Next Step

So if they really want to treat people who paid for their product as "crusty socks" guess we can try the following:
I am referring of course to what one of the devs called people in their Discord: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EikEwm0-8Y

1)Report the game. This is theft after all. Yes you do not own the intellectual property but you own the product, and they just toked part of your product from you, be it a indiegogo backed up soviet announcer or literally torn pages out of the artbook.

And just to Clarify, this is not as a malicious intent this is literally you protecting your consumer rights. The way I see it, is as if you bought a car and after 10 years the manufacturer would come over, and start removing your AC, part of your paint job, bend some of your chassis and state that they are doing this cause it does not reflect the current company culture of the factory and those features they removed were made by someone they fired for harassment and if we do not support these changes we are siding with the aggressor and we are just as bad.

2)If you still want to play either see about getting an older version via rollback as in this guide I found: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3002558058 or if you have a change to buy a physical copy on Switch or maybe as I have, and older DRM free copy from Humble Bundle Trove.

3)Stop supporting this developer in any other future project and just stop caring for this game and find a better alternative. It's not worth engaging with the so called "fans" that support this act or the developers themselves. Same might go for Steam for filtering out your voice, since thankfully we live in a time where there are alternatives like Epic or GoG for example. Not saying you should stop using steam altogether, but when you see a game you want to buy, try to find it and buy it on the alternative platforms. Same with sales, GoG is actually giving alot of good free games when sales roll around and you can downlaod the DRM copy and keep it forever.

Yeah, can't support this crap anymore after all of this and especially seeing a Developer talk about its fanbase like that. Yeah.....screw these people.

Before anyone comments about me not having a say in this because of my play-time, keep in mind that I've bought this game multiple times across all platforms since the very beginning at it's original release as just "Skullgirls". I play mostly on console.

This is not theft, and the Discord messages were the developers venting about all the fake fans

[Kaibamon]

Yes it is theft, they removed pages from an artbook people paid for. They removed a voice announcer that was a backer tier on their indiegogo and they altered the game in various ways. They stole content. This is by all means theft. Instead of venting how about they listen and come up with a solution? I don't give a snuff if you are a fan or not, I as well as others paid for this product, don't treat me as a fan, treat me as a customer.

the real fake fans are folk like them, you know the ones, . . . twitter warriors

Usefull info tip:

A "fake" fan is a corporate newspeak used to gaslight customers into humbly accept questionable practices.

It is implied that if you are a "true" fan, you will be fanatically committed to the brand and be in a constant unconditional hype for any of its products.

[JaxTek]

I thought fake fans were just developers who clearly didn't like what they were working on.
Lots of games have suffered under that, particularly with the "culture war" so many people are involved with. I mean.. if you don't like the product, go work on something else..
