Discount.

[Calandir]

So... 1 month after release, it's on discount already? Glad I paid full price and beta tested it. Never again Hexworks. This can work only once.

I bought my steam key on sale before the game even launched lol

You made a good contribution to the game. Praise be.

It only shows that Dev's don't have respect to people who bought the game. So I won't have any towards them in future.

What did you pay? what is a good price for this game?

Full price. It isn't about ''right place'' but giving discount, nearly 40% off, month after release. Is scummy. Especially since this game came out half finished, and was acting like parasite to feedback from un-paid beta testers aka us, those who bought it day one.

Sounds like a problem between you and hexworks. Did they ever tell you that you were going to get it for free? (Or are you just seething about nothing?)

Why are you getting this ''free'' stuff? I already explained.

Then why are you complaining about paying full price for a full game (that was completely playable and beatable even before the daily patches) and what does it have to do with you beta-testing it?

Lies of P has/had a recent discount, so is LoP scummy and unfinished, too?

Look when Lies of P came out and when LOTF.
LOTF had so many issues, a lot of people couldn't finish the game due to crashes, bugs, data corruption etc.

LOTF skimped out on QA and used players that bought the game day one, to find bugs, performance issues, glitches etc. Used all that feedback, and made the game a little better. So now, they put discount to lure even more people.

Wouldn't it be... at least decent to wait 2-3 months before discounting the game? People who bought it day one got something really slimy and nasty into their mouth, with how buggy and bad the first experience was. And there is no respect for their wallet.

Alas it might be just me issue. I won't buy their future games, won't support them, and will spread the word to my friends and viewers to not support this company. Which is also the meaning of this post, don't respect people who don't respect you. Value your wallet and don't let people undeserving of support, have it.

I pre-ordered the deluxe edition and played it on day 1. I knew that this game was UE5 and expected to be left with a 70 bucks game that I couldn't even play. I did performance trouble-shooting, I didn't want to get a refund, and I was aware that in the case of failure, I had noone to blame but myself. And it paid off. Despite having to play it on the lowest graphics (still with constant stutters and lag), I got an experience that I thought was worth every cent.

People that buy games at full price are (or at least should be) aware of the possibility that the game might be bad (which is not the case here), that they won't like the game (which seems to be the case with you), that they could have technical difficulties, or that the game will go on sale after launch. Blaming the devs for you taking this risk sounds unbelievably unreasonable.

Oh no I do like the game. I've enjoyed it. Gave negative review, because state it was released wasn't something that I can recommend, still isn't. I got 100h of my fun of it. Even if it was janky and bad sometimes.

We all have janky games that we like but we can't really recommend to other people. Because they will either not like it, or the game simply won't work decently.

It's about basic rules and respect between dev's and us. Call me old or stupid but I still care about this sort of thing. Especially in gaming as it's my hobby and passion.

I simply don't respect studios that don't respect me/us. And I can't recommend something I don't respect.

There is a plaion publisher sale. I think Plaion does the console version publishing. So the game was discounted on pc to keep up with the sales on consoles so no1 would whine that "why ps5/xbox gets a sale and steam not"?. There is no conspiracy.

[ORB Aethernity]

Oh man,
I just considered the fact that it's a black friday sale and this entire post lost any meaning it ever could of had.

The reviews forced their hand i imagine, this game is still at Mixed rating which is not good at all 59% positive, in comparison Lies Of P has 91% positive. With such low ratings they had to drop prices or they would have no new customers or at least a lot less of them. They shot themselves in the foot with UE5 it's a reason why i haven't bought the game so far i've bad experience with UE4 and am fully aware of the stuttering that ♥♥♥♥ engine causes. Epic's engine is probably even worse than their damn launcher and that's an achievment alright.

That's a nice argument, senator
Why don't you back it up with a source

I don't regret paying full price, I've even bought the DLC to support the game, but I agree 34% off a month after release is a bit much. Those 20% two months after release that Lies of P did seems a bit more reasonable. Oh well.

[BigEazy]

I paid 50 bucks for the deluxe version.
