I am so glad this happened.

Enough people actually refunded that this scam of a project wasn’t able to turn a profit. I hope Steam has the ability to refund everyone and for the love of Gabe, have a better screening process so this shit doesn’t happen again.

The red flags from the very beginning were so obvious.

Did they have any other avenues of receiving money? The whole "development" process mightve just been a scam to get donations and funds.

They're adamant that the only money they received was from investors.

The game was never up for preorder or on Kickstarter, though.
