I'm not a lawyer, but decided to go over Raw Fury's publishing agreement as I would any contract. Actually very cool that they're being this transparant, that said, a few 🚩 red flags 🚩 you might want to pay attention to.
Dear gamer. We decided that we wanted to give back to the community, and take steps towards changing some stuff. Starting now, Raw Fury’s publishing agreement is available for any and all to read.
Here is the blog post regarding why we decided to do this:

Password sharing is saving billions of dollars for everyday people.
#fixedthatheadline
The password is: Don't share. Netflix, Disney+ and other streaming are hoping to discourage people from sharing their passwords without alienating subscribers. Password sharing is estimated to cost them several billion dollars a year in lost revenue.

Imagine if "not separating the art from the artist" worked in both directions, like "granted, Greg's music sucks but I listen to it anyway because he's a nice guy"

If you’re an indie dev negotiating a contract with a publisher, know that everyone after you will have to deal with the shit you let them get away with all over again. You never negotiate just for yourself. If you have leverage, use it.
