I bought the game, have not played it and do not mind the fact they fucked up since they are working on it.

I also was prepared for the worse when i preordered it. First, it was from a no name developer who had not created anything. Secondly, the screenshots were ok, but you could tell it was far from perfect. But they are remaking a classic and I will support them. Yes, it should have been truly labeled early access. It also should have had a much better testing phase especially on the english translation. I am almost positive that they did the translating in the last week or so and were way behind. Well, the game for the most part is actually coming together after 10 patches...which is to say a lot more than some of the other unknown releases such as Citadels...LoD...and others.

At least the developers have apologized and are working there butts off. I also preordered the Aliens: Colonial Marines fiasco...that shit was a straight ripoff and pretty close to a bait and switch. Hell, they still never admitted any wrongdoing and the head developer is just a fucktard to say the least. I will never buy another Gearbox game again, fuck Homeworld and if they remake that shit because Gearbox are worse than an upstart company like the ones creating RoA.

Sure, they have made a lot of mistakes, but they are new in the pc gaming industry and I can support that. Just like i support Kerbal Space Program, Kenshi, Star Drive, and a lot of the other early access and indie games I have purchased. Because they are more likely to communicate with there customers and work there butts off. A:CM even today is still a crap game and the AI is absolutely dreadful.



Now, you also read about the issues beforehand so it was not like you could not be prepared...and to assume STEAM would not release this is just a bullshit excuse to try and say it was not your fault. Let's see...Steam has allowed War Z....and even though they took it off for a couple of weeks, they still let that crap come back. They have let the mess Citadels just pop up out of nowhere...plenty of crap is released by steam nowadays. It is not like they test the games anymore.

Also, too say you have 500 games on your steam account and now you are pissed...I also have over 500+ games on my account and there are a couple of turds in there I have spent good money on. If money is that scarce for yourself, then it is your responsibility to properly research before buying. It is not Steam's job to hold your hand. Nor is it there job to protect you from buying crappy games. If you would have went to a retail store, 99% likely you would not have gotten a refund either. You may....if you talk to them properly get store credit. Hell, I was able to get glue coins from gamersgate on a purchase the other week because the game had GWFL and I did not notice it before purchasing, and they also have a no refund policy but it is all in the way that you speak to the company.

Although in steam's case...good luck....in that respect it is easier to just say, shit that sucks but I am not dealing with steam's support. Although in RoA, the game has actually made a pretty good stride since the initial release which was not even in fucking english=)
