    I don’t understand why everyone is calling it a scam. Everyone got refunded, right? Seems like they just had a better marketing team than development team.

      Just because they started giving out refunds because of public outcry doesn’t mean it wasn’t a scam.

      There are some games which under deliver or are broken on release, but this was barely a game- yet they shipped it anyway.

        It’s not the studio that handles refunds, it’s Steam. They hold onto the money for a while after a sale is made, and didn’t even have a chance to hand it over before the studio died.
