I see where you're coming from, and I completely agree with you, but there are many catches to this. A "finished game" is, sadly, subjective, and while a proper gamer can detect "jank" from miles away, much like how a music-lover can detect a "bad song", or an animation-fan can detect "animation errors", I'm pretty certain that in court that would not hold up. The investigation that would actually take place will very likely go through a process that is alien to the end consumer and very, very clear to the lawyers of the shady companies that would be investigated, and they will very likely abuse the process for their benefit. From experience, we live in a world where "quality" doesn't matter to the higher-ups and doesn't hold up in court, only "results" matter.

Someone even made a "lowsodium" subreddit for it(it was called r/lowsodiumTDB, he privated it now) because he was banned from the game's main subreddit for being a troll, but obviously he wasn't cos he was defending the game on multiple subreddits. Of course his subreddit was run solely by him and anyone who even raises their skepticism and honest observation of the game gets their comments deleted because "it violates the rules and protocols of this community" and 90% of the posts there were just him spamming random Twitch clips of the game. Based on user comments from the main game subreddit he also thinks and hopes it will get released on consoles, and apparently didn't even played the game(only watched streams of it) at first and just plays it at his local LAN cafe, his reason also varies from comments to comments as to why he does it.

@@christianjohnsalvador1121 I still don’t think this was a scam, or at least not an INTENTIONAL! scam. Too me this is an example of a small development studio biting off more than they could chew, they wanted to make what was essentially a AAA game with no experience with making a big game like that. Yeah they did have deceptive marketing, but at this point that is normal for the games industry so it shouldn’t be chocking when a small team does it because the AAA companies do it on a weekly basis. In the end the developers tried to make a massive ambitious game with no real experience and little planning! Of course it was going to be a disaster!

MMO gets attached to all sorts of games these days. Bungie insist Destiny 2 is an 'MMO' when clearly it isn't; at least not in the general usage of the term. I would not call this a 'scam' though really, since prior to release there was no money that changed hands; no Kickstarter, no pre-orders etc. If people bought it without doing their own due diligence then more fool them...buyer beware and all that. It was all well documented after all, and anyone that saw any of that MUST have seen the massive red flags along the way for months and months. And clearly many did...selling 190k copies for a game that was THE most wish-listed game ever on Steam is a clear indicator most had not been fooled. That being said, sure, many people don't keep up to date with what's going on with games to that degree...but again...they really should have at least checked some reviews. So, at the end of the day, those that bought it got a game, a bad game...but a game that at least worked in some degree, at least as well as many other trash titles that release every week on Steam. So no it was not a 'scam'...they paid for a game and got a game. BUT, that being said, you can make a case for deceptive or false marketing, I guess. If they had not folded instantly though and abandoned the game after they received some money from the initial sales, as they have abandoned nearly everything else they have made, then I would have said it was a scam. Yet, since they did not and will not receive any money then it really wasn't a very well thought out scam if that was the intention. Valve does not pay out instantly...if you release a game on Steam you have to wait until the end of the month in which you release AND another 30 days after that; so a game that comes out in the first week of a month is not going to see any money going to the developer/publisher for almost two months...AND during that time, for any refunds made, Steam still keep their 30% cut of the initial sale even though they refund the total sale price, so that just means less and less to go toward the publisher. The publisher will then take their cut...and then finally the developer gets their money. If they thought they were going to make some quick cash they must have been delusional...I just think they had literally no idea what they were doing. You don't go from making the sort of game they had previously made to a top tier AAA quality title that normally requires a mega-budget with two dudes and a bunch of 'volunteers'. 'I have to conclude that it is not possible for an indie studio to develop an MMO.' - It's not just that it's difficult for small scale studios...they also require massive amounts of capital. Not only are they the most difficult genre of game to make, they are also amongst the most expensive. That's why pretty much all these crowd funded MMOs typically crash and burn.

In a perfect world, this would be a wake-up call not only to the gaming community to stop following baseless hype trains that only lead to broken games and promises, but also to federal legislators to start slapping intense regulations onto an industry that's gone completely rogue. In the world of stupidity we actually live in, nobody's gonna learn a damn thing from this, and we'll be back to this same song and dance in another year or two because a large number of people aren't as far evolved beyond their primate ancestors as they'd like to believe.

Actually it did happen before that Steam forced everyone to take a refund for a game. That was some Ninja Turtles game which was 14.99€ a year ago or so. At that time that was because the game was back on the Steam Store by accident apparently. So people who bought it were refunded due to Steam having no license to sell it anymore but having sold it by accident.

I do wonder if the Wild Eight developers were being lazy in updating their Steam page, or if they shrugged and thought keeping the Fntastic name would help drive traffic to the game's page? It seems like they had a lot of chances to correct the info, especially with how much Fntastic was in the news cycle due to the release of Propnight and The Day Before trailers.

Eurogamer printed that story about Eight Points name change, and Game Rant and Insider Gaming copied it and spread the misinformation. Eurogamer then had to print a retraction when they found out they were wrong (as did the others that printed it...although one just did a sly edit and didn't admit they were wrong; didn't even change the title of their story - bad journalism on that outlet's part, but at least the other two admitted they were wrong). Not much consolation for the damage caused to the other publisher though. Same as always, even though those retractions were soon printed there's scores of people that still believe the original story or haven't seen the error correction. Internet can be a dangerous place.

I saw people clinging to it even as I was referencing the correct statement towards Eurogamer. Honestly people should have done their own research from the start. It's not that hard to find details that are conflicting with the presumable company rebrand. For example why would Fntastic only do that name change on The Wild Eight but not on Radiant One and Propnight? Hell, even that supporter whatever bundle for The Wild Eight is still saying Fntastic. This would have been a no-brainer but all the parrots wanted to believe those lies from Reddit.

On one hand yeah it sucks that a different dev is getting hazed BUT if Fntastic have been unaffiliated with The Wild Eight and Eight Points since 2017 then I gotta ask; what did Eight Points expect? They've been the only devs for The Wild Eight for effectively it's entire release since 2019 and they only now FOUR YEARS LATER decide to change the info on Steam. There's definitely a certain amount of responsibility on their part here.

The only thing I'm surprised by in all of this is that they actually launched a game. Actually 2 things, I was surprised by how many people bought this day 1 from a mostly unknown studio but gamers seem to enjoy buying broken games on day 1 rather than doing the smart thing and waiting considering how many terrible game launches there have been in recent history. The disaster speedrun after launch was not a surprise, there were red flags all over the place. I've been following this since the original trailer launched and it was free entertainment, the best part is the fanboi's coping about how people 'ruined the game' and 'didn't give fntastic time' by calling it out as terrible.

The problem is people are associating technological progress with talent and hard work. Sure you can load up a game engine and make a game, but there is a fat chance in hell that the game is going to even be remotely good. Making a good game takes more than cutting-edge tools or massive amounts of resources available; a game needs soul and genuine effort poured into every aspect of the game. That goes for all stages. the GDD, prototypes, art, development. If you lack in one area, other areas will suffer
