so there is no point in putting their games on a wish list.
No, I do not post false messages on steam.
Now look at staion cleaner game. also through you and yes
again COMMING Soon. and in the forum you say that you do not know when you will be selling the game.
so there must be an actual end 2019 and not comming soon.
every game you spend, you'll be coming soon, so that the game will be on the front page.
And to tempt gamers to put the game in their favorite.
so that in 6 months a 3 years you can estimate how much you can sell via steam.
If the number is too low, you wait with the release of the game.
after all, you must earn back the costs you have incurred for the game.
You do this as a publisher.
I have nothing against the games they are often good and fun.
the only objection that I find is that coming soon is between 1 and 3 months max. not 3 years or longer.
I also understand your reason for this.
but I personally feel that coming soon is being abused.
and I also know that you are going to delete this message as you have done with that submarine game that has now been on coming soon for more than 3 years
In fact, you are right. We do estiate sell numbers via steam, as every publisher does, but we do not wait with releases, believe me.
Almost each of our games is created by a different developers. We often support small teams of professionals who want to create games with financial founds, assets and promotion. They give us an idea, we give them time. Once we get some insight into the production and a trailer - we start to create steam accounts for these titles. It is hard to estimate when the game will be released though. We set dates when we expect them to be finished, but devs are usually not able to finish games on the date we set. In this games, games are listed as 'coming soon'. It is a part of a marketing campaign as well, obviously people have to know about the game before the release to buy it.
Often we get dates from developers as well, in this case - we post them on Steam. We are more carefoul about these recently though, as it became a popular trend to not keep these dates as well by developers, and we were forced to delay games and deal with the negative feedback.
Summarizing - we release games once we have them and they pass our QA tests. But often - it is hard to estimate the release date, that's why many of our titles is listed as 'Coming Soon'.
Thank you for your response, and your answer is as I already expected.
I hope you do not keep the game on comming too long.
it could damage your name in the long run.
And indeed we should not have the same problem as when car machanic Sim 2018 came out on steam.
that was a nice textbook example of how it should not go.
So I understand that you use more time for the fact that you are spending the games on steam.
I will not go complaining about comming soon.
I just hope that you also inform the players so you inform your customers honestly about the launch period.
in the forum of the game.
you do not have to set hard times, but quarter and year will still be possible exceptions are always possible.
you can washing my car :)
