Klei Entertainment, the developer of Don't Starve, says Tencent buying a majority stake won't change a whole lot for the studio. The indie game makers will "retain full autonomy" amid the new ownership. In a post on Klei's official forum, founder and CEO Jamie Cheng confirmed the news, then reassured everyone that for the most part, everything will be business as usual. "There are some boring accounting changes that we will need to adjust to," Cheng writes. "Other than that, I will continue running the studio as before, with no changes to staffing, projects or other operations." Cheng explains

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. What am I thinking? Of course you’ve played Don’t Starve.
