Why did they have to agree the Refunds policy with Epic Games?

That just makes it more clear that they were just selling their backers to Epic and that they had to talk with Epic as their part of the contract (people that would go to their store) was changed.

Refund it is so I can wash my hands of this whole mess, thanks. Physical copies having just the EGS launcher sure is something all right...

 

[spman2099]

Yeah, that seems like a very good solution. They aren't taking the money and running, they are trying to accommodate people as best as they can. No one is being cheated (the most important part).

Yeah I just gotta wait an extra year despite being part of the group responsible for getting the game funded in the first place. Nothing shitty or sleezy about this.

Gotta say Epic is a really cool guy giving all these shitty exclusivity deals and then immediately casting the studios that take it under the bus

Yeah, it's baffling how they choked on that physical PC version. Wasn't it supposed to have the full game on discs? Like, without DRM and all that? If yes, people definitely should ask for refund because that's downright scam.

I´m not a backer, but if I were one, I would get the refund, what happens if the game bombs and Ysnet folds? No body will get a Steam Key one year later.

Well, you can remove yourself from that and get your money back. Absolutely no loss from you. What's the problem?

 

[Sumio Mondo]

I'm very surprised and impressed that refunds are an option. I wish it hadn't come to that as a solution but at least it's there.

Still, how shitty.

They have no choice honestly. The PR has been a bloody disaster.

They still screwed me over. Here's a novel concept. I don't want my money back, I want the steam copy I was promised on day 1.

I don't like that the guy who wishes Twitter would unban Alex Jones has been fucking over smaller studios by giving them these exclusivity deals then immediately throwing them under the fucking bus either.
