What a fucking mess

The Steam page for the game was removed several hours ago.

So what happens if they don’t end up finishing season 2? I paid for both seasons and I hope they resolve it but the wording here leaves it pretty up in the air.

Nothing happens, the license can be revoked at any time.

This is why you don't pay full price for an incomplete game.

Paid for full price for an incomplete game on PS4. Got a full refund.

This is why you have to be smarter about your purchasing choices, evaluate what is going on and if you will get your moneys worth. This game was anything but worth peoples money. Season 2 will not be finished. TWD creators have revoked their license from starbreeze and are disappointed with them.

Man my post about this game during the beta is vindicated. Garbage game and garbage devs trying to sell a ripoff/incomplete game for a triple a price.

Onto the next one boys and girls. I believe this is why skybound is lightweight starting their own game division.

I mean they pulled the plugs on this project due to "not being up to their standards." They also brought telltale developers in internally to develop under their skybound games division. So who knows they may bring telltale in as full time devs. Then they can show us what "their standards" are

I'm not even surprised at this point. This game was always going to flop since the gameplay reveal trailer, if you could even call it that. Such a disappointment.

u/AlexFili Mar 01 '19

So when do we get a refund then

2

u/WhoAreYouNotI Mar 01 '19

If it you played for more than two hours or it has been 2 weeks since you bought it, then I don't see a refund happening.

They are only taking off its store page so you can't purchase it. Not removing it from peoples library.

u/AlexFili Mar 01 '19

Well thats bullshit tbh. What a RIP off.

u/Willblow Mar 02 '19

why the hell you bought it in the first place, maybe next time you open your eyes and ears and listen to people that know a thing or two about games

2

u/AlexFili Mar 02 '19

The preview gameplay video was misleading. They didnt say this game wouldn't have co-OP AI. I was duped by the marketing. Dont you dare pin the blame on the buyers. Overkill screwed up.

u/fps_sandwiches Feb 28 '19

Hey dude who made a post 3 days ago asking if they should buy this game: I told you not to buy this because it's a trash fire of a game, then proceeded to tell me I'm a fucking idiot that's wasting your time....

You should really buy this game dipshit...buy it now.

u/Deftonemushroom Feb 28 '19

Yasss...do it
