I simply hope that the players who thought they were buying a "genre defining MMO" get a refund as that isn't remotely what was delivered. If nothing else, the developers are guilty of using bait and switch tactics and false advertising. I wouldn't buy anything these guys develop going forward until its delivered and the reviews are in.Scam

Which begs the question: "Who the **** still preorders games? When will you learn not to do that?"

All so we could fleece you on the back end more convincingly."It’s important to note that we didn’t take any money from the public during the development of The Day Before; there were no pre-orders or crowdfunding campaigns. We worked tirelessly for five years, pouring our blood, sweat, and tears into the game."
If this is accurate, then the "scam" comments that are being thrown around are inaccurate."It’s important to note that we didn’t take any money from the public during the development of The Day Before; there were no pre-orders or crowdfunding campaigns.

I think the scam part is that they released a different type of game then was promised , had they done a CP2077 type of thing they might have been able to still try and fix the game, not that I see that working out seeing they ran out of money and not sure that they would have gotten the sales to continue working on the game.If this is accurate, then the "scam" comments that are being thrown around are inaccurate.
"failure" certainly, but scam? no.
Sounds to me like they bit off more than they could chew, scaled back as a result, and couldn't even bring that over the finish line, then as a Hail Mary to save the studio decided to release, and hope they got a little revenue to patch things up (After all it wouldn't be the first game to launch fundamentally broken). But it didn't work for them. Oh well.
