HypersomniacLive: From what I've read, they're doing what Valve was doing when Steam first launched, just about 15 years later.
Even more reason to steer clear of everything to do with Epic and their store then.

LootSeeker: I got mine too. At least that confirmation was sent. I was worried that there would be no confirmation or notification and that the period for the refund would have a tinge of mysteriousness over whether the form survived its travels through the perils of the Internet to Snapshot Games. Now we must wait for the actual refund...

Grimlock: One question, It's true that you have to give a bank account for this? I've read that you can ask for refunds on fig but I backed it in Xsolla.

I am evaluating my options before making a decision and this would be usefull.

Thank you!
I got the form today from a money transfer company named TrasferWise that is handling the refund for Snapshot. I had to give my checking account information, name and address. The money is due to arrive in my account this Monday (this process seems to be happening more quickly than I thought it would) The only other way I heard a refund can be done is by chargeback with your financial institution. But I never do one of those unless I absolutely must, and this Transferwise company seems legit. As for going directly to Fig or Xsolla to make this happen, I am not sure. I wouldn't be surprised if the result of that ended with them telling you to get in touch with Snapshot, but you could try--haven't heard anything about it though.

LootSeeker: Snip...
Thank you very much for the detailed answer.
Well I can wait. I have quite a backlog.

Fortunately I wasn't a backer. But if I had been supporting them based on their release platform promises, I would have been really angry now. I have watched the announcment video on YouTube and you can tell that the man is really uncomfortable. Imagine having to tell the backers this news.

Interestingly, that was the only question I would have liked to ask him (in some q&a session). How he feels about it. Whether he feels embarassed, ashamed, or not. I'm genuinely curious, but I haven't watched any video, so that's one welcome element of answer.

For the rest, yeah, no big deal, no backer, but such things are indeed why I'm always happy to not be part of kickstarter projects.

It's ver similar. Except that the columns are labelled "Near Term (soon)", "Mid Term (soon)", "Long Term (soon)" and "Date TBD (but soon)".

Have you seen the " Price Adjusting Bundles " feature ?

Unlike Steam, GOG does that already.
So far, the only game I've ever really wanted to back was "Kingdom Come : Deliverance". And the devs never promised a DRM free version. They just stated they'd "look into it".
They finally decided to launch the game on GoG a couple of months after Steam.

It's a dick move from "Phoenix Point" devs. I understand that it's their game and EPIC money can be quite nice.
But EPIC exclusivity was never part of the initial pitch (there was not an EPIC store at the time, though) and I suppose the least they could do was have a poll and ask their backers if they'd be OK with it.

Actually, Steam has that too, but developers would have to set up their pages with it. There are two types of bundles, all-in-one bundles and "Complete Your Collection" bundles.

Who cares about backers when you have investors?
