Don't buy this literal scam.
The developers literally scammed users on multiple levels.

Advertising steam release then switching to epic

Offering refunds only if you use a sketchy third party service that required you A) gave them your bank account information, and B) took their fee directly from the refunded amount, I think it was 11%. (which I'm pretty sure is illegal in many municipalities)

Anyone who wasn't willing to give out their bank account information to a random third party company (who could potentially then turn around and sell it or use it for their own purposes) had to wait an entire year, and then recieved the same product as other people literally paying half the price due to the 50% sale. Let me repeat, I had to pay double the current price to get the same game at the same time.

Never supporting an indie dev again, at least with scam sites like fig / kickstarter.

I'm pretty sure that I'll get $24 worth of entertainment out of it.

Epic worshippers crying in steam forums? Haha
Years later and this piece of crap shop still lacks the most basic features. We told you...

I bought my copy on GMG. i got it for 18 GBP. i think i had added discount because i bought games from there recently.

Welp, I get to try the first release versions on epic. Was irritated as well, that they gone to epic, but the game was basically an open beta for a year, so what damage is done? As I expected they polished some things over a year of beta test (I played it for like 20 hours and that's it) and hopefully polish it more now.

I backed way back when on fig (I suppose it was 25$, can't recall now), so I got a season pass for free and that's roughly double the base game price, plus I got it on epic AND steam as of now, since I just recieved a key.

I really don't see the damage of epic deal. It would be so much worse for them to release with what they had a year ago on more popular platform that steam is.

Man, you're either one of the devs, or an Epic shill. Shouldn't you be enjoying this mediocre scam of a game, vs spending all your free time defending these garbage devs?

Your burning need to hate a game is rather sad. It's a decent game, if you don't want it don't buy it.

You will, I don't know I would go full price but for what it's at now I would consider it worthwhile.

Go start your own thread stating why you support scammers, why you support exclusivity on PC. Let's see how far you get with that BS :steamfacepalm:

Going to go ahead and purchase this game soon on Steam to show my support, don't dictate and tell people what they can and can't do with their money.
