great, another region block! gog you suck!

F*CK gogs greedy, spineless shareholders!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you are angry and I hate region locks like we all do but if they lock a game they don't make money with it. So at least THIS does not have anything to do with them being greedy.

i don't wanna discuss this, if you don't want to see the greed driven decision to waste resources for a german store front, while exactly knowing that it would end up in the shitty region blocks and do it anyway because of pure greed, then its up to you.

O.K. - maybe we should not discuss this then. Wasting resources usually is the opposite of beeing greedy and opening a German store in the hope to attract more customers is not greedy but economical (although it depends on the number of games they cannot sell anymore because of the FORCED region lock) but since - not only according to your nick - everything GOG is doing is driven by greed ect. it does not make any sense to discuss this at all.

btw, if you look it up. gog still didn't add german language to uprising 2 (remember how much time has passed, since you gave them all german files for u2). i guess they don't have the time because of other things, like adding galaxy to installers.

Automatic downvote. Go play on Steam if you hate GOG (aka Gronald tRUMP aka Hitler) so much.

This really is unbelievably shitty. And reading their latest Kickstarter update, there still isn't an ETA about delivering the physical goods, and no word regarding a release on Linux and MacOS... Real shame how some devs exploit crowdfunding because there practically are no repercussions.

As for Kickstarter, they never ever support backers when being wronged by campaign creators. Never.



Well, the update was about telling people that they can finally get their DRM-free copy via a GOG code, which would have been the important part to me were I a backer (I'd find out about the sale coming here to claim my copy, anyway).

Yeah, learn to drive like my mother. :D

I could have too...So what?
The point i paid them at KS (and actually got all my rewards), was to see another Carmageddon game. Didn't care about the physical rewards all that much, but it was good i got them. Though the only thing i've used was the T-Shirt.
Sorry to hear some people didn't get their physical goods, but at least you (and we) all contributed to seeing another game that is different and would be lost otherwise.

When you create a crowdfunding campaign you have a duty to fullfill rewards, rewards that exist to make people fund your project. It's not optional. You also have to properly communicate with your backer.
Unfortunately all we got was an half backed game and a bad example of game developement and unethical behavior. Issue on a project happens but that's not an excuse to neglect your backers.

Now, on the specific issue, a drm-free version of a game shouldn't be something that take so much time to produce and deliver. They got the money to do that.
Keeping the backers informed is not something optional and clearly cannot take too much time. Backers were left without proper response for years.

I love you.

First thing first. What do you mean by "all we got was a half backed game"? Wasn't this game backed successfully on Kickstarter and then it got some additional funding from Paypal? So it was fully backed. Even if you go now at the KS page you'll see it was fully backed.
Secondly, "Bad example of game development"? Where does that derive from? Maybe you wanted to say "Badly executed Kickstarter"? Cause i don't see how bad was the game's development? I mean did you notice any weird crashes? Cause at my Low-Mid end PC it plays just fine.

A DRM-Free version of the game does not necessarily take too much time to produce, but each update (and C:R / M:D got loads of updates, especially C:R). Stainless is not a big developer and not even a rich one at that. So everyone has to allocate their resources so they won't fallout financially.

As for the Kickstarter promises, you might remember that this game was planned for February 2013, for a reason. The reason was that the whole game would have much uglier graphics (shaders) and they had a plan that was "release one map and car, test, fix, iterate, release more". That plan changed initially and it was "release a big chunk of maps and cars and test, iterate etc". They also got another 3million backing from Les Edgars to develop the game for consoles.

So in short : the game got 625.000$ from KS and it's what showed the publishers that people want this game and gave the devs money to start creating it. Then then it also got a 3.000.000$ backing so they could bring it to consoles? They took that money from Les Edgars, polished the game, made it more beautiful and added a few maps.
We first got the game on PC (C:R) and then it was released on consoles (C:MD) and a few months later on Steam. Do you think it should have been released in Feb 2013 as a game with very bad graphics?

I meant half-baked game. Sorry, that was a typo. The game was fully backed and half-baked. The kickstarter was successful, the game not so much. It was released in a poor state with a lot of issue (bugs, crash, performance issue, average graphics). If they hadn't got other money for the console port (that bought them time while they were running away from their responsabilities toward the backers) we wouldn't even have Max Damage right now. And they changed the name for a reason, to get away from the bad reputation the game got.
Drm-free was part of the initial deal, not something they could choose not to provide (and we are way long past the time it should have been made available). The same goes for linux and mac, that got neglected while the console port was not in the initial plan. They are the one that promised those things and the reason they got the initial money.
And neglected most of the the backers inquiries about thos topics.
That's bad developement and bad crowdfunding behavior. This is an example of a kickstarter gone wrong.
