so after 5 days of EA you lot trow in the towl?
lol valve should ban this dev from steam I will avoid this dev from now on

[Mission001]

Agreed

I wouldnt be so annoyed if it was like $5, but $15...

it might be hard to ban these devs since they're filing for bankruptcy which will end up clearing their slate (with lots of drawbacks obviously). But even then, I wouldn't say they have to be banned.... they were kind enough to warn us that they were pulling the plug instead of just leaving in Limbo and they did make a number of stupid but not directly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moves.

Bad business decisions don't make you evil, they just make you go under. That's what happened here.
Taking a tycoon game, turning it into a time management game and expecting it to work is just not that smart. I can't even tell if the devs have the quality to make a good game. It feels like they had to release the game too early for some money to keep the doors open. But that just doesn't work when you have a game with this kind of history and in that state.

Good luck to the dev team.

I find it funny how you could say that they stopped with PGM 1 what was a good game it just had a couple of problems what needed to be fixed but instead they stopped and made the sequel gave everyone who owned pgm1 a free copy to then bring it out in EA hoping people will buy it for a insanely high price and they go under... sorry but yes I then call you out they knew before it came out of EA they would not make it so for everyone who bought it it was a pure scam nothing more nothing less

I disagree with you on almost all points.
First, I played PGM 1 for more hours then I should have before realizing that it was completely based on RNG, once I realized it, I couldn't play the game anymore. I would not in a million years call PGM 1 a good game.
Second, since they basically changed the genre, I can see how their decision to start a new project came to be. And giving out free copies to everyone who owned PGM 1, shows to me that they were convinced their product will be good. What's the point in risking bad reviews by handing out free copies to people who are already against you before you even get a chance of making a single buck.
And third, I don't think it's fair to assume when and it what state, they would have left EA with the game.
And last, if their intend by that point would have been to scam out as much money as possible and move on, I doubt they would have announced their pulling out of the project within days after their EA release. After all one of the requirements for a refund is owning the game for 14 days. They left a lot of room for people to refund the game.

good to know that milking a dead cow is just fine ok time to move on it tastes sour

They use the typical newgen dev tactic, "file in bankruptcy" which is a lie, they don't even have a company they do it from home. They are already making other never-to-be-finished games after changing the devname, so they can do this ♥♥♥♥ all over again, thinking that will reset their reputation, but on Reddit people are following them closely, they even use fake first 'real' names. As you can clearly see, 3 months after the socalled "bankruptcy" the game is still on sale on Steam for 20$/€, there is no such thing as filing in bankruptcy when you code out of your mom's basement. They even disabled the feature to review this game, while you can still buy it. Let's all report that to Steam.

Also, if you check Store page, they changed the name of the developer to some other invented random name with 0 games, so it doesn't ruin their main reputation so people keep buying their other games they released before that. But now they are already working under a 3rd dev name, with the same crew... E-Criminals.
