If an indie dev decided to randomly start removing content a year after release, they would deserve to have it done to them too. You get more leeway as an indie, but it’s not a free pass.
No online games need to be about to do that. Like mmos that have events that change the game. They changed my comic I’ve been reading do i get all of them refunded?
To me it’s simply that you were promised to pay for a complete game. They didn’t tell you to pay for 3 modes for 2 years, and then the rest for a few more years, and then they shut down the servers.
This is what we call false advertising and a breach of contract. You can’t bury those things - they have to be apparent at purchase.
We wouldn’t do this to an indie studio, because indie studios don’t decide to remove features randomly 2y in. If they did, hell yes I would criticize them.
I agree and I absolutely will have a double standard here. Do it to a big studio and it’s a fun exploration of how far you can push a refund policy.
Do it to an indie dev and I’m ostracizing you.

I don’t care what size your studio is. If I pay for a product it is mine. If you start taking things away from that you owe my a refund.
How about AdmiralPatrick?
Who?
Former Lemming that developed Tesseract, and implemented a hidden blocklist in the Tesseract frontend.
Ah yes that idiot, fortunately I never used tesseract but yeah fuck him.
Same here, but I got one of the medallions for being on the block list, and your comment reminded me of him. Cheers!
Me too, greatest thing I ever received!

It’s not even that to me.
