And how exactly does a free fly invalidate the article about refunds requiring an NDA? Nobody is questioning whether there's is some semblance of a game in a project that has been in development for over a decade, it would be a massive red flag if there's wasn't. What people are questioning is why is there a secret shop page that players can access ONLY after they've spent a thousand dollars on the game, and then another secret shop page after they've spent 10k? What's up with the predatory practices?
Is your response "No no no, don't look at those controversies. Look at how pretty the game is"? A free fly event doesn't invalidate the claim that you might need to sign an NDA to get a refund. It doesn't invalidate the claim that the devs had to pull 7 day work weeks. There are loads of criticism that the free fly does not address at all. These articles would exist even if everyone tried the free fly.
From my experience games that get "hate articles" are games that are already doing questionable things. You don't get such articles circulating about good games because that shit just won't stick. When it comes to SC and CI that shit does stick.
"A" refund, from "one" redditor who has provided no proof. On a subreddit that's been known to brigade. I'm not saying CIG is a saint, but I feel like a rag piece and the outrage need to hold off for more info.
How do you know this? There is a reason why I am asking.
And would you be willing to change your opinion if a redacted copy of the NDA was published?
Seeing is believing and it would sway myself and many more. Until then, it is just another article written based on an unsubstantiated reddit post. And I've seen enough Reddit posts be bullshit to need to see that NDA before believing.
