Game deleted and refunds

[AE]

Hi, Valve has told me anyone who bought the game will be able to (or maybe at this time already can) get a refund; the game is not available to purchase in Steam anymore so good luck collectors and gift holders.

Is there any way for those who would still like to purchase this game to buy a Steam key directly from you? Will the people who purchased the game from the IndieRoyale bundle and Desura still get Steam keys?

[daicon]

Could I buy a Steamkey directly from you? Doing so is OK with Valve

I would love to purchase a key of the game! Albert, can you provide keys to collectors who really badly want to own a copy?

What the others above me said, I emailed your partner already and added both of you already but I haven't gotten a response.

You still owe quite a lot of users steam keys from the Indie Royale Debut 20 Bundle your game was in, so it would at least be a nice gesture to give us what we paid for ^^

@Hal9k, @daicon: Sorry, no direct purchasing will be offered. You can still get the game in Desura, though. Anyway, for a Steam key I would recommend you posting at the exchanges discussions (if it's possible to exchange a producte which is not currently sold in Steam).

Getting deleted games off the developers is common, they did it with earth2066 and bot colony by offering people the unused keys, valve has no problem with it, they just want the store page down. If you have any keys left for this game and if there was a sane way of distributing them I think it would be a fair way to go about it, perhaps a donation to some indie dev fund or something?

Also a good point, we did already buy it technically

I am still waiting for the key from the bundle, please provide the keys.

You have shamed the "developer" tag that you wear. You couldn't even complete a simple Unreal Engine tutorial.

Put some effort into actually developing a game. The more effort you stick in the more you are rewarded. As you have seen with this instance, you did a terrible job and tried to fool people and make them believe you were a "developer" (seriously, you are an insult to ACTUAL game developers). However as you've found out...the backlash you can get from trying to sell a broken piece of trash is hilarious. As now you have this tied to your name, and this has been burned into your "developer" timeline.

Go and actually learn how to developer a proper game and you will be rewarded with people who appreciate the effort you stick into the project. For now you should just remove yourself from any game distribution company and stick to the learning phase of making a game (e.g. Follow the tutorial all the way through and not use assets from other sources).

For now this is all I give you...a slice of bread...

I have 2 gift copies of this game lol

@matt, you just made him "in-bread"

Ok, here's what we'll do: I've requested some keys (which can take some time to be delievered), if they are not delivered, end of the story, because I would have no other way to generate them. If they are obtained, I will tell that here and specify the instructions for Desura users of the game to get a Steam key. In the meanwhile I'm ignoring messages at Desura and friendship requests here.

[McKack]

Keys would be very much appreciated considering the circumstances. Hope you are able to get those keys

[Balduran di Midgard]

ok keep in touch then!

[maplesyrupghost]

Yes! I hope the indieroyale bundle purchasers get a key! That would be the best case scenario!

Appreciated, though linking to this thread as well as the previous thread posted requesting keys from the bundle would probably help convince valve to generate them, just explain that they were part of an earlier bundle promotion and they should provide enough to satisfy everyone.
