What Can You Do About It?

[D.A.R.K.]

Step 01: Change your review to negative.
Step 02: Ask for a refund.

Even if you already out of the 2-hour/2-week period, too many refunds requests will alert Valve about some issues with the game, and force Valve's hand about it. Review Bomb (AKA Negative Reviews) would do even better, if the game reaches 85% negative reviews will alert Valve about an issue, and Valve will be forced to send an ultimatum to AGS.

At this situation, there are two results: Or AGS do something about the huge amount of refund issued and negative reviews, or Valve will do it, and what Valve does in this situation is simple: Or open Refund to everyone independently from the 2-hours/2-weeks rules, or force refund everyone.

So... Get your popcorn bacon flavor, get your soda soda-flavor, and change your review to negative, and ask for a refund, show Valve AGS is ScAmazoning us after paying for the game and removing it from Steam and closing servers.

Edit:
VERY NICE, PEOPLE, KEEP COMING!

RECENT REVIEWS: Overwhelmingly Negative (2,298)
ALL REVIEWS: Mixed (236,903)

"13% of the 2,365 user reviews in the last 30 days are positive."

This will alert Valve, Valve will give an ultimatum to AGS, AGS will make a new announce (up to the next week about this update), or next week we'll have a force refund or option to refund.

Oh, by the way, I'm from Brazil, and what they are doing with New World: Aeternum is called "venda casada" which is ILLEGAL. Here in Brazil you can't force me to buy something in order to buy another thing, if you don't give me the option to buy separately, you are doing an illegal action of venda casada.

So are they officially sticking it to everyone that bought the original game? Another game called wayfinder just pulled the same stunt. All the money spent on weapon skins down the drain

Yeah, if I'm not wrong, Wayfinder will turn the game 100% Single-Player and Online Coop removing completely the MMO part of the game, or the PvP part of the same, something like that, I'm don't remember for sure.

It's easy to understand:
New World will be removed from Steam Store and servers will be shut down.
New World: Aeternum (a brand new game) will be added on Steam Store.
If you have New World's DLC you'll receive NWA for free.
If you don't have New World's DLC you'll have to buy NWA.

No, it's another game, it isn't an MMO it's an ARPG.
Even under the same name, it's another thing, another entry on Steam.
You can see all that on their official website:
https://www.newworld.com/en-us/

It's over, THIS game is over, it will cease to exist in Oct when the new game release. That's why people should Review bomb, we need to change that as fast as possible. Or Amazon Game Studios will give our money back OR it will give the new game for ALL who bought New World, not only the DLC.

If this is in fact true, this might be grounds for a class action lawsuit. I know a lot of people that put money into all those weapon and armor skins.

I'm surprised it stayed above 70% this long

[Dahkoht Lewin]

100% deserves a negative review , they've chosen to screw over the PC players who bought it originally by fundamentally changing the game to try and get console players fooled into buying the game

[GMdoghunter]

100% Negative review,they basically bring out all those stupid skins and cash shop goodies,thank goodness i never spent a penny on any of that.
They are basically throwing all the PC Players in the trashcan and bringing out an entirely different game.
When they shut the official forums down that was the first sign of a red flag.
Game has been in its demise for months now.
Playerbase is bleeding away at an alarming rate,honestly how can they substain 5k+ players and the cost of running the servers.
Then they try to start onthe console players,which will more than likely end up in the same Milking Trap they have done with the PC Players.
Don't trust AGS.
We should all be refunded in full for this,not providing us with a so-called free upgrade when considering you need to have purchased the game and the angry earth dlc .
Not a free upgrade in terms we are actually paying for it.
It's not an mmo either now-they are turnign it into an ARPG.
Waste of money-best thing we can all do is uninstall this and negative review it.
Maybe Valve will listen and act on it and refund us pc Players for all the hell theyve put us through.

There is literally nothing in terms of gameplay that is changing. You can call it whatever you like but the game still plays like an mmo so it is an mmo... Theyve been calling it an action rpg for a long time btw.
There is a HUGE misconception that this is a different game or its seperate. Its literally just an update... it just happens to overhaul a lot of things to improve the game.

Oh wow you're going nuts with this article by someone who is also confused by the update yesterday. Its staying as an MMO buddy, nothing is actually changing with the game apart from making it more solo friendly. It is still an MMO. The update yesterday was just badly phrased by Amazon for marketing purposes to lure more players in as an ARPG is apparently more attractive to console players.

I understand the frustration as I had the same opinions thinking the exact same as you and I still do find frustration about some things but it is actually staying as an MMO and not too much is changing and actually they are adding more content for when the update arrives. If you read and look. Thats all, i'm not trying to be aggressive just trying to give factual information and stop this spread of false info. Not your fault though as Amazon were crap at that with the dev update.

The main issue is yes people will have to buy Angry earth to access the new update in October. You will still be able to play the game even if you haven't if you haven't bought Angry earth.

God theres so much misinformation in this thread

"Greetings Adventurers,
In the coming weeks you will learn much more about New World: Aeternum. Players who have already purchased the New World base game and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion will receive a free update on Oct. 15 when New World: Aeternum launches.

This free update will bring these players up to date with all of the new content in New World: Aeternum. Players that purchased the New World base game but have not gotten the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion will need to purchase the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion to get access to all of the content in New World: Aeternum but will still have access to everything in the base game. This means if you are playing or have played New World in the past you will not lose anything.

We are excited to share more about the new things you'll experience in New World: Aeternum when it launches, including a fully revamped storytelling approach with enhanced dialogue, in-game cinematics and pre-rendered scenes, the first-ever large-scale PvP zone, a challenging 10-player raid, new end-game solo trials, and more. With New World: Aeternum we want to continue to expand the choices players have in how they play New World to now include the option of more solo content.

We understand there is some confusion today around if New World: Aeternum will feel like the same genre of game as the New World you are playing today, and the answer is yes. New World has never fit perfectly into any label but the New World: Aeternum you will play in October will feel like the same genre of game as the New World you are playing today with lots of improvements, polish, and the opportunity to play with your friends who may be on Playstation, Xbox, or PC."
