Comment has been collapsed.
Yup and for that "FU" behavior i gave them the fitting answer...
Oh and they reached this goal as only publisher that not sell crap. So "congratulations" to them for this "Milestone".

EDIT:
The Season Pass Version is still not the newest, full, version!
So think twice if you want to spend money on it.
EDIT 2:
As someone else wrote:
"It seems the HB version won't have any support. Suffice it to say that it still does not have an offline regime (= no offline play)."
EDIT 3:
They f*cked PS4 buyers as well.
Anyone who bought Complete / game and DLC's need to buy the identical Ultimate Edition for PS5 upgrade.

What do you mean? The full version should be the base game plus the two DLCs iirc
Comment has been collapsed.
There are several new files in there. For example, those that provide the ability to play offline)))
These are fundamental different versions of the game.

Alright, that sounds fishy enough for me. Possible scam for HB users I guess

What's wrong with these guys?
I can't buy on Humble.

I read your post about the payment issues, can't you add a bank account to paypal or topup through a service? As long as there is wallet money it won't ask about a creditcard, like i put enough for a year of humble choice in my wallet, then i could buy it, otherwise it would have asked me for a credit card too, but we are a country where it isn't used much either.
Comment has been collapsed.
In my old acc, I could add my PP with bank acc. Now they want a CC.
That's pretty strange.
My buddy has the same problem from Switzerland. And he have connect the bank acc. + it is his main Humble Acc.

I remember the good old days when even subscriptions worked without a card. Now you can have thousands in your balance and you won't pay / buy without adding a card.
And now the funny part: I have my friend's card attached to my pp account and I can still pay for subscriptions with the balance.
PP security standards: you can use someone else's payment card.
Comment has been collapsed.
And you / him have tried depositing money from your bankaccount to paypal so that you have enough for something to purchase in a paypal wallet?
As i said i also got asked for a CC with humble choice, but when i deposited 100+ euro in my paypal wallet it didn't and the purchase went through, doesn't hurt to ask your friend if he tried that.
Try that first please, if he tried that and not working but he can atleast send money on paypal to others, hit me up and maybe i can help.

What a bunch of douchebags! Now I am sitting here thinking whether I buy the damn season pass or simply play what I have and not give them any more of my money. Why the hell did Remedy agree to this?

The DLCs are more miss than hit from what I've understood.

In my opinion the Foundation DLC is well worth the purchase, the Alan Wake crossover on the other hand is rushed and almost completely devoid of original content.
Comment has been collapsed.
True the Alan Wake dlc is really disappointing, not worth even for big fans of Alan Wake.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1... just finish the game plus DLCs a few days ago. and the fundation Is long, its a full new map with a lot of things to do.
the bad thing Is that the Alan wake cross over Is More a steal from the name AND the nostalgia than something new
Comment has been collapsed.
I am guessing they just put together whatever they had when covid hit and released it. It felt like AWE had less than half the content of the first DLC. There weren't even any darkness based enemies, like everyone expected, plus the story kind of undermines the main narrative.
Comment has been collapsed.
Easy question....
Did you want support douchebags with purchasing something from them ?
Special if it isn't the full version in the end and still have differences (like no offline mode)
Comment has been collapsed.
All true! However, I do hate having only half of the stuff I intend to play, hence my dilemma.
Comment has been collapsed.
Another thing to know is that the version that was in the Humble monthly doesn't work offline either. They really don't like us much.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh well I'm glad I picked up the season pass while I could because I wasn't 100% sure I would ever buy it normally let alone twice

In my book, this game has been ultra fishy from the day it was announced as a lesser version out of nowhere for the HB monthly...
Comment has been collapsed.
As the choice was realised the changes were kinda meh and i am sure a lot had a closer eye on it but the new situation (removed season pass and you will have to buy whole game again + the Season Pass at HB still don't provide offline play) is not something on the edge. It's a complete dickmove from 505.
And for that they got my "Ignore this publisher"
They f*cked PS4 buyers as well.

Don't forget to link to Humble's Season Pass which contains both expansions.

Is it just me or was the sale on Humble extended? When it started it was only gonna last a month, but now it says 32 days
Comment has been collapsed.
Is that mean if you have the HB version of the game, you will need to buy Ultimate Edition again for the DLC's?
Comment has been collapsed.
right now you can buy the DLCs on HB if you got the Steam version, I kinda suspect they will run out of the keys fast. If you have the Epic version, most stores still sell DLCs for Epic or you can buy them directly on Epic. Only Steam cusotmers got screwed over.
Comment has been collapsed.
They'll probably bring it back after the backlash, if not it just proves 505 Games is a shitty publisher and I'll never buy another game from them again.
Comment has been collapsed.
def not a coincidence. they add it right as the hb monthly releases, then remove it after. at least they're offering the season pass for ~$6 for the next 32 days. i know it feels easy for some people to immediately get upset over this whole fiasco, but from where i see it we still got a great deal. $12 for an unbundled triple-a $30 game (plus 11 other games), with the option to buy the season pass for $6.37.. all in all really isn't bad at all. there are a shitload of people that paid the full $30 price tag (or more) and got way less.
that being said, i think they way they handled it was pretty scummy. like the whole naming thing. i don't really know how the steam backend works, but it just feels lazy the way they did it. still calling it the ultimate edition when it wasn't.. couldn't they just have made a new store page? would that cost them a whopping extra $100 or something they didn't wanna fork out? i don't know, maybe they should've just included the season pass anyway? maybe sales had dipped so low they figured they'd offer it cheap on a humble monthly then try to make a few extra bucks from people buying that $6 season pass?
Comment has been collapsed.
You are correct with the price but the handling is, like you said scummy.
As the choice was realised the changes were kinda meh and i am sure a lot had a closer eye on it but the new situation (removed season pass and you will have to buy whole game again + the Season Pass at HB still don't provide offline play [so it is in the end still not the same game]) is not something on the edge. It's a complete dickmove from 505.
And for that they got my "Ignore this publisher".
The first Publisher that reached that goal, without to publish crap and it is very sad.
But in the end i can only tell them with my money purse what i, as customer, like + accept and what not.
And the HB thing wasn't the only "bad move" from them with Control.
They f*cked PS4 buyers as well.

So never worry about getting the dlc? Sounds good.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe after a backlash they will change the Steam version and will make the DLCs to be active for anyone that has the game? As it looks like either they try to pull out a scam or they don't know what they are doing anymore.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fascinating - I would like to meet the genius who thought of this clusterfuck of events that preceded putting the game in bundle. If they are so fiercely against bundles why the fuck did they even bundled the game ? Are they from mars or something ? It's not like bundles haven't been around for ages. Acting like they where forced and didn't know what will happen after bundling the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
And the game (full, regular version) is on game pass. I find it hard to believe being in a Humble monthly is that much worse of a deal compared to being on game pass.
Edit: game pass version is also not the ultimate version.
Comment has been collapsed.
It feels like they have no idea what they are doing and just doing something for the sake of doing.
Like they left a temp with bad attitude at the wheel and he's just pumping out one bad idea after another without any backing logic to it.
I mean when has stabbing it's costumers in the back worked for any company. Especially on the internet where every little mistake and change is found out even before they manage to do any official statement. Are they so out of touch with the world they didn't realize people would poke into the games files, find it's downgraded version ? That they could simply make users of base game force to buy the whole game another time to earn more without anyone noticing ? ... I'm seriously baffled by the logic of any of this. there have been of course many developer "fuck you" moves to costumer where costumers gets the short end of the straw..... but that's usually just business being business. How idea of doing this to the game ever came up in a board meeting and they approved is beyond me. Only scenario I can imagine is if the board or whoever is responsible is full of middle aged arrogant fucks who have never even played a single game. It feels like there must have been someone pointing out "hey guys, this is stupid and unnecessarily complicated"
Comment has been collapsed.
If i get to that point, I'll just get gamepass and play Control + others, I don't really plan to give more money to the publisher. This is sad - so much hassle to promote the bundle, then confusion about breaking the complete game into two for the bundle, then removing then from the store... a PR nightmare.
Comment has been collapsed.
which game pass is that please? I thought you mean the Xbox game pass for PC, but I looked at it and it says "Control Standard Edition" and offers me to buy the DLCs for it.... is the ultimate edition available in another pass that I could get?
Comment has been collapsed.
You're right. I just looked on the pcgamingwiki page and assumed it was the ultimate edition. But it's not. My bad.
Comment has been collapsed.
too bad, I thought that I would get the game pass just to avoid giving them any more money directly, and still get to play the DLCs. I guess I will just be stuck with an incomplete product, oh well. They did us dirty on this one
Comment has been collapsed.
but the DLCs can still be purchased at most stores, as long as you got the Epic version, only Steam customers got screwed over by the devs... most stores I checked still sell the DLCs but only as Epic keys. Is it a conincidence that Remedy (the dev) is apparently working on Alan Wake 2 in cooperation with Epic Games, and now everybody who got Control for Steam and not Epic got royally screwed over? I hope it's just a coincidence, but I don't like this one bit. With the sale extended at HB, I worry HB will soon stop selling the Steam version as well, and this is a last ditch attempt to give Steam users a last shot to get the DLCs

Looks way too convenient for Epic to be a coincidence. They've already demonstrated they have nothing against scummy practices to knock off the competition so I wouldn't put it past them to pressure Remedy to do something like that to Steam users.
They're not scoring points for loyalty, that's for sure.
Comment has been collapsed.
Great, now I feel like my Steam profile is cursed... (check image)
Also, it would be nice if OP could do a pool to see who's interested in buying the Season Pass to complete their edition.
On one hand I would like to complete my edition for good and make sure I don't get fooled by 505 next time they try to repeat the same thing. On the other hand, it's kinda hard to support a publisher that has a shady record, even tho Remedy (the devs) have nothing to do with their shady ways of doing business.
Also, do you think there's any chance we might get an official answer from 505?
I really like the game, but I'm really not sure what to do. That's why I'm curious if most of you are buying the SP or not...
Comment has been collapsed.
Too late to do a poll now, maybe a new special thread? Personally i bought it way before this happened, i think more people will rather want to complete their game and maybe next time avoid the publisher rather then not buy it at all.
People choosing between their own (interest) versus morality, you know what often wins.
Comment has been collapsed.
They really want people to buy their damn dlcs with some FOMO tactic. Thanks Lugum for the heads up, i know now that i must play the base game before the season pass on HB expire and decide if it is worth it to buy it.
Even Square handled their "definitive" edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider better than the morons of 505 games.

duck move
and they told people to stay away from piracy, but what do we get???

Humble just sold a DEMO version, they just forgot to rename it to Control Demo. Limited Edition in the most true sense of the word. Limited game. Limited supply. Limited window buy time. Limited functionality. Limited updates. Limited update support.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your moaning, though, is unlimited.
Can't you just be happy you got a good game for little money and move on?
Yes, it's a stupid move to remove the DLCs but saying the base game is a demo is a bit silly, if I may.

The HB version will not receive patches, updates, or dls. This is definitely a bad version, 505 games very much and badly threw gamers.
Comment has been collapsed.
There were no updates or patches since December '19, so you aren't missing out on anything besides DLC.
Comment has been collapsed.
The humble version came without directx 11 support, which was later added in a patch. But you still can't play it offline, it seems (I haven't tried it myself). So we are actually losing a lot.

Now we have the rare collectors edition of Control Ultimate that cant be obtained anywhere else lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, this effectively convinced me to stay from Humble for good. Seems like I dodged a bullet here. I'd be royally screwed and end up with a version of a game that can't be upgraded or updated at all. Sounds lovely.
