Did they fully refund the handful of players who purchased the game only to have it taken offline basically immediately?
iirc their previous post about it mentioned refunding everyone.
You say "handful", but it still hand thousands of players, and the thing that makes me sad about this screw up is that of those who played it, it was probably someone's favourite game…
…Is what I was going to say, until I looked at the Steam charts. It hit an all-time peak of 607 players, with estimates of total ownership ranging from 9.5k to 25.1k. It very well still may have been someone's favourite game and I feel really sad for them that it's gone, but wow the game still did so much worse than even my expectations based on the reporting.
