Game shouldn't be priced above $20 - 2k Daily Players and 69% Positive

[Onikage]

First of all, I think you need to refund 50% of anyone who paid $40 or more on Kickstarter to play earlier than July. Period.
That being said, I defended these Devs and the game during the Demos. When the first Kickstarter got delayed from January, I stopped. Then when they went back on their word about the access Backers would get, I was forced to leave their Discord by Mods when I pointed it out.

Now here we are, 2 weeks after "Official" Steam EA Release and the game has barely sold 50k copies (Including Kickstarter) and the Daily Player amount is 2k Tops... the numbers are just pathetic and your Price is exactly why. I don't mind spending $60 on a game and I've bought plenty of EA Titles for $30 but damn, the state of this game now from the Demo over a year ago is pathetic and your product is nowhere close to worth the $30 price tag.

Since the Devs will never apologize to the people who spent $100s on Kickstarter to get little prizes like having their names on stuff and getting shoutouts in the credits, allow me:

I'm SO Sorry you got tricked by the false promises of what the game was gonna be. I'm also sorry for the state this was released in and the unacceptable (even for EA) amount of bugs and issues in the game. Most of all though, I hope this is a learning experience and you know better next time that when a game's Website is as broken and stupid as theirs, followed by false promises in Dev Updates on Steam, that you do more research and be 1000% sure before you spend that kind of money.

However, I'm not sorry you spent so much because you wanted your influence/name in something barely anyone is ever gonna see. That's your own hubris.

Feel free to award Jesters and post replies trying to convince yourselves you didn't waste your money, because you sure as hell can't convince me otherwise.

Lastly, I'm COMPLETELY Serious when I say the Devs need to refund at least PART of people's Kickstarter donations at this point. You set those prices and you knew what state the game was in, you tricked people out of a lot of hard earned money and should be ashamed.

Thank god I didn't even waste $20 on the Kickstarter. Damn, just WTF Devs

I have gotten a hundred hours out of it and I'm not done playing it. There are "AAA" games that cost way more and play way less. It was absolutely worth the money.

I love the game!

[SolidSnake]

Playtime: Starfield - 44h.
The Crust (Alpha) - 68h.

I would like to get a refund for Starfield. Extremely overhyped and totally unfinished product that modders will try to improve for next 10 years (I do not use mods, so, don't care). Garbage UI, stupid econimics.

I don't like the current state of the Crust, but I expect to revisit the game year later and play another 60h or even more.

I think the price is just right and I'll be getting this on my pay day. I also can see me playing hundreds of hours if not more, just like I do with other games like this, IE Anno etc.

why is it that everytime a game comes out as EA.. some broke dude crawls out of the woodwork citing bugs and missing features of a game he doesnt own in order to dictade a Price to the developers.... u cant afford it ? just move on

[Orici Vintarion]

also if u back them via kickstarter u dont buy the game u buy into their idea and vision of a game that at that point doesnt even exist (not in an playable state) and u get a Copy of the Game as part of the pack u receive as a courtesy for backing them ....

and if they dont meet "your" requirements u surely missed the part of reading about "their" vision not yours,, demanding a refund just sounds as ridicoulus as it is

[Onikage]

See what I mean? Just delusional fanboys and people with zero standards who want to act like they didn't waste their money. Especially love the sad kids that say "Broke dude" because their brains can only handle basic concepts.
We've got people who paid $30 for Satisfactory and they're saying THIS is also worth $30 LOL not even close. Not. Even. Close.
If these people are smart they'll ignore the thread... but they bought this game and didn't refund it so....

[Orici Vintarion]

The most generic reply .... I'm not even surprised

[Yoyo]

game is great and worth every cent. The review bombs are 100% unjustified. Your opinion is just that.

[resonance]

People pay $30 for a meal that lasts half hour. People pay $30 for a movie that lasts two hours. But I get over a hundred hours for that and I am a "delusional fanboy". Nah U broke.

[spectre199]

the review bombing is completely unjustified.

[Onikage]

If someone says "If you're smart you won't reply" and then you reply...
I've unsubbed from this thread, it's gotten super pathetic now. Bad enough people are comparing the price of a game to a dinner or a movie LOL! How about compare it to GAMES that also cost $30. Like Palworld, Enshrouded, Satisfactory as EA examples. Good god that means a $100 game that has 2 hours of gameplay is worth it because a expensive steak dinner fits that criteria. Also look at the mindless parrots just squawking the same lines "Review bombing is unjustified BRWAAAAK"

Seriously. Just go play the game if it's so much fun, why are you bumping this thread and whining because someone (who doesn't even own the game) thinks it sucks? Oh right, because deep down you know it sucks too. You're trying to convince yourselves.

So keep proudly posting how many 100s of hours you've wasted on a game that will probably be abandoned in 6 months. If and ONLY IF that happens will be the only reason I'll post on this thread again.
Only the slowest of learners would reply after this post...

Now? It started that way when you made it.

So money has different values based on what it buys? Nope that is not how money works. Thirty bucks is thirty bucks no matter I spend it on. It is a matter of enjoying your purchase and I sure as hell would not spend a hundred hours on something I did not enjoy.

Seriously. Just go play the game if it's so much fun,

How tf you think I have over a hundred hours already? But hey got to take breaks sometime.

why are you bumping this thread and whining because someone (who doesn't even own the game) thinks it sucks? Oh right, because deep down you know it sucks too. You're trying to convince yourselves.

Yep that's totally it. Played all that time just to convince myself. Meanwhile, the only whining here is you, furious that anyone dare to enjoy something you don't.

If it does get abandoned, I will be a little sad, but hey I will have already got my moneys worth. As for your terrible attempts to prevent a response with pre-emptive name calling, it amounts to nothing more than a 'stupidsayswhat' comment. Childish and laughable that you believe this is some sort of got 'em tactic.

He unsubscribed so we can say it: I just sunk 50 hours in 4 days into the game. I already got my money worth it. It is very enjoyable. Thanks developers, what a great game! Why would they abandon it, they releasing patches every week or so, looks to me the only one who is abandoned is the brain of the guy that started this thread.
