The fanbase attacking anyone for being unhappy about being scammed, Mecron's usually passive-aggressive childish behavior, and well, the broken release of the "game" did it for me. When Mecron whines about not putting out a broken feature list after such a horrible attempt at a launch (because it would give folks "ammo to attack him for releasing an incomplete game"), it makes it really hard to think that they are going to (or are competent enough to) follow through with finishing the game.The behavior of both companies in the SOTS ][ debacle, and especially in recent days, is deplorable, and unacceptable.
GamersGate continues to perform as my favorite online distributor, worth recommending to anyone.
They are censoring a lot of reviews about how incomplete SotS II still is at the current time. That makes it unlikely I will be purchasing much from them in the foreseeable future.
Yeah, they censored mine too.
However, they also refunded the purchase where apparently (judging solely from forum posts) steam and the rest have yet to do so.
It's an issue of what's more important to me.
I bought my preorder from there as well, but still no update or refund.
And I am sorry, but I find their lack of concern about selling incomplete, unstable software pretty disappointing.
Erm, really? I've been playing Skyrim since release. Total crashes: zero. Hours played: 21. Total non-functional features: 0. Total minor non-game-stopping trivial bugs: 1. Total snark from them: 0.It's disappointing, but it doesn't lower their standing relative to anyone else since everyone's doing it.

Skyrim a sole exception? Not really. DA2: 100+ hrs, 0 crashes, no important bugs. Witcher 2: 42+ hrs, no bugs of any note while I played it through. Mass Effect 1 and 2: hundreds of happy hours. Total War: Shogun 2 - hundreds of happy hours. Civilization V: Some major issues with the direction they've taken the franchise, and some performance issues, and some relatively minor bugs - no broken saves, no non-functional features, no UI that only a mother could love...
Sorry, but "everyone" does not engage in jerking off their customers with premature software release. A few companies engage in it over and over and don't seem to learn from their mistakes. And there are always new companies that get it wrong the first time, sometimes because of their publisher pushing bad code out the door, and sometimes because the development house didn't know how to manage their software project: leading to feature bloat, overruns, buggy core that was impossible to debug and maintain, etc.
