Yeah fuck this game in particular. Made by a Russian company with ties to their defense industry.
I was going to make an argument that it was probably just research for their real world gun implementation, then I read the article. Big yikes.
Paying for a cheater infested pvp game is not something I can see myself doing.
I quite like the singleplayer mod. Also the devs apparently support the russian invasion of Ukraine, so don’t give them your money anyway.
I agree, Single Player Tarkov was the only way I found the game playable. The bots could be decently balanced so there was still some challenge and risk to the game.
Still an issue ?
Wouldn’t know. Like I said I can’t see myself paying money for a game infested with cheaters. This is the game that made people aware of the wiggle even among those that didn’t play.
Damn, this developer is really hell bent on pissing off its fanbase, isn’t it?
And not a single person was surprised
Yeah it would be the exception for a game that comes to Steam later in its life to give out Steam keys to current owners.
They are just doing this to cash out, it costs them nothing to provide a Steam key.
I haven’t read the article, but just going off the title, if that’s accurate: isn’t that how it’d be for any game? I’m not defending it but the only platform I’ve seen devs give Steam keys to players for ownership on has been on itch.io.
People don’t suddenly get rewarded cross-platform ownership just because they bought it on one platform. Same with Unrailed, had it come out on Switch first and Steam later, etc.; they must re-buy if they want it on Steam. Same with Slay the Spire: existing Steam owners don’t suddenly gain Android access just because it released on Droid, etc.
The system is still “PC” in this case, even if technically the platform is different. And since you have to log into your account with their service, they can easily confirm that you own the game.
I don’t have to create an account to play Slay the Spire on Android.
The title is accurate, and I agree with you; there is no need for an outrage. I don’t know a single game that would give free keys for another platform. It would be cool, though.
Many individual devs on itch.io will do so (I think not Slice & Dice’s dev, though, sadly)!
I regret buying it the first time.
huh, I was interested in picking this up
Guess not
No. They don’t “have to”. Wake up, fellow poors. Stop giving your money away. If “buying” doesn’t equal “ownership”, et al…
Play xonotic instead.
Why wouldn’t it?
