DO NOT BUY!
The servers are down!
This game is dead for good this time!
The devs went bankrupt, even their website is down!
They have the audacity to keep the game up for sale on Steam!
Do not fall for this scam!

DarkMachine, I watched that same video. I knew this was a scam when it launched but didn't knew the devs went bankrupt while still selling the game on Steam.

Steam are STILL selling this game, I put in for a refund and they quoted their policy cr@p refusing to refund me for a game they sold. Nearly £24 for this game this is a shambles

Steam doesn't care, they got their cut and if the game sold is a scam as far as they are concerned they don't give a ♥♥♥♥. I learned this lesson the hard way too, that is why I will never buy an Early Access game ever again!
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me thrice...♥♥♥♥!!!

Strange on store page it now say single player. I know it was "MMO"

So:
If you can't play offline. "single player"
if you can't host/rent server.
If there is no official server to play this game.

Then, this game shouldn't be listed visible on the store to those who didn't purchase and there should be no option at all to sell this game until atleast one of the 3 thing I listed above is fixed.

So if its true, those who buy that game needs to report it as a broken product as fast as possible so it get removed from steam store. As those who didnt bought the game cant confirm it. Only those who buy it can.

This is why I stay away of game that doesn't allow me to make my own server or single player.

lol Like steam cares about scammed customers!!
If that's a joke: well played!
If not: steam only cares about their cut as long as they get paid they couldn't care less if you can play the game or not, they are the middle man and as long as they are doing their part by making the game download available to player they are just fine!

What I want to know is since the game is dead, and yet still for sale, where is the money going?
Sure, be angry at the devs, but let that subside. People fail sometimes.
Be angry at Steam because they need to monitor things like this and aren't. Are they taking the money?

The money goes like this:
Steam : 30%
Publisher : 70%
Since they went bankrupt those money will be held by a bank I think so if you don't refund while you can you will never see those money again.

Sad thing is this game was gifted to me. I had other games to play so I set this aside with the idea that the game would be getting a lot of updates being in early access. Never got to play it and it's beyond Steam's allowed time frame.

The sad thing is you should never give/receive gifts of early access games, just by buying them yourself you take some risks the game will never see the light of day!

Most of the games I have were purchased during early access and a good number of them are still in early access. I've gifted several different titles myself. I enjoy supporting the developers of games that I think will be bigger one day. Some have been in early access for years and I've watched those games grow. This one game being thrown away doesn't really bother me that much, although it is sad. You can't be right about all of them. I didn't expect to be able to be reimbursed for it, but like I said, it bothers me that Steam is just letting it happen to this day.
