donators got nothing but sour taste, sometimes not even a thank you. I'm not telling anyone not to do that, just sharing my experience.

I played the demo when it was called The Settlings, wondering if they will manage to fend off copyright claims (iirc the store description explicitly mentioned The Settlers and Lemmings)...
