Why is this still verified?
I find it irresponsible from Valve to market this game towards Steam Deck users, practically exposing their own customers to the threat of having their account banned permanently.

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE CAPS LOCK GAME TITLES?
Are they doing it to stand out of lists?

Still? Are you considering to go closed-source?

A DLC is a DLC, if it’s free or not. Therefore, I’m technically correct, the best kind of correct. :smile: /jk

Between the requirement of always having to be online and having to manually invoke the keyboard, I would say the developers are overly optimistic regarding the outcome of the verification process.

Pinky swear!
‘Right… they do still own their IPs and, of course, they are free to be creative on these IPs in their free time. 😉
Naturally, from 9 to 5 we fully expect them to work on whatever we tell them to work on.’ - the majority stakeholders

Quoting: emphyNot a fan of the dlc-spamming. Especially at release (and even during the early access?).

Still interested, but going to wait for a lower sales price.
There's two, and they're mutually-exclusive. That's spam now? If you don't want the portraits to be anime characters, and you don't want the portraits to be furries, don't buy either of the DLCs. Doesn't seem difficult to me.
I’m really torn about it.
First the facts: There are 5 DLCs. 2 free and 3 paid.
- a story/art book
- 4K texture pack
- a soundtrack (paid)
- an avatar asset flip, anime version (paid)
- another avatar asset flip, furry version (paid)

Personally, I don’t consider 5 DLCs as ‘spamming’, but admittedly I wouldn’t know when something is considered ‘spam’ in the community.
In principle, I’m against releasing DLC during the early access phase, as it contradicts the original spirit of DLC being an extension of the original scope of a released game. (But who am I kidding? This spirit, if it ever existed, has been thrown overboard long time ago. Some publishers are even actively trying to redefine the term “early access” as something completely different already.) It feels like the developer tries to ‘double-dib’ inside my wallet, which I don’t like.
Also, I dislike the fact that 2 out of 5 of the DLCs are AI generated art, as releasing such assets always feels like a cash grab (to me).

The developer may could have refrained from these secondary sales propositions, but I am unsure about the viability of a project without these…?

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderWhat a "shitty" looking game....... Plays like utter "crap" too...... :tongue:
And the protagonist is a literal arsehole, too! :tongue:
So its just like any other game then...... :wink:
Slow down there, you’re all wrong. I’d say you can have a crapload of fun with this game. In the beginning it may seem a little astringent, but after a few minutes, when you made yourself comfortable, it loosens up and then it’s easy to have a run.
Now I always feel super relieved after just one session.
