If there was law that forced the developer to include server binaries so players could host their own servers at EoL, this wouldn’t be such a big blow for owners.
Welp, I backed the wrong horse there. Shoulda bought Last Epoch instead. Or just kept playing Grim Dawn, that game is fifteen years old and still supported by the devs.
It’s not like we got the game we backed. Where’s umbra? Where’s the promised distinct campaign for the female character? Where’s the magic heavy setting? Where’s the rotating the camera to find secret paths and using our special powers to gain access to secret places? It’s all military bullshit with a demonic taint.
I also backed the kickstarter and remember what ir said. We got scammed so bad from a good game.
Eh, I still wouldn’t call it a scam. Words have meaning and scams are intentional; this team just couldn’t do what they thought they could, and made a mediocre version of what they had planned. Game development is hard. I’ve tried to get started on simple little projects in UE and Unity a couple times, and the furthest I got was a model that could run and jump on an endless procedural landscape (before the game crashed because the map got too big I mean).
So yeah, absolutely call it a bad purchase, but I don’t think it’s fair to say they were out to “scam” anyone. We got a game, and it wasn’t even truly terrible - way better than that Gollum “RPG” for example - it just didn’t live up to the hype, and better games in the genre exist like Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, PoE, etc.
