Someone actually filed suit against GSC

[Myta]

the FTC have officially acknowledged a plaintiff who has filed suit against GSC for False advertisement and violation of anti-trust laws and it would seem that GSC will be served for their lawsuit on November 25th 2024, and will at the very least have to appear in court.
As of right now it appears this is still in a lower court, but even if a ruling is made in the plaintiff's favor it will result in 1 of 2 of the circuit court acknowledgments for grounds for a civil suit or law suit, there's no real info available on the case since there's a non-disclosure agreement in place by all parties but it would seem it's in regard to false advertisement, and if I know anything about law, and to some degree I do, I'd assume it's in regards to A-Life and the NPC operations systems that are either broken or completely missing from the title, and even data miners and modders who have tried to get it working have suggested there's missing string and tables for behaviors that were either intentionally left out of never added to begin with.

proof A-life is in the game but has been disabled. Modders who have the old A-Life source code that was re written for Anamaly/ gamma have confirmed that it's there but disabled due to conflicts caused by UE5's own AI systems.

here is a link to the WIP mod to address A-Life 2.0 issues.

also the man himself who wrote the A-Life code for Anomaly is involved but only helping until the SDK is released. He says that once it is he will completely overhaul it and possibly work on anomaly 2.

Show me the exact place where you got the information.

Right now it's just a claim from a guy whose posted on the Stalker subforums (and people who have reposted it here on Steam) aswell as on the Stalker subreddit, however if what he says is true on November 25th 2024 at 6AM CST we will be able to see the case when it reaches either the circuit court or the district court, so as of right now we have nothing but someone's word, but I can't imagine someone would go through the process of wasting time and money on making an appeal to a court if they didn't intend to follow through on it since that's actually a crime, I can try to do a follow up to get the docket number for the case but I need to figure out what municipality it's under

YMMV...

So just hearsay. Got it.

The only way you can get a refund past 2 hours is if there are technical problems that prevent the game from functioning.

For example I refunded Ready Or Not at 3 and a half hours played or so because I emailed steam and specifically described the tech issues I had with the game and went step by step over everything I have done in order to resolve those issues and out of those 3 and a half hours played, only 10 minutes were played, the rest was me troubleshooting the game.

Steam does understand situations like that, and they will refund it, I've refunded like 4 games over my time on steam like that.

That said, if you can't provide actual valid detailed reasoning why you're over the 2 hour limit and why you want to refund, they will extremely likely reject it.

"Someone actually filed suit against GSC". So fake. I don't understand why people respond to this thread. No source and not at all credible from the start.

It's good drama.

stop feeding the troll, these guys are just paid off people or attention seeking idiots who try to rile other people up for their own gain, just block the user and move on from this post.

So much a do about nothing. People seem to always fall fre the "sky is falling" routine. Google "Stalker 2, GSC and FTC" and the only things that come up are Steam and Reddit posts. Stop falling for the BS.

It's not real, he got this information from some idiot who claimed he was filing a lawsuit.

I just saw that. I wonder if there's any retro-activeness to it.

This is what you're referring to right?

A lot of people feel like this right now, not saying they are right or not, but I don't believe in opinions forming at random.

Yet you ignore the fact that many more do not feel like that. Hardly an objective or unbiased argument, even with the hollow disclaimer.

Who care? I don't. I'm buying a game here, not rallying the troops. IF you're gonna enter the market, be prepared to get judged accordingly. I expect to get what I paid for, in exactly the context as advertised. What they do outside of business is irrelevant, and this is solely about the product being sold, and the way it was advertised. Their situation doesn't give them a pass to straight up lie, falsely market, and release unfinished products. It was their CHOICE to develop and sell the game. It was their CHOICE to lie about or cut advertised features. It was their CHOICE to release it, even though it was unfinished and they knew it was in a bad state.

So, i don't see how any of that is relevant to the actual matter at hand.
