Get some money out of the “game” and then just disappear.

Is this even possible with the way steam handles the payment of developers? If I remember correctly you get the money not directly and steam also freezes a certain part for refunds.

You could say this about most if not all scams I dare say. It’s “your fault” you fell for it.

Only if there is no chance to see your money back. A scam for me is something that is clearly desigend to trick you into buying it and then you out of luck because there is no chance of refunding your money. But in this case everybody who spend more then 20 minutes into it can see what this game is about and has no issues to get their money back.

The game was marketed as the most ambituous MMO since a very long time and apparently what they released is a bad extraction shooter so idk if I could call it anything but a scam.

I completeley agree on the shady marketing but again I dont see the possible advantage for the developers in this. They marketed their game as something that it is clearly not, so people just can check it for themselves or from valid ressources and then refund the game. No damage done except a little loss of time on your end.

And please don’t think that I defend this game, I dont give a flying fuck about it, not even interested in it. I just find that a scam is something like Chronicles of Elyria, where all the kickstarter backers never wil see their money back. But The Day before is just a very terrible video game, nothing more, nothing less, at least in my opinion.

how do you scam people when it was not possible to preorder this game due to steams early access rules?

And after launch you still have the two hour window for refund and the game has no own launcher, so it’s pretty easy to get rid of this game and get your money back after trying out this mess. So if you loose money it would be at least partly on yourself, right?

Don’t get me wrong this game had “I suck” on the forefront since it’s announcement and it had some really shady marketing, but I wouldn’t call it a scam, since you can very easy avoid to loose money on it.

Don’t know what kind of videos or ads you have seen, but the graphics are really that amazing. Last time I saw such an amazing and dense rain forest was in Crysis.

The game is really good, like the Pandora version of FarCry Primal (last FarCry I actually played) but with better graphics und new fun gameplay elements like flying and an awesome open world. But if you are an Avatar fan the game is fucking amazing and an absolute must have imho.

Also the graphics and optimization are really awesome, rocking 110+ fps on a 6900XT on 1440p with FSR 3 and frame generation with everything on high or ultra.

So definitely would give this an 7.5 or 8 for normis and a solid 9 for Avatar fans.

I bet you that this will be in the show and narrated by Ron Perlman.

I never do it. I play games when they are finished

No not really. There’s a reason you hire experts to do a job and I for instance hates it if someone try’s to explain to me, a designer, what a good design is…

TV shows/movies based on games are usually just a cash grab that play on people’s love of the source materia

I really disagree on that. Most recent videogame adaptions have been pretty awesome: Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Last of Us, Castlevania. Sure there are some stinkers out there, but the quality really went up in the last years.

the trailer looks great and really has that fallout spirit somewhere between funny, gruesome and batshit crazy.

Also great to see Walton Goggins in the cast, he’s a great actor

it’s Chornobyl. They changed to the native Ukrainian romanisation after the brutal attack of Russia. Most of Ukraine has swapped out their russian terms in favor of the ukrainian language.
