Went from an "instant buy" to a "never purchase on principle". Such a shame.
Same here. I was definitely going to buy as soon as it hit early access, I loved 1 and even liked Below Zero, I was as assured a sale as they get.
Not anymore. Blocked, blacklisted, and forgotten.
On a related note, did you guys know you can block a whole publisher on Steam from ever showing up in your feed? Click on the publisher's name on any game they're involved with to go to their page, and use the little cogwheel to the right of the Featured, Lists, Brows and so on buttons. You can ignore them, and poof, gone from your steam pages. If anyone deserves to be thrown into the pit like that, it's definitely KRAFTON. Fuck'em.
Is there a way to block literally all studios that have a parent company? Because I don't think parent companies are good things. Nestle is a parent company, QED.
That's exactly what I did after Activision fucked over Infinity Ward. I used to play them all the time, but haven't bought anything Call of Duty since.
Doesn't mean much, but I'm doing what little I can.
To be fair, if you've bought one call of duty, you've bought them all.
I've literally lost track of what call of duty we are even supposed to be on, which is the most up-to-date one. Does even have campaign mode anymore.
Il buy it on sale once the game tanks and they fire that asshole.
But I haven't been looking forward to a game as much as Subnautica 2, and now it's off the radar..
I'm wondering if the first one needs to go from a game I recommend highly (or upvote recommendations of if I'm too late) to one I no longer acknowledge because the same assholes probably get paid from each of those sales, too.
That's kind of where I'm at with Borderlands 4 and that shit stain Randy Pitchford. His situation isn't as bad as this I think, but it's a deal breaker none the less. Don't bite the hand that feeds mother fuckers.
