    Don't fall for their bait and switch guys; Fntastic didn't refund a darn thing. STEAM DID.
    The only reason the money was returned in full was because steam stepped in and FORCED them to do so.
    People seem to forget that steam withholds payments for *3 months* for reasons including exactly this situation.
    A company set on scamming it's "customers" sure as heck didn't gain a conscience over-night.
    I can say without a shred of doubt that ZERO refunds would have been issued if Fnatstic was the one ultimately deciding whether or not they were issued.

    • @Loserstakethebait
      @Loserstakethebait 6 месяцев назад +51

      Remember in their first statement when they announced their studio's closure? They made it very obvious they weren't offering refunds. Said something along the lines of "all the money is going toward paying our partners". They didn't give any indication that they'd refund anyone until they were forced.

    • @Joe90h

      Like any psychopath they do not have the ability to actually understand or grasp normal human responses to emotional stimuli. Everything they do is a 'guess' about how people are 'meant' to respond when hurt, happy, abused, angry, stressed, etc. Human dynamics are just game theory to them. Say and do whatever they 'feel' can manipulate people to 'like' them better, regardless of the actual damage they cause, or relationship with truth or reality.
      Sending this, and other, brain dead and out-of-touch communications that show zero grasp of reality or why they fail and people despise them is classic psychopath reactions. They will just keep adjusting their message, like throwing darts at a board, until they land on something that 'work better'.
      Nothing they say or feel as related to human behaviour, feelings, ethics or morality is genuine or understood. They are 100% self-focused psychos who view other people as tools to be manipulated for their gain, and nothing more.

They didn't go around gaslightning gamers or content crerators (not that I'm aware anyway). They sat and turned their game into a decent, playable experience. Thats what passion for making games is about. Now, nobody's picking on those game studios. But Fntastic? They didn't care about their game, at all. The decision to shut down everything came BEFORE they aunched the first hot fix.

    *To everyone asking Yong to cover how "Like A Dragon" is charging for NG+;*
    He is almost certainly under an NDA which is standard practice in the industry. Especially for contract workers which most voice actors are.
    Depending on the details of his NDA he either can't talk about the game, *at all* except during very specific pre-planmed promotional stuff. Or, he can't talk about the game negatively in anyway.
    As there's no way to address this in any positive way, the only way to keep himself out of legal hot water is to stay quiet on the subject.
    Does it suck? Yes. But this is the world we live in.
    I for one think the corporate world overuses NDAs and makes them overly broad and would love to see NDAs legislated. But until such times as that happens, anyone working for any major corporation in any capacity gets stangled by NDAs.
    So no point in asking him.
