People hating on cheese is just a step too far. I bet Tim Sweeney hates cheese.
- Games like Twin Mirror by Dontnod that are currently in development, never used Steam as marketing platform, never promised anything to anyone and just did what every developer does, which is looking for the best investor for their project, are sure annoying but can't be grouped with the two aforementioned cases no metter how pissed off I might be.
To get a chargeback on PayPal find the Transaction ID, then go to the dispute center or something. You can input the transaction ID and make your case. You need to have tried to get a refund from the seller first, however.I paid with PayPal. Do you guys know how to activate a chargeback?
Also, everyone, the link to submit a dispute for the European Union. Just unsure on who to address this: YsNet, Kickstarter or Deep Silver

As for the EU dispute, this is delicious. Never thought there was something like this. And I think who you address the dispute to is whoever you paid money to. If you paid Deep Silver, go for them. If you paid Kickstarter, go for them. If you paid YsNet, go for them.
Personally, for the PC version of S3 I paid YsNet directly; I bought my Steam key (and I did buy a Steam key - the slacker backer site in June 2018 specifically said Steam), so I will be going for them.
Edit: This only works against businesses based within the European Union, so I'm not sure who you would go for here. If YS NET has an EU office, then that might be it, but I somehow doubt that.
In my case, it will be Kickstarter then who were the ones who processed the payment of my backing.
Kickstarter has to have an European address if I'm not mistaken, I can't find it though. Not even the US address.
I already tried getting a refund from them, and they gave me that template message saying "No refunds"
Yes, I reported the project.Did someone contact Kickstarter yet? I feel bad by throwing them under the bus for Deep Silver's and Ys.net fuckery
Not sure if old, but I went digging in my archived mail and I've found this:
And if I follow the button, it still says "Steam" on the survey site, and I can even change my choice between PS4 and... Steam.
In this particular case though is 50/50 Epic and Deep Silver.Yeah Epic is beyond redemption at this point for me, no matter what they do to turn around it will never be enough. People say Valve was as bad in the begining, but is it true?
True, but I was thinking about in general about epic, how it all has added up. They are the one constant, who enables all others to do shit.In this particular case though is 50/50 Epic and Deep Silver.
I wonder what Sony is thinking of this move and all the bad-will is generating for a game they funded back when the PC was a largely non-toxic platform.![]()
If I'm not mistaken, he still sees nothing wrong with Epic or their tactics. It's all on the studios taking the deal.
The amount of wilful blindness and hypocrisy it takes to achieve that stance boggles my mind.
Nah he's been starting to talk shit about Epic as well.If I'm not mistaken, he still sees nothing wrong with Epic or their tactics. It's all on the studios taking the deal.

Jim Sterling might be a talking head spouting his opinions, but there's definitely a dialogue between him and his audience. If someone explains a situation to him he will listen and come to his own conclusion based on that new perspective. His recent EGS stuff is an example of that - he's definitely had an evolving opinion of it over the last six months.
Unlike some game journos who will just call you a GooberGabber or paint you as a sinophobic conspiracy nut, unwilling to leave their closed ideology echo chamber.
So, has it come out that SIII is a TIMED exclusive?
Reviewers for big and little sites alike have been sharpening their knives over this one for literally years. Regardless of whether it's a game to satisfy Shenmue fans or not, it's going to get crucified.I still hope the game gets a negative review from non-bombers.![]()
I know, never said it's the same situation. I still don't give a damn about their financial situation just like they don't care about mine, so I'll skip the game entirely.That's not the case with Dontnod though. The game is currently in development and won't be out for a while, they didn't take money from anyone (at least on the customers side). They clearly stated that they're going with Epic because they need money and Epic evidently gave them a better deal compared to the one Bamco originally offered.
As much as I'm annoyed about the game not releasing on every platform at the same time and I won't be purchasing it on the EGS, they didn't screw over anyone, they didn't took money from pre-orders, didn't run a crowdfunding campaign, didn't create a Steam page and didn't even say when and how the game was going to be made available to the public.
Very different from stuff like Shenmue or Metro/Anno or other games that used Steam for marketing.
BTW, I was looking at the twitter account of Tom Giardino after the Destiny 2 reveal and noticed that the head of business for the Epic Game store started following him around that time.
I wonder if Valve is retaliating by buying up exclusives of games Epic is sniffing around.
God forbid Valve from doing this. That would feed PCGamer and Era trolls for weeks.i don't think so ... someone would've said something by now (that it's exclusive, i mean)

Just submitted my complaint to the EU Consumer Bureau. It's against Kickstarter though since they are the ones that processed the payment.
It might not even be moneyhats, but favourable incentives exclusively to certain developers. I dunno. I'm not a business person, I don't actually know what business development at Valve actually does if they're not finding ways to bend the rules to get developers on Steam. But everyone was probably sniffing around Destiny the second Activision dropped it, and you know Epic probably had some major cash to throw.i don't think so ... someone would've said something by now (that it's exclusive, i mean)
Maybe Bungie were burned by the BNet experience (it probably sold like shit on that client, on account of it not being a Blizzard game)
Plus I really don't think Valve are sitting on their arses doing nothing about EGS.
because Epic has clearly found a flaw in the free market
but it's clear that customers are getting more and more agitated about this.
Everyone else has cleared out.Dear god, the number of Epic shills in PCGamer's comments is disgusting.
Being a smug fuck when you get paid, but then people dont buy your game and its because they dont deserve them and cant appreciate their genius
That's only because Emilia is a beautiful human being in each and every way, you can't help it!if im being honest i laughed at the GoT meme response. a shitty response still but i laughed
My uneducated guess is that once they get paid big bucks, the game in question is just a formality in order to not break their contract. Might as well just phone it in.Makes me wonder who these people are actually making games for? Themselves? Epic? Cause clearly it's not for consumers.
