    Don't forget H1Z1 that was a Survival game and a Battle Royal type game. Then they split the game into two free to play games that were broken. Everyone that payed during early access lost out on a great survival game and never got a refund from Sony. And eventually the Battle Royal part of the game got shut down for online gambling IRS issues.

The guy was a developer for original Rainbow Six PC games and promised too much and I paid my $14 and all I got was a decent map but enemy AI that had good awareness and shooting and shooting was just first two shots dead on, everything after that is +/-100 up and down recoil. He also gave you 10 free copies of the game to share and dipped. So now me and my buddies just passing it around like it’s a STD.

    A point to remember when talking about Steam Refunds, the 2 hour/2 week limit is only for automatic refunds. You can still reach out to Steam and they can make refunds on a case by case basis. So if you were to buy a Helldivers 2 shovelware clone and not boot it up for a couple of weeks, you could still get the refund, it just might take a few more steps and some intervention from Steam Support. It's not an end all, be all, just the automatic process vs manual intervention.

    I'm interested to hear gameranx thoughts on the upcoming "Subliminal" game. It's advertised to be a procedural horror Backrooms escape game and looks very exciting with hyperrealistic visuals and plenty of nostalgic environments, however the game has suffered multiple delays and proceeds to post the same clips with a new one once in a blue moon, leading people to think they're simply Blender renders. I need Jake and Falcon's opinions!

    Fireb0rn did a video on the Helldivers 2 doppelganger fiasco. Apparently a lot of games were attempting to do this and, IIRC, it goes a bit deeper than just "oohoo, you bought the wrong game by mistake. Don't hit the refund button." There's a lot of shady things happening in Steam's shovelware community.

  • @SciMajor1
    @SciMajor1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Maybe I'm just being too nice here but I'm leaning towards "The Day Before" as being a case where the devs were just way too ambitious and simply weren't able to create what they had hoped to create. Sure they should have simply been honest about their shortcomings but that's easy to say in hindsight.
    On the other side of the coin to me is Star Citizen. It's the only time I've ever gone the kickstarter route and thank goodness I went for the minimum. It's vapourware and they have no excuses left. From the outside at least, it seems like they've spent 90% of their MASSIVE amounts of money on trying to get more money by promising yet another in the VERY long list of new and "exciting" ships .... for an extra fee. It would be lovely if they stopped trying to get more money by making more vanity ships and actually worked on finishing that hot mess.

    Shatterline needs to be added to this list. Was in early access for 2 years selling season passes and cosmetics, then all of a sudden announced that they were removing it from steam to be added to Epic games and partnering with Faraway to introduce NFTs to the game. Then it was revealed that it was always a part of the plan to introduce NFTs to the game and the devs were using all the players in discord to beta test the game for free, and banning anyone from the discord who spoke negatively about NFTs, including staff and mods. Nothing will be carried over to Epic on the full launch of the game so any existing players will start from scratch.

    • @Unknown_Genius
      @Unknown_Genius 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This.
      People need to know about that, if they get through with that and get a somewhat good playerbase in the future we all know that other companies will just follow at least the removing it & re-selling it part.
      Worst part is that I expected Nintendo to be the first to pull something along those lines given that everything for (and including the firmware itself) the Switch is licensed on a revocable basis by just telling people to buy a new console & the games again, I'm almost willing to bet that they're watching how this case plays out really close.

      People make excuses for it because there *A* version of it that's technically playable. So they can forever move the goalposts because people are in essence paying for the developer to commit to "stretch goals". The more stretch goals they add in the interim, the LESS fiduciary incentive they have to release an actual finished product.

    When a game is so ambitious that its promises start to feel like science fiction, sometimes it's easier to believe in the dream rather than the reality. In a world where studios fight for every penny from players, it's astonishing to see projects like Star Citizen continue to raise millions despite their perpetual 'development.' This is more than just a game-it's a pure cult. But how much longer before fans start asking uncomfortable questions?
