Refund?

[Foke]

Just recently bought the DLC after hearing that the game was being turned around, so I wanted to show my support. I also found it pretty enjoyable actually (at least held my attention more than an hour unlike at release). However, as the game is being put on a shelf, is it possible to get money back? I for sure wouldn't have bought the DLC if I knew the development would be stopped immediately afterwards... Just like I wouldn't have bought the game if I had known what a mess it was at release. Feels like I've been screwed over twice with this game...

- Also as a side note. Last week on the PDX podcast Daniel was talking about, how important it is for you to commit to games even though they might not initially have been very succesfull. And now this? Seems so two-faced imo.

Firstly, Daniel would have been delivering a message curated for him in all likelihood. Secondly, this is a trend I have noticed in the industry recently where they try and turn the issue into a lack of commitment by the players, rather than an issue with releasing sub-standard products. It is insidious, and cynical to an incredible degree.

It is an attempt to reconstruct the terms of transaction from, "we supply a quality product, you pay for it" to - "Unless you are willing to pay full-price or buy on release anything we choose to sell, then the problem is your lack of faith".

You have to remember that the people that run these corps/studios/publishers will say anything to relieve you of your hard earned money for as little return as they feel they can get away with - or the "Minimum viable product".

As Simon and Garfunkel put it " A pocket full of mumbles such are promises".

These are realities of the times we live in.

That's funny. There should a cartoonish MEME for that. A corporate type with a blah...blah...blah...the fanbase...blah...blah...Most valuable asset (MVP=Most Valuable Player). Then have an internal meeting discussing the Minimum viable Product (MvP).

As I've been away from gaming prior to 2016, I'd imagine this MVP/MvP thing has come up before and is one of those haha type of coincidences?

Spoiler: MVP

The game in 2.0 is very good and I am happy for what I received in echange of my money.

The future development is not included in my ticket. Maybe in the future we shall demand this by contract.
