@gritty elk Hey! Can you recommend some XanGo juice to help with game development? 🙂

So what happened. Sharif mismanaged the company to the ground, with a crippling debt he transferred his private assets (his house) and sold interpid to Karen bayenko which he refers as "the board" in his last statement.
The statement is mostly PR damage that is half truth half lies. There was never any board up until recently when bayenko took over. He made bunch of debts and ran away pretty much.
All this information is publicly available online if you know how to look it up

Hello everyone

summer spruce
#

Biggest red flag is what someone just pointed out.. Steven Sharif was involved in a major pyramid scheme business before starting Ashes of Creation. Much like Jeromy Walsh and his scammy business practices prior to start Chronicles of Elyria, I think this game is gonna go down the drain. At least Steven is a cocky, arrogant guy that is super overly confident in the game. Jeromy Walsh on the other hand was always so quiet and reserved with CoE and he barely gave us any information on the game at all.

Sharif: Marketing genius but still a cocky, arrogant douche that probably won't succeed.
Walsh: Scumbag liar that intentionally paid himself and his family well while firing all but 1 employee right before Christmas 2020

It's rather amusing, really. People panicking because their endless money sink is flopping and going "how do i get a refund for my 15k$ I gave them in good faith!".

I already got death threats in #questions for saying the game hasn't shut down officially and Steam won't be happily refunding everyone just because several high profiles stepped down.

Meanwhile I'm here like... bro I bought in for 40€ and spent a good 40h, so I'm satisfied.

Also since I left the server like a week after the Steam release, I came back and something's broken because I can't post in alpha channels. Does anyone know what you have to do to verify again as a player? tried re-linking discord to game account but it says my password is incorrect and I don't want to break the launcher login by changing it because I'm pretty sure it's the correct password.

SCAM SCAM SCAM THE ASHES OF CREATION IS A COMPLETE DISASTER!
WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN AMBITIOUS, PLAYER-DRIVEN MMO HAS TURNED INTO NOTHING BUT A CASH GRAB. CONSTANT DELAYS, HALF-BAKED FEATURES, AND SHADY MONETIZATION MAKE IT CLEAR THIS GAME CARES MORE ABOUT EXTRACTING MONEY THAN DELIVERING ANY REAL VALUE.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A FINISHED MMO, LOOK ELSEWHERE — THIS IS PURE HYPE AND BROKEN PROMISES. SCAM SCAM SCAM

The game is doomed, while yes investors with money can easily replace lower tier workers they cannot so easily replace the creative director and senior developers. If they do its gonna be a disaster whatever art direction, styles theme and design,as well as gameplay will be changed drastcially. The original idea and concept is gonna be ruined or torn apart because the suits wont care about gameplay they'll care about money so they'll start catering to the casuals and Majority pve crowd who never wanted open world hardcore PvP full loot systems in the game, expect MTX out the ass and p2w system implementations and the game to go full f2p with alot of scummy and shitty systems that will be devoid if anything that peolle who invested or played the alpha wanted originally. The thing that sickens me is the pve crowd trying to be smug and use this as a point saying "see pvp focused games dont work look how ashes died!" But the game fell apart not because of pvp not being able to retain a player base but because of poor management decisions. Steven didnt pay attenion either he lost control of his project supposedly because someone invested more money into his project and bought the company via buying more stocks making it so they owned the company more and became in charge of the decisions. I see alot of people screaming scam and rugpull because they only see two guys on the board and the names havent been changed yet, however that js not how being on a board or business works there are very likely outside influences and companies who were investing money into the idea and making financial decisions. I sincerely its just a rugscam because it took 10+ years of development and a bunch of other people working.

While the building is burning down, should I buy the game on Steam so I can enjoy exploring the world provided I use proper fire-retardation?

*"Hey there,

Don´t worry, let me help you out with this.

I have closely reviewed your request, even though your purchase does not qualify for a refund within our Refund Policy and Common Refund Questions, I've decided to open an exception for you and issue the refund as a credit to your Steam Wallet for future purchases."*

Thanks Steam, such a chad!

I am going to stay hopeful. We are seeing this stink about steve and some others. But have heard nothing from John Moore who is the president of the board. I also have not see the lead programmer mentioned either but may have missed him. I think everyone is jumping. no one knows what is happening . Maybe there a reason. Steve was against p2w maybe the board out voted him on it or maybe they wanted to sell and he didn`t. tell we have all the facts we are all just guessing

You have been reported.

I am not a bot. I am a Volunteer moderator. I do not have mod powers but my reports are taken seriously and those who get on my bad side tend to get banned in under 24 hours. I have numerous rules, which you may read in my post history, but 1 is the most important rule of them all

  • I am an officer in training, and I expect to be treated the same way I would be with my uniform and badge.

Watch your back and get used to this face kiddo, you'll be seeing a lot of it.

If you didn't buy it on Steam just run a chargeback. I explained what happened with it to my CC company and they agreed I was defrauded and approved the refund.

I'm guessing the new owner doesn't have the team or the expertise to handle operations. If the game's running, it's probably going to stop soon.

hey guys! I just picked up the game any tips? 🙂

somber crescent
#

just send this to question about my purchase,

Subject : Refund request
Hello Steam Support,

I’m requesting a discretionary refund for Ashes of Creation.

I understand my purchase may fall outside the standard refund criteria. However, Steam’s own Refund Policy notes that users can still submit refund requests even when outside the stated rules, and that consumers in some jurisdictions may have additional refund rights in circumstances where a game is faulty.

Recent public information about significant disruption at the developer raises a reasonable concern that the game’s continued development and/or operation may be paused or discontinued, which would materially undermine the purpose and value of my purchase.

Given Valve’s U.S. jurisdiction (Washington) and U.S. consumer-protection principles prohibiting unfair or deceptive practices (FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. §45; Washington CPA, RCW 19.86.020), I respectfully ask Steam to review my case and grant a refund (original payment method if possible, otherwise Steam Wallet credit).

Steven Sharif OUR HERO AND SAVIOR, he will save the mmo genre.

Ashes of Creation isn’t just an MMO, it’s the MMO. the one that finally fixes everything because Steven is literally one of us and would never lie to fellow MMO enjoyers. There will be no cash grab, no pay-to-win, no corporate interference, because trust me bro, he said so, and vibes don’t lie. Every delay is actually a good thing, every unanswered question is “still being discussed internally,” and every concern is instantly shut down with “just wait, you’ll see.” If you’re skeptical, it’s only because you’re jaded by bad MMOs and can’t recognize a true vision when it’s right in front of you. This isn’t blind faith—it’s informed optimism, backed by interviews, promises, and the unshakable belief that this time the dream MMO will definitely be different.

Hello, friends!

Thank you for waiting so long for my reply. Now I'm ready to tell you the whole truth about Ashes of Creation.

The thing is, I'm gay, yes, that's why I love scamming people out of money. This MMORPG was never supposed to be released. The Steam launch is only needed to raise even more money before it shuts down. My husband and I want to go on a year-long vacation to the Maldives and indulge ourselves in every luxury.

As you can see, the situation is very complicated. I'm glad you spent all your money. Of course, Steam won't give you any refunds. I feel very sorry for you, I apologize.

The news about the board of directors was true. My husband (the second director of this company besides me) really wanted to take a vacation, so I had to quit.

Steven Sharif CheekySteven

We definitely got scammed

To be real, the biggest scam was that 250 people were employed by Intrepid. That's not a boot strap indie studio, that is an attempt to be AAA without any revenue except expectant fans.

250 employees in California is likely a minimum of $500k a month in payroll

This project should have been 10 dudes in a basement. They likely made $2mil from Steam sales, which would be WAY more then enough to fund an Indie size studio another 2 or 3 years

Even if steam declines you, make a follow up and pray to be connected with an actual steam support agent and not their automated response. Stories have been spreading around reddit alr that people did indeed get a refund even after they were declined from automated response. The refund is in steam funds though but its still better than nothign

It took me 4 months to be able to buy AoC. I worked overtime and paid my rent early just to afford the box price. It took a lot of extra hours and had to skimp on my daughters baby formula a little, but im finally in game! I cannot wait for the adventures that lie ahead and the friends im about to make to pull me away from the dread of my dishwashing job at Arbys! Finally, some much needed decompression and relief in this game i've been wanting to play for over 10 years! So glad I get to see Steven’s vision with my own two eyes! What a guy to get us here. I’m just thankful. Who wants to link up and farm mobs???

Hey everyone!
Just got back on land after a 9-week offshore drilling project at sea 🌊
Finally have proper internet again, just bought the game, and I’m super excited to jump in now.

I’m still very new and figuring things out, but I’ve heard PvP is a big part of the game.
Does anyone have beginner tips on how PvP actually works and what I should focus on to maybe get my first PvP kill without instantly embarrassing myself? 😅

Any advice is appreciated — happy to finally be here and play ⚔️🔥

I suggest that everyone go put in a refund and in the reason why , suggest that Steam gonna also be involved in the Class action Lawsuit to follow this news, and they need to refund their users and set a standard and go after Steven and Intrepid themselves and set the standard that Steam wont be used for Scams like this . just a suggestion.

Backed it 3 years ago...played day 1 on steam, 20 minutes later after sitting in queue, played for 1 minute, didn't like the gameplay at all...quit, uninstalled... asked for a refund immediately that day, rejected because I bought a support pack that didn't even give me acesss until Beta...which never happened. It went to Steam release, and my money is lost. What a fail.... And the backer cost was 75, steam release cost was like 42... I even asked for the difference to be refunded...still a no. They wouldn't respond to my BBB filing either.. lol

Sorry for all those that did enjoy the game. Sad for those players and for the employees...

Woah....6 hour delay on chat..

Moving on, good luck everyone on your next adventures.....

🚨 MMO REALITY CHECK 🚨

I’m done with games that exist only if you squint really hard and wear VR goggles backwards.
I’m going back to Dark Age of Camelot — a LEGIT MMORPG that boots up, stays online, and doesn’t do whatever Ashes of Creation just pulled.

Ashes didn’t just cancel a server — the entire studio behind it, Intrepid Studios, has collapsed days after Early Access launched. Their founder/CEO resigned “in protest,” most of the senior staff followed, and hundreds of developers were laid off with WARN Act notices basically signaling the end of operations.

And get this: it’s very strange timing that all this chaos — resignations, layoffs, and meltdown — happened at the same time that Epstein‑related files and documents were hitting the internet and stirring up conspiracy angles everywhere. Which, whether connected or not, sure made the whole situation look even weirder to people paying attention online.

Meanwhile DAoC doesn’t need PR stunts, board excuses, or “weird timing coincidences” — it just hands you a sword and says “someone’s coming, go die gloriously.”

Ashes of Creation finally proved one thing:
You can hype a game for a decade, raise millions, embellish every press release, and still end up with… nothing.

See you in REAL RvR.
Where the only thing that collapses is your enemies’ morale… not an entire dev team. 🏰⚔️🔥

🚨 ATTENTION 🚨
Well boys it was fun while it lasted I had 799 hours in but the game is now dead in the water and every other mmorpg out right now is boring trash we all know it. For whatever reason we are in 2026 and no one can give us a decent lasting mmo.

I see many people asking “where we all going now?”. Currently in OBT for a short time Free to play & download [ Shaiya Arnesta ] Google search it I can’t post link. But it’s a modified private server based off the original “Shaiya” launched in 2006 and basically dropped off in 2012 and moved to private servers mostly. I spent many years playing this amazing game and it always shocks me how few people have heard of it.

Largely focused on a faction based light vs dark 4 race 6 class hundreds of skills to learn and lvling stat/skill point system while also using 4 elements each countering each other.
Solo / party of 7 or single raid of 30. Form guilds within factions and create personal guild houses. Awesome mounts and many different maps to explore unlike fully open world.

Intense pvp & pve over borderlands/dungeons and boss hunts. Mob & quest lvling system from lv1-lv60. There is an item mall shop where you can donate and buy certain items and it may appear at first a pay2win but everything in game is droppable and farmable easily in comparison to what we just did in AoC lol. A drawback I admit is there is no “gathering/processing” system like in AoC but instead armor has various stats and slots to link lapis into and increase stats in a very customizable way.

Although I have no skin in the game since I’m not paid or have anything to do with the Adm/dev team I just wanted to bring awareness of this awesome game to a disenfranchised group of people wanting an awesome mmo to play.

Worst case you wasted an hour or 2 of your time giving it a try or maybe it’ll be the most fun game you’ve tried in a long time.
So come check it out while it’s in OBT a wipe is in a week anyway.

Has anyone managed to get a refund via Steam? How did you do it if so?

Steven, How does it feel to be hated by the entire community?

pure spade
#

Steam will investigate and once that's done they'll issue refunds, it's been two days, don't expect steam to jump to conclusions. if they find that the game is truly dead they'll start refunding, thankfully steven has linked himself personally to the project with his own money, so corporate veil won't protect him if it was actually a scam.

# frosty herald Has anyone managed to get a refund via Steam? How did you do it if so?

first off , for anyone wondering , a normal refund request is honna get auto denied if you re over the 2 hour threshold. So the best way of going about it is opening an actual support ticket by going to “Purchases > Ashes of Creation> I have a question”. Then write in as much detail the game is a scam etc etc , some ppl had success with this. So far all i ve gotten back was “ We are investigating this issue” which to me tells me steam is trying to come to a decision as they have some special rules concerning early access titles. If they deny that , escalate untill they give you your momey back. With that money buy Elder scrolls online .

The company that fired them has three options:

  1. Sell the game and its assets to another company to work on it.
  2. Find someone to take over the development (which from rumours, sounds like what they wanted to do anyway)
  3. Kill it and Close it

All we can do in the meantime is report the Steam page so sales stop happening. But, the only truth is that whatever happens - it will never be the Ashes of Creation you wanted to play since the heart (the team) is gone.

well what is annoying is when you are an early backer which i was and im sure plenty other people were aswell, i think i paid $500 when it was early on no refund for me since i didnt purchase it on steam like the other early backers, its a shame to think that's the price of believing in what the game was going to be.

FAMILY

The gaming industry can be a turbulent storm of hiring cycles and layoffs. We’ve set out to do something different, to break this cycle and create an independent studio capable of withstanding the chaos of this industry. We’ve brought on-board a team of professionals that hold a diverse set of skills, and who all share a singular goal: making fun games. The studio is designed to be an open place for collaboration and communication, a place that is conducive to team building and success. Our goal is to build a family that will laugh together, play together, succeed together, and stay together.

They are selling all the game’s systems and assets to offshore companies, which means there is no longer any chance of another company buying the project and continuing development.

If you purchased the game on Kickstarter, it is impossible to get your money back because the game has already been released on Steam.

There will be no official announcements from today onward; even the employees no longer have any authority on this Discord and are only listed at the top by name.

Lets go Aion 2, Bellatores and Drakantos the real ones

The fact is Steven got his steam payments 3 days prior to him leaving the company. Let that sink in for a second. He had a vision. He had poor fund managment. He couldnt keep up and fell behind. He saw a loophole for kickerstarter backers "we will give the money back"....He saw a cash grab with steam and "release" (poor kickstarters) and he took it. Game over.

I am not a bot. I am a Volunteer moderator. I do not have mod powers but my reports are taken seriously and those who get on my bad side tend to get banned in under 24 hours. I have numerous rules, which you may read in my post history, but 1 is the most important rule of them all

I am an officer in training, and I expect to be treated the same way I would be with my uniform and badge.

It's ok to be mad. But showing your anger in form of homophobia or racism, is a symptom of psychological ill-health, a sign of anxiety and of a lack of identity and inner security. Psychologically healthy people with a stable sense of identity and security are very rarely (if ever) racist. They ultimately have no need to strengthen their sense of self through group identity.

Ashes of Creation was a blatant scam and one of the ugliest rug pulls in MMO history.

  • Decade of grifting & vaporware: Hyped since 2017 Kickstarter ($3.2M+ raised), endless pretty trailers, "revolutionary" node bullshit, but zero real progress. Just milked fans with endless founder packs, cosmetics, and finally $50 Steam Early Access in Dec 2025 to squeeze one last desperate cash grab from ~250-300k suckers.

  • Pump-and-dump "launch": Dropped a buggy, bot-riddled, cheating-infested Early Access mess just to rake in final dollars before the collapse. Classic exit scam timing—get the money, then ghost.

  • Total implosion in 52 days (Jan 31–Feb 2026): Founder/CEO Steven Sharif "resigned in protest" over a phantom "Board" forcing "unethical" shit (conveniently, filings show he basically ran the show solo—lol, nice cover story). Senior leadership bailed. Mass WARN layoffs fired EVERYONE; no payroll, no devs left. Studio dead as of early Feb 2026. Servers limping on life support with zero updates or fixes. Game officially abandoned/cancelled.

  • Filthy backstory & red flags everywhere: Sharif's deep ties to MLM/pyramid scams (Vemma/XanGo FTC shutdowns). Asset dumps (house to spouse right before creditors hit), UCC liens from shady partners, unpaid vendors, alleged debts. Steam probing refunds after the rug pull. Community exploding with "scam," "fraud," class-action threats—reviews nuked to Mostly Negative hellscape.

This wasn't a tragic indie fail. It was years of lies, overpromising, underdelivering, repeated cash grabs, and a cynical final Steam dump to pocket money before torching the whole thing. Employees got screwed out of pay, backers lost millions, and Sharif walks away smelling like roses while blaming a fake board. Biggest gaming grift since Duke Nukem Forever meets Star Citizen's evil twin. Fuck anything with Steven Sharif attached—pure con artist vibes. Avoid, report, refund if you can.

The games not dead guys. Its just in Alpha. You cant expect a polished product this early in the development cycle - you have to give the team time to cook. Dont refund on steam, theres an upcoming stream where the team will layout the development roadmap and all the upcoming updates they have ready to release. You just have to believe in @gritty elk and his creative direction for the game!

Guys I have some really close inside information, on Feb 5th there will be a hearing, I have been told that steven and karen are trying to work out what to do with this situation as they did not expect such a high turnover rate once steven resigned in protest. His resignation isnt the end but could mark the beginning into this whole thing to push yhe investors out, all the payroll money for the employees has been froze so they are working out a plan to get that unstuck at the moment. I was informed that steven is putting his 5.5 million dollar house up as collateral to try to buy his company back and push investors out. It is said that the hearings could take awhile to go through meanwhile he is exploring every avenue to get his company back. This was never a money grab. This is just a prime example of what happens when you jump in a shark tank with a bunch of weasels they first push you out of your business and the. Take it over from the i side out. What the board inherited was a bunch of wasted space on a hard drive, they cant even break it down and try sell it. If steven gets the company back you can expect some big changes are made and they will no longer try to bring in shadow investers. 99% of this entire post is false and I have no idea what im talking about bit it sounded good.

Where did the voice channel go?

My star citizen account is still safe. Weekly progress the people that sold off it to get ashes i feel bad for.

I have my own philosophy or way of thinking: I’ve always believed that to give an opinion on any topic, I need to have actual knowledge about it—and this applies to life in general. When it comes to games (in this case, MMORPGs), I like to play them for a while. I play with friends—a small group we’ve formed over many years—and I try to experience everything the game has to offer in the endgame. Only after going through all that can I give a clear, objective critique...

I’m not one of those people who plays for 10 hours and then uninstalls

idk all the legal jargin but there was an actual board in the company cause steven was dumb enough to take out a loan prior to the kickstarter, and the creditor was able to put a lien on the company once 2026 hit cause the debt wasn't paid off in time

Everyone should just go back on Lineage 2,... There is plenty of good pv server, specialy Reborn, where you can experience what Ashes Of Creation will never be.

Stop trying to find that unicorn, modern MMO will always ruin your hopes.
If you want great guild content with open world, PvP, PvE, siege, no bs instance or bg, there is NO ALTERNATIVE than Lineage 2 C1 to C5.

Steven was a terrible leader, it took him 9 years to make a game with awful PvE and PvP. Now that he's gone, we have a chance for a team to buy the game. The only good thing they managed to do in this game was the settlement system, the rest was a total disaster

God i hope they make you a mod of this discord. You are just so smart and funny that I'd think you were an AI chat bot if I couldn't just feel how kind your soul is. Honestly the highlight of my day is logging in to discord just to see what's on your mind. It doesn't matter how bad my day was because listening to you always makes it better. And to be completely honest I think that's the kind of mod we need here. Someone with a warm heart. It's no secret that a certain other mod killed an entire community with their cruelty and lack of compassion. Other mods literally do nothing because they are afraid of coming into their crosshairs. Giving that same mod more power would be a massive mistake. We need someone perfect in every way like you to be mod. Someone that inspires everyone around them to be better people. Really we are no different than dogs. Beat us and we will only behave when you are looking. But love us and we will behave because we would never want to hurt you and make you feel sad. Even when you aren't looking. I'd just want to make you happy and lick you all over until you couldn't stand it anymore. And I'd keep licking and licking until you begged me to stop. I know that you'd never ask to be a mod because people as amazing as you never seek that sort of responsibility. And if it was offered you would deflect by saying something cute and silly because I know you. But that's why it has to be you.

GO to. SUPPORT - STEAM COMMUNITY - I NEED HELP WITH SOMETHING NOT LISTED HERE - CONTACT STEAM SUPPORT.

Hello,

I understand that my previous refund requests were declined based on the standard 14-day and playtime policy. I am not submitting a standard refund request.

I am respectfully requesting an escalation or supervisory review due to exceptional circumstances.

Product: Ashes of Creation
Account: ""write ur account here""
Purchase date: """ write ur date here"

The developer has publicly announced major layoffs and effective cessation of active development, and the product will not be completed or delivered as originally sold. This represents a fundamental change to the product and the expectations under which it was purchased.

While the account shows high total time, my actual meaningful in-game usage related to the current state of the product is minimal (approximately 25 minutes). The remaining time reflects access tied to the original purchase over time rather than active gameplay of a completed or progressing product.

I am requesting confirmation on whether Ashes of Creation has been internally flagged for exceptional or discretionary refunds, and if not, whether this request can be escalated for manual review given the circumstances.

I am happy to accept Steam Wallet credit if approved, and I can provide any additional documentation or attachments if needed.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

works like charm enjoy ur money back

pretty sus to "launch" the game on steam in order to avoid paying original backers what they paid in.... if this went to court I would hope based on timestamps a judge would have enough common sense to see the scam attempted there

I can make a very limited statement 🫶✨ in my personal capacity ONLY 💼❌ and absolutely not on behalf of the company 💁‍♂️🚫, regarding the situation 👀🍵. Control of the company ✨shifted away from me✨, and the Board 🧑‍⚖️💼 began directing actions that I could not, in good conscience 😔💔, ethically 🕊️, spiritually 🌈, or emotionally 💅 agree with or carry out.

As a result 💫, I chose to resign ✨dramatically✨ in protest rather than lend my name, brand, or personal aura 💁‍♂️✨ to decisions I simply could not ethically support 🚫⚖️. Following my resignation 😌✌️, much of the senior leadership team also said “nope” 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨 and resigned. After those departures 😮‍💨, the Board then made the choice 😬📄 to issue WARN Act notices and proceed with a mass layoff 💔📉.

I cannot responsibly speak to further details at this time 🤐⚠️ due to ongoing legal 💼⚖️ and governance matters 📜✨. What I can say 💖 is that the developers and staff 🌈👩‍💻👨‍💻 acted in good faith 🙏✨ and deserved so much better 💔 than the uncertainty they are now facing 😞⏳.

I am, quite frankly, incredibly dismayed 💔😔✨ by the situation.

Greetings Adventurers,

The moment we have all been working toward is finally at hand: The Quinfall 1.0 will officially launch on February 6, 2026.

This release represents a massive milestone in the journey we have taken together. After an intensive development period and the invaluable support of our community, Quinfall is now ready to move forward as a fully released world one that will continue to grow and be supported over time. Your feedback has been the foundation of every adjustment we’ve made, every new building piece we’ve added, and every class rework we’ve implemented.

# silver tinsel Class action lawsuit is the only way.

you all love just throwing this term around. sweetheart, you have no suit. none. zero. you have no case. I can't even rationalize how you think you do. You know how many kickstarters never see the light of day? nobody gets their money back. even writing it down on the kickstarter isn't a legally binding anything. you didn't sign a contract, you were never legally promised anything. And if you're complaining about the $50 on steam, knowing full well who Steven was, that this project was a little off, it was clearly overpromised, etc.. like if you spent the $50 knowing that and expect your money back you're a fuckin idiot tbh. Like move on broke boy, its $50.

You’re probably right about kickstarter, as you’re donating to someone to make something. That being said, the steam argument is strong. They entered into early access under bad faith, false pretenses. This is in violation of Valve’s terms. Everyone that purchased on Steam should be eligible for a refund. No way you launch an MMORPG in EA on a major platform like that and then tank in less than 60 days in a manner like this without some serious lying going on behind the scenes. No explanation, no official announcement. Zero clarity. All of these are major 🚩

Steam will refund any customer base if the backlash is strong enough. They've got insane amounts of money, and refunding $2 Million is nothing to them if it means they won't be reputationally harmed (platforming a literal scam). There has to be no ''wrongdoing'' on that end, just enough backlash. However the people saying that the steam release happened to ''legally nullify'' the full refund promise in Kickstarter are braindead. The Kickstarter refund ''promise'' is a good faith promise, not legally binding. They released on Steam as a final cashgrab, not to cover their legal basis. If you donated on Kickstarter or their website, that money is gone and there will be no class action lawsuit to reverse those donations. Take the L and move on.
