consumers spend hundreds / thousands of dollars on a BETA game with promises the game will eventually launch; but it never did launch.

 

a cousin of mine spent about $120.00 in 2013 on this game.   still, the game hasn't been released yet. 

 

is this the same thing as stealing?  promising us that a game will be out of BETA soon, and selling their products, only to eventually bail out and leave us in the dust. 

 

 

instead of shutting down and destroying the PC base completely, find an alternative.  we deserve that, at the very least. 

 

oh yeah, and do whatever with this thread.  lock it, remove it, anything.

PC/steam will end, but console is an option.

 

Early access is not without risks. Some games NEVER leave beta/EA.

Expecting every promise on the internet to be kept is very naive. The original promises were even made by different people.

It should be viewed as an intention, or a best/reasonable effort (and the effort that they may consider reasonable will be driven by their reputation).

 

I feel like my investment was fair value for the entertainment I received, however, it feels bad to lose it all due to online server shutdowns and no offline version.

I would accept a way to give them an xbox ID and have my purchases transferred to keep my bling. My hopes for any private server packages fell flat.

MMOs don't give out refunds when they close that would be absurd. You had years to play it you were never entitled to something that lasts forever.

didn't read the fine print, eh?

 

i averaged about 20USD per month, buying junk, and felt it was justified for supporting dev team(s), at least up to the middle of 2016.  about what a fairly decent subscription shooter would be worth, IMHO.

i signed up 18Dec2012.

do the math. 

some of the community were shoving a Whale of a lot of cash at them.

in this double post;  i can conclude that i was wrong to expect something to work even when it generates money.

 

i think back about an investment that i made that caused many hours of drinking when it all broke down.

 

i can still feel the trembling, the numbness, the yelling, the suffering.  sometimes through the night, i dream about that beautiful dream only to realize it has vanished.  i suddenly twitch out of anger and wake up to find 3 holes in the wall. but nothing, nothing has caused me such great harm as this...  the death of something beautiful, so tender. 

 

5  years ago, a young man of endless promise was going places.  all he needed was a way to get there. he found it, on a commercial ad on youtube, through the years, the journey had unexpected turns, and some unwanted passengers.....

 

there are several kinds of love......... one kind of love begins with..... misplaced desire..... and degenerates into a hell of misery and despair!

 

but i digress...  then there's the kind of love when only turns on when asked and turns on beautifully. the kind of love which makes you feel young when you go for a ride..

 

farewell, my sweet chariot of youth.......

that's the cruelest most heartfelt wonderful thing i felt in a while. 

 

when will i have the opportunity to nibble on your corpse?

 

hi eliteshter.

[Vtrastus]

I have not played Hawken in a few monthes, I feel partly to blame for not totally supporting the game.  What I treasure about Hawken is and was the support and teamwork that many had.  I will miss the unity people felt trying to beat the latest score TOGETHER, we were a team of fun loving pixel chasing gamers!!  I do thank those whom played many a game and helped me develop into a good Tech!

I could filll this page with them!  

I am thankful for steam to chat or maybe play other games with the great people that played HAWKEN in another game.

About the refunds, some already lost some of thier monies and "stuff" when the May update was done.  It would be nice to get with steam and maybe offer voucher or something STEAM is still going strong and participated in this venture..

Till next time, the GREEN TECH MECH.
