They would have, but the publisher has agreed to give refunds to anyone who wants one.

Edit: someone else posted sources but here is another one as well

Really? If that's true that would be the most bizzare thing about the whole situation tbh. Not in a bad way though.

Do you have a source?

"We are sorry for the fact that the game didn't meet the expectations of the majority of the players," reads a statement from Mytona, noting it's an investor in the game.

"Today we will work with Steam to open up refunds for any players who choose to make a refund. We're in contact with Fntastic regarding the future of the game."

Answer to those who ask for a refund. Mytona and we're currently working with Steam to allow refunds for any player who chooses to request one, regardless of game time. Fntastic received $0 and will receive nothing from The Day Before sales.

This is absolutely crazy. It's good to see but the whole thing doesn't make any sense to me

[–] Kainsley@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

To clarify, it's the publisher not the Devs. They are also likely victims here.
