Migrated 99% of IMPRESS off AWS this week.
It wasn't affected by the us-east-1 outage or anything, I'd just ran out of credits and it was costing ~£1000/month which would have sunk me.
I tried to do it bit-by-bit but data-transfer fees kicked in and made it worse. 😂

Data science time!
Most games heading into #SteamNextFest have between 10 and 100 followers. That's like between ~50 (low estimate) and ~1500 (high estimate) wishlists.
But you probably know that already. Anything you want to see?

If you're an #indiedev and you don't feel your game is quite ready, you still have a few hours left to back out!
You only get ONE SHOT at this!!
