Medieval Engineers

Keen Software House should be sued.
I've put thousands of hours into SE and 80+ into ME. Looking back, I'm just so disappointed I've even bought them now. Medieval Engineers is far from a complete game and barely playable. Both games are :DSTpoop:

Now all they're doing with Space Engineers is just releasing DLC after DLC cause they're probably almost bankrupt and can't afford to fix the dog :shit: game-engine to handle more than 20 people with heavy restrictions.

And before you say, "You got your moneys worth playing over a thousand hours." That is such a stupid argument. 1. Because a lot of the time spent in SE is spent afk waiting for :poop_narco: to process. 2. Every single time I've played/started a world on SE or ME, I've hit a ceiling where it's just UNPLAYABLE before it even gets interesting. :surprisepoop:ing on my moral, making me hope the game will be better in the future over and over when it never ever will.

KSH changed their name to Miner Wars.[rejstrik-firem.kurzy.cz]

They're thinking people will trust them AGAIN after screwing once with Miner Wars 2081 being devoid of content, after the scam of Miner Wars MMO pre-purchase, after this betrayal of lying that there were plans for ME and then bailing from it, and believing KSH can do Space Engineers 2 AND another Miner Wars at the same time (when the entire reason why ME had "low numbers" was because people waited to see if KSH Miner Wars could handle two titles in development at the same time)? :lunar2019deadpanpig:

Go to Marek Rosa's blog. See how much Good AI has taken over the company, and new mansion.

Everything said here is true. Good on you for stepping up and telling everyone. Steam really needs a place for gamers to vote for Developers to be removed from their store page, and a stronger stance on out of steam clients only aka... origin.

Until then, you can do this. That is, assuming "KSH" doesn't just make another page as their new incarnation as Miner Wars a s. I wouldn't put it past them given their history.

That page says the company was created in 2010. Whereas KSH[rejstrik-firem.kurzy.cz] was created in 2016. I doesn't look like they're misleading anyone.

And as far as GoodAI, what's wrong with Marek developing a new company? Nothing.

Will I buy another game from these people? Probably not - and that's only what any of us can do. If you've never had Steam Early Access Burn, then you haven't lived. Time to get over it.

The entity you linked to changed from Engineer Games to KSH - AT THE SAME TIME - as the entity I linked to changed from KSH to Miner Wars.

You really only further proved my point with that.

Furthermore, while we're looking at the dates, consider that SE was first put into Early Access in 2013 and ME in 2015.

And as far as GoodAI, what's wrong with Marek developing a new company? Nothing.

The entire reason why game development went downhill was because an also-ran AI company took over money and resources from the game dev company, notably the oversight by the company's management.

I am quite familiar with the scams around Early Access, and making weak excuses for it only allows worse to be normalized. We gave KSH Miner Wars another chance and this is what they did with it.

The point is, in context to this discussion, which company in the shifty name game would be taken to court, as doesn't the name change look intentional to muddy the waters?

Does anyone here know of another game similar to ME? I have given up on ME but I really like the medieval theme.

Mount & blade II: Bannerlord god-tier game.
Bannerlord is not about building structures. I would suggest looking at projects like 'Kingdoms' or 'Rising World' (which is expecting a game engine change some time).

Well there is Kingdoms but that developer has his own set of problems with his game. Wouldn´t recommend the game yet but good for keeping an eye on.

You noticed how often he is adding content and updating recently? This project definitely deserves being supported. Your "would not recommend the game yet" meanwhile looks like a "Keep off" sign which it definitely does not require, not for this price, not for the content, and not for the attentive hardworking dev.
Hi, I have sent Steam a message a while ago regarding World of Castles and Medieval Engineers, both games are so very similar in style and situation its Déjà vu. I have mentioned that i feel Steam needs to look into certain early access companies and there business practices on its platform.

Generally valve are very hands off with developers and even in regards to moderation of developer forums. They should look at curation, especially when games like after reset are still a tech demo after about 5 years, and still being sold for 30 quid, but they won't.

As to the OP, despite my issues with the company, suing them is not the right move, as nothing they have done is illegal. There are issues, but you will never link any dodgy goings on back to them.

Valve frequently need to be reminded that they set rules and declared the intended purpose for Early Access.
