If you fancy a laugh, check out this:

If you are not aware, Starforge was "released" the other week - as version 1.0 - non alpha/beta - FULL COMPLETE GAME. I had a quick go in it and was not too impressed. It seemed very unpolished and unfinished - not like a completed game at all. Infact, if we were to compare other early access games like 7DTD, Kerbal or Space Engineers to it, it was far far worse than these.

I posted a comment on their post about it being released as a "full game". It went something like this (I don't know for sure as it was deleted):

"The game is so far from finished that it feels like dragging a turd through the mud. Where is my refund?"

I then found that I had been permanently banned from all Steam forums regarding the game for "trolling" and removed from their official Steam group! They are basically trying to silence anyone that speaks ill of their game, since they know it is a failure - they have banned countless people for speaking their mind on their own forums - and Steams.

Apparently, they even banned former employees from their forums, for telling the truth about them and the game itself. It seems to me like this developer is extremely dodgey - stay away from them at all costs.

Here are some must reads:

Former community manager laid off and then banned  
More info regarding the above 
And the full redit post from the community manager here 

In short - don't ever buy this game or anything made by CodeHatch.

I think you have talked me out of trying that one!

Good. If it saves you from wasting your money like I have, then mission accomplished. That's 2 early access games that I have been burned by. Survivor Squad I didn't mind too much, since it was 2 squid. This however, is taking the biscuit.

Guess I should have learnt my lesson now!
