He didn't finish the game. It's like paying someone to install a wall in your house and they stop halfway with the excuse of, "Well, I'm not charging you for the rest. Here's half a wall." He's as much a scammer as whoever put it on Steam. He was paid (handsomely) for a product that he never finished. I've got no sympathy for the dev.
Soon OR NOT yet
It's not a matter of owning, but simple basic decency. You don't owe anyone to use words like "please" or "thank you" either in the interactions, but it's generally douchebags that choose to opt out.
mannnnnnnnnnn, what's happened to you? Atleast tell us please
I commend him for closing his account and stopping the milking, but he owes at least a few words saying he quit. Not even an excuse why. That he does or not is his prerogative, but popping like this after disappearing to warn about a scammer related to his game is quite laughable
Yea, that's the gist of it. Honestly, I can see myself paying for not completed games in some cases. But they'd all derivate from a principle of whether the dev has already finished a good game prior to the one I'm debating buying unfinished (devs like DPC, DriftyGames and Caribdis are examples of those who I'd be willing to pay for the game despite being unfinished)
I agree totally he doesn't owe them anything. That does not mean writing a two sentences message saying "hey.. i will stop. Dont wanna talk about it" would have been nice. Takes literally 20 secs and people would appreciate it.
Well, the dev literally posted today. So, not dead, but the game on steam is not from them.
It's been removed.
I agree it would've been nice. But he didn't. Which is kind of rude. They can be mad at that and that's fine. I also agree with whoever said that he shouldn't even have popped back up. All it did was stir up more shit. Which this site really doesn't need more of.
ya I did read before typing this, but to know that such a kind of rumor has it where the dev was drafted to the Russian/Ukraine War then passed away which is what I read, doesn't look good for the dev that this "rumor" is happening
And what work was done between ep 5 and his disappearance when he was supposed to release ep 6? All those people got were a few pictures to keep them on the hook. Where's the proof that he was working on the project for that time for them to be paying him?
I do hope TLG settles everything and has the will to continue, don't get me wrong. It's a big mountain of questions and opinions to climb though, just sayin'.
Would be interesting to see that happening. Adam needs to be taken down a peg or two for what he's done throughout the story (that really bummed me that he didn't got his comeuppance when I saw the project was abandoned). Wasn't expecting to hear of the dev after what happened some months ago.
