Why is Saira a FREE game now?

Asking cause could not find any info.

Here is some info https://twitter.com/NicklasNygren/status/497074830370672641

Thanks for the info.

Now I feel somewhat scammed cause I bought this game earlier and had no time to play it yet. Will be useful to remember its dev + publisher for the future.

You really shouldn't feel scammed. When old games are released as free (like Red Alert for example) or abandoned it's a gift to the community. You paid for a game when it wasn't free. Obviously it had value to you at the time.

I kind of agree with you, giving away these games is making me wonder if I should pay anything more than a few dollars for any game these days.

By that token, gamesshould never go cheaper as early buyers will always loose money.

Heck Battlefield 3 went free and thats still AAA+ game.

Most people didn't even hear about this game untill now.

This is why we can't have nice things.

And yet, in your past 2 weeks, you've played a ton of other stuff. Obviously you had a lot of time. *rolls eyes*

We threw out money on the window buying a zero value thing, and you say we should not feel scammed / bad? Eh, sure.

No, you paid for something and then didn't use it. Most things lose value over time. In the future, don't buy games that you aren't ready to play right away. If you do buy a game but aren't ready to play it yet, don't ♥♥♥♥♥ and whine when the price drops.

[Jur]

vempajor, you played 123 hours playing games last 2 weeks. Which is 5,2 days, how did you found time to play it?

I wish you were capable of realizing just how ridiculous you are.

Why you buy something you are not going to use? Why you feel scammed if you decided that the product you bought deserve the money you paid for it?
I can fix it for you: "Will be useful to remember my behaviour for the future."

Exactly, I paid for it 30 euros, and I was happy to see it free because more people can join the game.

[kalirion]

I paid $2.50, and couldn't play it at the time since it ran too slowly on my laptop.

Then it got put on the backlog where it still is. Ah well.

The other day, I bought some bread, but I didn't eat it... Instead, I left it in my car for almost a week. Dunno why... Anyway, I talked to the guy who's in charge of selling the bread because it had weird colours on it. And what a [insert bad word here] he was, he refused to give me my money back!!!
