ITT: gaming rugpulls

sure

>>722933098
this was brutal, at least Vavra ran his mouth plenty before release so we knew not to buy that shit.

>>722932705 (OP)
I remember following this prior to its release. Was supposed to be a fun time but man did it feel bad to play.
>>722932901
My understanding is they're still putting out updates despite the lawsuit aren't they?

biggest rug pull is probably day z
little cuck that is rocket ran off with the money and still to this day trying to shill shovelware doa early access slops to relive the success that was his first bait and switch

it's over

>>722933175
The reality is much, much worse than anything you've ever imagined about Musa

>You can't be rude to him or disagree with him at any point.
>At one point he's framed by a racist guard for a murder, and you must defend him. You can successfully defend him by doing and saying absolutely nothing.
>The only way to not defend him is to leave the location while the trial happens, which results in a game over.
>He's present at the conclave of christian clergy, and portrayed as the only reasonable party.
>He lusts over white women.
>He changes his sides for no reason, because a negro belongs in the protagonist camp, not the antagonist camp.
>At one point he saves your life, and everybody can't shut up about how great Musa is.
>In the final dialogue with him, it's revealed that he wuz kangs. No, literally, he is of royal blood and could have been the king of Mali. The rightful king of Mali is travelling through Bohemia as a doctor.

>>722933354
it's not.

here's your morrowind-like, bro.

>>722933261
Yeah, and they are leaving Early Access soon.

>>722933603
Nigger i backed a fucking game called Sui Generis, this Exanima shit wasn't what the kickstarter was for.
it was totally a rug pull, ten fucking years later the prequel game to the game people actually backed isn't even done yet.

Fuck yourself

>>722932705 (OP)
Least it was entertaining to watch this shit show happen.

>>722934242
The project leads of that scam went on to make Abiotic Factor and Unfortunate Spessmen kek

Among Trees
>survival game that launched on the epic store for a year
>added like three new things to it then came onto steam
>promised more updates before dropping off the face of the earth
>so abandoned it doesn't even go on sale anymore

>>722933098
Nobody ever brings up the fact that someone working there felt so strongly about how fucking stupid this character was that they leaked it here.

It was far more likely one of the reviewers. They've gotten copies early.

>>722933098
>mfw I remember the anons here who analyzed the anti aliasing in the screenshots to argue that it was fake

>>722934186
Are those the same people making HumanitZ ?

Probably the worst one I've seen, desu.

>>722933040
What happened?

>>722935149
ENTER

>>722933175
Vavra has to be terminally contrarian or something. At peak woke he was a chud making his whole fame on going "muh historical accuracy", but now that woke in on the out he will go online to call people racist shitlords for disliking an unnecessary negro character.

>>722932705 (OP)
what happened?

>>722935181
Nothing.

>>722933261
>My understanding is they're still putting out updates despite the lawsuit aren't they?
Unless the update lets you fuck pals, it's a rugpull. We bought into edgy, modern gameplay Pokemon.

>>722936839
>MMO
over before it even began

>>722932705 (OP)
>rug is pulled
>replaces the rug
>keeps giving you rugs
>more rugs

Thanks, Lord British. Very fun stuff.

>>722932705 (OP)
every early access or 90% of them are rugpulls.
why finish development when you made millions?

any game made with swedeoids
dude 6 month vacation lmao

>>722940509
still waiting

ready or not

>>722940509
Most of yurop has 4 weeks of paid vacations lil' bro...

ITT: increasingly retarded definitions of a rugpull

biggest rug pull of the century
nigga didn't even pulled it once but twice
hats to him

can't get burned if you don't buy early access

>>722933098
What a shame, I really liked KCD1, not falling for Vavra's jewish tricks again.

>>722941434
KWAB, this faggot probably bought Project Zomboid. Look at him and laugh!

>>722933175
>>722935605
He's a jew. It's in his nature to play both sides in a conflict.

>>722941856
>check early life
Oh, he is. Somehow I missed that. Fucking nazis, can't even do a single thing right.

>>722935437
They should just remove that from store at this point.

>>722932705 (OP)
How this is still has "mostly positive" reviews when it is blatantly unfinished with 5 minutes of content, I do not understand. It's still $15 USD!

>>722945327
Gnomoria was alright. It was basically the first of the dorf fort clones with easier ui and graphics. Now theres dozens of them AND dorf fort itself on steam with fancier ui and graphics.
Literally no point in gnomoria now.

>>722934186
I still had fun playing that shit game

>>722946124
Maybe the dev meant well at the time, but he certainly didn't deliver. I can only assume he overestimated the size of the project and gave up. There was some charm in it, to be sure. I would've like to see it finished. But alas.

>>722945327
Yeah this >>722946124
Gnomoria was one of the first DFClones. There was also towns and some other stuff. Most of those were never truly finished. I think gnomoria was still the best of them and it was sort of popular at the time. This was still before rimworld and before steam DF.

>>722946336
From what I remember the dev did most of the stuff he intended for 1.0 but quickly lost interest in doing any of the post-release roadmap, let the website hosting lapse and the game was lost to the dustbin of history.
Someone managed to contact him and he gave a blessing to remake it as a free game named Ignomia but picrel.
As mentioned the game sort of has no right to exist now, but people cared enough to try to continue even after the dev got bored.

>>722935181
They removed the one thing that people wanted with this title, and that was to be able to call the other team niggers without resistance.

>>722937994
This one fundamentally changed me as a person in a negative manner, it was my modern runescape moment.

>>722941468
I had this one mentally blocked out. Now I remember, now I am salty again.

>>722932705 (OP)
Even if you don't like this reviewer, its still one of the funniest zombie game scam reviews out there.

Tribes 3 definitely takes the gold of that category for me
>developer called Prophecy, which is actually a shell dev of HiRez Studios, who rugpulled Tribes Ascend a decade ago and don't want people to remember
>held a few hundred players for about 3 months, then completely died once "Ultra Strikers" was announced, which was an entirely new Rocket League clone that was made out of a game mode that was removed from T3
>US was their new focus game and promptly stopped working on T3 altogether and just left the servers online, causing the few players to just leave
>all while selling a one-year "season pass" for cosmetics, which are AI driven or color swaps
>can still be bought right now for $20 early access, where you can play with <20 players at best during peak hours
>US was eventually abandoned before it hit EA and its steam page was removed
I just want a proper fucking Tribes game again...

>>722937808
but it's never the rug you were promised and ordered

>>722950181
Its the rug that just keeps ruggin'

>>722941419
And yet every other european game company is capable of working through most of the year barring any exceptional disasters, except for these snowmonkeys who go on frequent, constant, unending vacations and will happily leave behind a bugged game with missing content for months on end
Nobody else does it, and therefore the country should be nuked

>>722950597
I don't think swecucks have more vacation or national holidays compared to other yuros, so I think they are just lazy and bullshitting the reasons.

There really should be some final deadlines for early access games.
>5 years to get the game out in 1.0 with at least 80% of originally promised content or equivalent. Stop being a mentally ill and/or lazy failure.
>Maximum of 1 year without ANY updates.

If the dev can't manage to do either of these two the game is taken off the store unless the dev delivers an update or the final 1.0 version (after the 5 year period). If they are working on another game project while ignoring the earlier project, the new game will have a notice on the game's store page saying the developer has failed to deliver on another project and the game also won't be recommended to steam users by the algorithm, they will have to specifically wishlist/follow etc to keep up with the game.

Sick and tired of these lazy faggot devs not delivering.

Forgot about me, have you?

>>722951075
I suppose it was so obvious nobody bothered.
