Old Game Versions

[crazyduck33]

How can i access old Version from Prison Architect?
As example the last Version from Introversion before the first Paradox Update?

To be honest i really dont want any of this new Stuff Paradox add to the Game, i own it on Steam and hoped i could download old Version using the Paradox Service to access old Game Versions but it does not show in the List.

So as i said i own the Game already, bought it some Time ago before it was Paradox and i still want to play the Game but not one of the new versions.

You cannot, I am sorry, the Introversion versions of the game were removed form public access by them.

So you tell me now i cant use a already owned game anymore if i do not accept License Informations and allow a new Launcher to be installed on my Computer?

If yes, tell me where i can get a Refund cause i dont see any legal Reason why after a Game was sold to other Company i could be forced to accept a new License and launcher or loose access to a single player game.

Dont get me wrong its nice you want to expand and enhance the game, but i dont want and dont need DLC for this game or other Stuff i only want the regular Game i bought and still own.

So if you can´t or shoudl i better say do not want to give me access to a Version without all this Paradox Additions to the game, tell me where i can get a Refund for this Game.

Since i own it for some time Steam does not allow me to get a Refund for it anymore.

Or if you really cannot give me Access to a Intorversion version , could Introversion give me access to such a version or would that be against some Rules between Paradox and Introversion?

That is correct, yes, and is the case for any game if you do not agree with the EULA.

If yes, tell me where i can get a Refund cause i dont see any legal Reason why after a Game was sold to other Company i could be forced to accept a new License and launcher or loose access to a single player game.

Refunds can only come from where you bought the game in the first place. I very much doubt that will be possible here.

Dont get me wrong its nice you want to expand and enhance the game, but i dont want and dont need DLC for this game or other Stuff i only want the regular Game i bought and still own.

How about the free patches and free new features? Do you not want those either?

Or if you really cannot give me Access to a Intorversion version , could Introversion give me access to such a version or would that be against some Rules between Paradox and Introversion?

I am not privy to the contractual arrangement between the two parties. You are free to ask Introversion for access to the older game version; what their stance on that is I have no idea.

@Andrew: The Point is, i did accept the EULA from Introversion and i bought the Game from Steam with Introversion as Publisher so it shoudl be my Right to use this Game in the Version from Introversion if i do not want to Accept the EULA from Paradox or do not want to use a Launcher Paradox added to a Game that does not need any Launcher to work before.

And about Free Patches and Features.
If i read Steam Forums the Free Patches and Features cause tons of Bugs and Issues with the Game. But yes i do not want the Patches or Features i liked the Game as it was before.

to be honest i do not always update every Game i own cause often Patches or new Features cause more Issues or change a Game into a direction i do not like.

So it should be my Decision to stay at a Version i want and not be forced to a Version the Publisher think i should use.

Thats why i ask for a Way to access the old Intoversion Version of this Game, so i can stay with the already acceptet EULA, dont have to use a Launcher i do not want to use and can play the game i like without the New Features and Patches.

If you could offer me a Version without Launcher and without all this Patches and Features i think i could "live" with the EULA but i dont think Paradox will offer such a Version.
Most important thing for me would be no Launcher and no new Features and Patches, i dont need or want DLC content in this game cause i really do not plan to buy DLC for this Game and i also dont want or need a Game with balancing Changes for DLC stuff.

And already send a Email to Introversion Support but waiting for a answer.

And dont get me wrong , if my text possible sounds rude its not planned , not my Native Language .

Sorry, but no. Introversion's EULA is a legal agreement between you and them, nothing to do with us. We must get agreement to a new one.

We simply do not have the Introversion version. Only they do, if anyone does.

If you could offer me a Version without Launcher and without all this Patches and Features i think i could "live" with the EULA but i dont think Paradox will offer such a Version.

I'm sure that is correct.

Good luck with that.
