Report this for Fraud.
I suggest everyone report this for Fraud. I included this text in my report:

"This fraudulent developer abandoned the game, and still has it on Steam. This was abandoned long ago, unfinished forever. Ban this studio and force their refund of every customer."

Do you know that he didn't, say, go through a personal tragedy?

************the new company details
https://www.bizdb.co.uk/company/games-foundry-limited-06790237/**************

Asterix's added by me to make a point

Look at the *owner* and *secretary* names - 100% scam... especially the way it was written >>>

**This particular Hawkesmith Limited company has been offering its services for at least twelve years, as it's been founded in 2009. Registered under the number 06790237, Hawkesmith was set up as a Private Limited Company with office in International House, Kensington SW7 4EF. The business name of the company was replaced in the year 2018 to Hawkesmith Limited. This enterprise previous name was Games Foundry. The company's principal business activity number is 62011 - Ready-made interactive leisure and entertainment software development. 2019/12/31 is the last time company accounts were reported................**

NOT A SINGLE OFFICIAL PLC/LTD IN THE UK WRITES THIS WAY!!!!! - I am a brit and i can only report them if... 25k others join me....

**in the UK... creating a PLC literally means non-profit/charity/owners do not recieve any cash and it goes directly to the government = THE OWNER has NO RIGHTS... NO OBLIGATIONS... CANNOT BE SUED... (and who would even be able to sue the government?)

***Which is why companies like this are ALWAYS safe... because they don't even have that many pruchasers/players***

BUUUUUUUT... every single one of us CAN report steam for allowing the FRAUD to continue ;) and actually we can LEGALLY SHUT STEAM DOWN for this and the other scam and con games they CONTINUE to sell on this platform (NOT TO MENTION... ILLEGAL RA.....PE..... MURDER.... and PO.............RN GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Besides... SIMON D. Ickhead has an out!

So he will laugh until the day he dies about comments like ours

Also PLC's are an escape clause, because no *non-profit/charity* organization in the UK can be sued - because it goes direct to government... and who would Sue the government successfully? - But because the way the above is written (with all the typo's) you can and do have the right to FLAG it to the authorities

go ahead STEAM ♥♥♥♥ HEADS AT HQ SITTING IN YOUR CASH BATHS... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BAN ME AND PROVE ME RIGHT!

**screen shot made In case you do actually ban me and remove this page/comment... ;) you guys are soooooo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screwed (talking to you STEAM) becuase guess what i am sitting on right now... at least 30 instances of scam/ra....pe... muder and po....rn game screenshots ;) **

**the inconsistencies in my previous reply above are due to my extream rage... so to clear things up...**

You can only report a company in the UK (depending on what they sell/service they perform) if you have a minimum of 25k signees... HOWEVER... because it is listed as a PLC... NOTHING can be done whatsoever... HOWEVER... because it is obviously written by someone who does not know how to write / is not in an official capacity (you can tell by reading context and lack of punctuation and the typos) you can... FLAG it (ONLY) as SUSPICIOUS

**to report steam as the PARENT company (which it is because it SELLS for them and others like them) you need something ridiculous - i think its something like +++++ 250k people... to report them before anything can be THOUGHT about being done

Good luck with that. Early access devs are not beholden to anyone to actually finish the game.
This is why Early Access games have such a bad reputation. Often abandoned.

I'm shocked its still on the store...been complaining for years about it.

i am sure you mean this post specifically... where he basically says (read between the lines) **you aint getting ♥♥♥♥ because you aint paying me enough so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deal with it or move on!**

but then in fairness (not to him ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... but generally speaking) every developer has an unwritten right to say this

Blame Valve. I certainly blame Valve. This is their storefront and responsibility.

Yet, when fast food workers want more money, "YoU dOnT dEsErVe It"

Everyone wants more money, and I don't feel sorry for this well-off sod. Poor him, he didn't make enough money for his unfinished game that sat in Alpha for 8 years.
