Cheng continued to discuss why this decision was made and, among other things, how it will help Klei Entertainment continue to do what it does best - "making unique experiences that no one else can." "Klei has been around for 15 years, and we have made many changes over the years in order to respond to a changing world," Cheng wrote.
