People complaining about a price increase can blow it out of their arse. The game is fantastic, it has improved every time an update has come, and there has been such hype surrounding this game. We've only been playing the beginning of this game with its immense lore and story hidden behind everything. The love and care going into the game is EASILY worth the price tag.

Stop complaining, appreciate art for what it is, and pay the people the $30 now so you can stop worrying about an additional money it will eventually cost. Be happy they told you.

Looking forward to the last public update behind all doors close. I've played every update and am very much in love with this game. It keeps gettintg better and better (unlike Hello Neighbor which is slowly sliding down a mountain side)
What a nice guy .

Well, a Steam user being a total rectum pain... not really news, here. The sheer mass of arrogant scrotumclasts there is beyond my counting ability. As it is almost everywhere on the Internet, actually.

I'm not sure what's worse: The fact that Painted_Doll deemed it necessary to copy a rude Steam user post over here -- like we don't have enough rude posts of our own on the forum -- or the fact that you're implying all ( or most ) Steam users are assholes. After all, pretty much any gamer these days uses Steam at least to some extent. Like you said yourself, there are people like him anywhere. And given the state the GOG forum has been in for at least a year, we don't have much moral high ground left...

Besides, even if he's being kinda rude about it, he's just defending a game and dev he likes. If nothing else, at least he's got good intentions. *shrug*

I don't want to give the wrong idea, I'm not implying anything (and I don't know what makes you think so). I just said that on Steam rude users are a lot. That's it, nothing hidden or new there. Jerks are everywhere, I was just pointing out that in some places there are more, not because Steam is inherently bad, but because, well, the more people there are, the more rotten apples appear, and since Valve has millions of customers is only natural to see more awful replies there than in another place.
The same has happened to GOG after its massive user base increase, though it is still not that bad.

Besides, who cares about the intentions: if you act like an ass, you are an ass, period.

Just wanted to emphasize that it's more of a human problem, rather than a Steam problem specifically. And maybe it's more of a problem on the web, since people abuse their anonymity. Community size seems to be a factor, since GOG used to be a nicer place too, as you pointed out yourself, before that whole Witcher 3 hype, Galaxy etc.

I still think this particular post isn't so bad, though. It's mostly just the first line that's rude, in the rest of his post he just praises the game, and goes on about how he thinks it's worthy of the price tag. It would be a different story if it was a developer post, but as far as user posts go, I've seen far worse right here on this forum.

Just been looking at the videos and such like n this as t was on my wish list. Bit of a shame really, I quite like the look, reminded me very much of bioshock. Anyways, at the money it currently is I wouldn't even consider buying it, I don't buy pre-order, the two times I have ne has yet to be finished and the other is corsair: man of war (enough said?) so I have zero faith in any kind of pre-order based on experience. Now I don't mind paying for a good game, dung Light was expensive, but had background as dead island was excellent, so it was a reasonable gamble on cost/return. This has nothing behind it, isn't anywhere near done by the reviews, and they are already needing more money. How on earth can this be a promising scenario, with high profile fails like no mans sky it's simply a giant red flag and as such gets dropped from my wish list.

That's dying light by the way, apologies for the typos, the forum is so broken on mobile I can't even edit posts now!

Dung Light is a fun typo though. :D

I'd say keep it on your wishlist, if you're interested in the game. Just wait for some proper post-release reviews and some price discounts somewhere down the line. If the release version turns out to be broken, or just plain mediocre, you can still kick it off your list.

50$.. luckly I'm not that interested in that game.
Also, its Early Access was quite underwhelming..

metricfun: From the developer's website:

"Since we launched our Kickstarter and released the game on Early Access, We Happy Few has been priced at US$29.99. We have never put it on sale because we believe it isn’t fair for someone to get the game at a lower price than a Kickstarter backer or an Early Access backer while the game is still in development."
Not quite true, actually. It's $12.99 for me. Because regoinal pricing = FAIRNESS! So technically he should've said "We have never put it on sale unless you happen to be located in a country where piracy is rampant in which case have this awesome 50% discount! You're welcome! Because we believe the suc... I mean backers who pledged on Kickstarter won't mind." ;P

Speaking of which: Is this thing even worth the regionally discounted ten bux? On the one hand the gameplay looked like utter shit and I don't want to give money to this pompous blowhard, on the other hand an 80% discount DOES sound tempting.

Still says $29.99 here at GoG. I wonder if they're going to honour that pricing and/or if it will be changed.

drmike: Still says $29.99 here at GoG. I wonder if they're going to honour that pricing and/or if it will be changed.
My guess is that the price will raise on GOG, as well, seeing as Compulsion are trying to be "so fair" towards their Kickstarter backers and Early Access supporters by "never having lowered their game's price so no one would be able to buy it for less than KS backers paid for it". Raising the price on Steam but not on GOG wouldn't be "fair".

On a more serious note, though, it's most likely going to be $51 on GOG, too. It wouldn't make much sense to raise the price on one store and leave it untouched on another one. Interplay just recently upped the prices of all their games, both on GOG and Steam.

I could be wrong, I guess we'll have to wait until the 16th to find out. But it really makes no sense to leave the GOG price as it is; there's also probably some legal stuff tied to that.

Just had a message from the devs.

https://www.gog.com/forum/we_happy_few/weekly_journal_20170804_august_update_date_and_price_heads_up/post3

My experience of the Devs so far is they've been open and honest so, I'm willing to wait and see before passing judgement.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that most of the gameplay of this game has nothing to do with telling a story. The opening scene when you quit your job and then get attacked probably accounts for 85%+ of the story.

"Procedural generation" is the antithesis to good storytelling.

Probably the reason why that Steambro thought the story is "hidden behind everything" is because he couldn't find it because it's not there, yet he assumes he's going to find it in the full game even though it probably isn't there either.

Wait never mind, it has nothing to so with the post. XD

Someone is really bored.

As far as I know the Story elements haven't been added, what will exist is background and filler stories from quests.

I believe, while the world is procedural, main story events and related areas are hand crafted.
