[@burtreynolds8030]

False advertising is illegal, it’s just very hard to get someone on, especially a video game dev, they could just say it was a trailer for a previously developed portion that was later scrapped, it’s frustrating, but the biggest repercussion is the flop of their game, probably the pull out of investors and the inevitable collapse of the studio

@@burtreynolds8030 As far as i recall from legal experts talking about the issue, the devs can only really be held accountable if the content of the game differs from what's written on the store page or physical box; or if bugs make it effectively unplayable.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

I'm not saying this is what these guys did but, as a pro game dev for 10+ years, I've met plenty of people, teams, and indie publishers who don't understand what all goes into making a game, how long it takes, or how truly expensive it is. People who don't do it professionally (or who are working on one of their first projects) almost always underestimate that stuff by SO MUCH. Like, I've had people approach me with their idea for a AAA game and ask me to help them put the project together, be the designer (for a share of the eventual profit, not a paycheck), etc. I ask them what their budget is and their answer is something like $10k (which they've either been saving up for sooooo long or which they're simply willing to max out all their credit cards to cover). Then they get butthurt when I explain you can't even afford a computer and a programmer for a month, let alone ALL the other people, equipment, and resources you'd need to make a AAA title. And, man, the number of devs I've seen put EA up on Steam, flail around for a while trying to actually make all the stuff they thought they'd figure out as they went, hire a few people to help figure it out, then quickly run out of money and have to either dump their game or water it so far down that it's not even the same game just so they can get something out the door is ridiculous. They can be the most well-intentioned devs on the planet but if they don't have the experience to make a game, the likelihood of burning through all the seed money/donations/whatever within a few months and going under is REALLY high. Then everybody calls them scammers when really they were just overestimating their abilities to make a game. There've been several games where all the discussions around the failed EA was how the devs "obviously took the money and ran" when some quick math based on their starting money and my experience making games tells me that they didn't come out of it with any money at all; in fact, they spent it all in a short time because they didn't realize how much professional programmers get paid, how much professional artists get paid, how much servers cost, how much equipment you'll need (hint: Your team can't all take turns working on your old computer you got on your 15th birthday), etc. Those folks didn't take the money and run. They burned through the money with not much to show for it because they don't know how to make games and got in over their heads. Again, I don't know anything about the dudes who made THIS game. I haven't been following it (though I think I was vaguely aware of some of the initial talk around it forever ago) so I don't have a real sense of whether this was truly a scam or just some delusional people who thought "making games is easy!" like so many do and ended up having to release a much lesser product bc that's all they could manage to pull off with their actual abilities, but, whatever the case, this whole saga sounds like a big CF.

At least Walking Dead was interesting and memorable, the PowerPoint cutscenes, the crazy facial expressions, the utter jank on display, the random cutscene whiplash when it was actually animated for some reason. This game is nothing. Nothing new, nothing original, nothing daring, nothing creative. Just a game barely able to do the bare minimum it promised, with cheap clean art and UIs masquerading as lazy AAA UI design. It's a game designed to prove it's own existence and then hopefully be forgotten about before too many refund requests and lawsuits sink the devs.

[@IrisCorven]

Which wouldn't be a bad thing - if it were competently made. If you took aspects of The Division, Tarkov, DayZ, and then something like Days Gone's zombies, you'd have a near perfect recipe for a small-scale Zombie Survival MMO. But everyone seems to focus too heavily on one aspect. This, though, is just fucking atrocious. We all knew it was a scam from the first VOIP scripted, "amazing graphics" first gameplay trailer. But even just cancelling it or falling off the face of the earth with pre-order money would have been more acceptable than this shitshow.

They were hit with no less than 5 class action lawsuits, one of those being by investors, Sony pulled it from their digital marketplace and offered refunds to anyone who had purchased it, Xbox put a disclaimer about how many players were having performance issues that would likely not resolve until some huge update for consoles, CDPR had their servers hacked and a lot of data was stolen to be ransomed back to them, etc... So no, they didn't exactly "get away with it". They dealt with all that and kept working to improve things, bringing it the fantastic condition it's in now. They took the shit people flung and worked to fix what was broken, which is a whole lot more than most devs bother doing these days.

Not saying it's not a scam either by the way, thought I should make that clear.

You're correct, they released a game to avoid a lawsuit, but its still a complete scam and asset flip. You saw the words "open-world mmo" plastered everywhere, and hell it still says it on their steam page, yet somehow its a extraction shooter all the sudden with no announcement. Where it gets even more sketchy is how the devs deleted videos of most of their videos that showcase missing features or state that the game will be "open-world". Funnily enough, they're about as good at hiding their shenanigans as they are creating a game, so it wasn't hard to figure out. I see people comparing this to the launch of Tarkov or DayZ, which weren't great at launch either, but at least the devs didn't lie about the direction of the game and then try to hide it. Not to mention how they promised features like driving cars in the city, crafting, basebuilding and they're entirely missing. Five years to make a game that feels like one week of development. All in all, when a dev teams track record of games stinks of doodoo, don't be a fly.

The most interesting thing about this game is it technically breaks the Geneva Convention by using the Red Cross symbol on a random ass pharmacy you probably can't even enter. (8:56) "It is prohibited to use unduly the distinctive emblem of the Red Cross, Red Crescent, Red Lion and Sun, or any other emblems, signs, or signals provided for by the Conventions or by Additional Protocol I (API Art. 38 and customary IHL Rule 59)."

[@_mycotroph]

I think that's a silly rule, video games helped associate red and green crosses with health or healing before I ever even knew what a hospital was. I think it actually helps their cause

[@jesperlivid9184]

@@_mycotroph The point of the rules is to not minimize their purpose and any medic's purposes in the world, putting it in a game where it's unnecessary just means people are more likely to glance at it and not care in the real world. The rules were established because people were SPECIFICALLY targeting medics in combat in brutal ways, which meant the red cross couldn't even deploy in some circumstances in a lot of cases. The history behind the rules is important, The Red Cross really does not need your "advertising" or "awareness" in random games and instances like this. It muddies what it stands for. You can have your opinion but it's important to understand deeper why the rules were actually established. The green cross is entirely fine.

[@IncognitoSprax]

​@@jesperlivid9184 The Red Cross symbol is internationallh recognized by the Geneva conventions but in general they can't really do anything about it, local governments are the ones that would have to act on it. The U.S isn't a part of the ICC though so no idea how well that could even be enforced.
