I still don't know or why people are so upset about this game, I mean it was basically a red flag right from the get go, or maybe I'm just getting old...

Do you remember the days when Day Z launched, there we got games like this on a weekly basis and we had no refunds.

There was this game called The War Z which was so much worse than The Day before and also had wrong advertising, was removed from steam for a short period and an asset flip of another game. It got also rebranded two times and was re-released under those new names until it was shut down 2016. One of the developers of this game, Sergey Titov, was infamous among the gaming community and they investigated and presented all the bad games he was behind, it was hilarious.

History just repeats itself but now we are better secured du to steam's refund policies.
