lowyhong: IDK bro, like you, I too am contemplating getting a refund for Dungeon Defenders. The only thing keeping it in my account is that it might actually be fun, but eh, I'm a bit compelled to move on to something else if the PC crowd is going to get shafted again with another seasonal delay.
Maybe I'll just ask for a refund and spend my blue coins somewhere else, then come back to it again when it gets released.
I already got a refund on it. When I explained I wasn't happy with how the developers have been promoting the console versions while saying as little as possible about the PC version and the fact that they've kept changing the release date, I was given a refund with the comment "Reasonable enough".
I may well end up pre-purchasing it again (from GamersGate), but not until it goes up on Steam as a pre-order. Once it goes up there it's pretty certain to get a release within 2 weeks (as Valve won't put games from new/unknown devs up for pre-order until 2 weeks prior to release (with the exception of the dev. giving beta access to Steam customers).
But as it was, after pre-purchasing the game in August 2010 under the impression that it was getting released in November (back then, even the devs. stated that), I was less than happy about them having my money and earning interest off it. So I got the refund and spent the money on a game I was able to play right then.
It's probably worth noting that I only tend to pre-order as near to release as possible. I prefer to pre-order a few hours before release (especially if pre-ordering on Steam), but will pre-order up to a month before release on the odd occasion depending on the game. Such as with Shogun 2 which I pre-ordered today, as the 30% cashback went towards the pre-order of a game coming out early next week.
The only game I've been happy with pre-ordering months before release was the Signature Edition of Dragon Age 2, which I pre-ordered on the last day it was possible to pre-order and get that version.
But at least with those games, I know they will be released. But with Dungeon Defenders right now, I've long since lost confidence in the devs. delivering the PC version.
