Dev refuses to give previous purchasers steam keys, bans people and delete threads.

Fair enough. I guess it doesn't hurt to have one more person supporting the consumer. They most certainly have mishandled the situation. Excessive banning is never good.

Dracule didn't even mention free games, you troll.

It should have been stated as such, clearly. It wasn't. In fact, it seems deliberately vague.

You know, I can hardly remember any game that was in Indie Royale without giving out keys after being greenlit. On other hand Groupees had a few (Driftmoon and Legend of Dungeon) as far as I remember. But the devs quickly stated that they are giving out the demo, not the full game during the sale, so the community went cool with them. So, it's the wrong PR or a shitty character, I don't know. Actually I don't even care about the game. Carlmundo and the crew from WGN? do right things - you vote for the game, you help it appear on store - you get reward for promoting. This is the thing done right, ain't it? But if you promote your game, actually asking people to push it to the market and then just shug their shoulders saying "Dunno. We never told you would get anything. It was your choice to upvote us"...

"they never promissed keys when you purchased the bundle except for groupees"

That, sir, it pulled directly out of your ass. That is not, nor was it ever the quote. It's what they are claiming NOW, long after the fact. It's shady, plain and simple. Given how they have (mis)handled everything else, it doesn't bode well. Rewriting history to benefit those who lied doesn't help you, either.

there are so many retail versions of games, which later got on steam. for nearly none of them you can get steam keys. why does nobody complain about that? where is the difference? it should even be way worse, that you paid 60$ for a game and don't even get a key for the steam version, which was released years later. but in the case of a bundle game, which you effectively paid a few cents for, everybody screams out loud, how crappy the dev is and how he discriminates his customers. ^^

"not giving keys to previous owners is just a nasty move"

Why?

What? Like Clockian, I merely pointed out that some companies went above and beyond what was required of them in the name of good customer service. They deserve the good publicity for being good toward customers.

Rockin' Android is under no obligation to provide keys for all previous buyers. We are merely saying that a gesture of good will do good for the reputation of a company, especially if they are not doing it out of obligation. In the end, it's their decision.

If that's where you think that logic leads, you don't understand the logic even one tiny bit.

/facepalm

There is a huge difference between what you are suggesting and what the OP is posting about. While I think it is definitely not a major issue you are just being facetious and that isn't really warranted.

riiiight.....use your words
you just relinked the picture of the post they are saying happened after that other bundle.
and given me nothing that says they're wrong.

Still no context proof that dev was indeed talking about previous buyers in general.

yeah, again you answer nothing. i asked some very specific questions you have neatly ignored.

what was the context? show me what it was replying to it is very obviously a reply so where is the context?

and again I ask: that edit apparently did nothing to alter the original post, what are you claiming they altered?
Reading now it seems nothing sneaky happened there, nothing was changed or removed. a note was added and that is all. is this correct?

"Why delete a question asking what the reward was?": being stupid I expect. if they're like the example he linked(and the others i had found in google cache looking for his allegedly deleted promise#1) then they were essentially spreading misinformation (and making threats and trying to start a firestorm) some mod panicked. censorship only ever makes things worse 9_9 i donno
(what i do know is that the information we have been given here is fatally flawed at best:

• at least one thing the op said is an outright lie(that the promise was deleted(it is in fact publicly available for all to see in context but were discouraged from looking by a lie))
  -and another(promise #1 again) was not only taken out of context(in which its meaning was clear if he hadn't heavily cropped it) but presented in a way that implies a different false context
  -and he stated a technically true third fact(promise #1 was edited) in a deliberately extremely misleading way. it wasn't altered in any way. wording is intact. all they did was add a note, far from the damning shenanigans he implied.
  ...so I'm not inclined to believe the guy :/ he has proven untrustworthy. if he was right he wouldn't have to forge or manipulate proof.)

  ---

  although its also entirely possible that completely independent of this "evidence" one dev had intended to give keys and another decided not to and they tried to backpedal as he claimed. it just isn't shown here to anybody with half a mind to look into the information being presented. I can easily see that happening and it has happened before. promise 2 seems to support this version(i did eventually find that one too, seems legit despite the source...would have been nice to know it was on the greenlight forum from the start, why just the picture?)

Where is there any mention of keys being given in that pic ?

you linked the wrong one this time. that one from what i can tell was never edited

but lucky points for accidentally linking the one that was talking about indie royale and seams real (and not pointlessly shoring up the obvious bullshit one by restating misleading info and ignoring all else. push your strength(post 2), the weak one(everything else pretty much) should just be dropped entirely as its obviously false. combining the two only hurts your cause and has been this entire time, not only here but with the devs deleting the screencapped deleted threads. give it up already. argue where you can win)

@dreadpirater re:"Manipulating the information was actually done by the devs. When asked if Steam keys would be given they said to all bundle buyers. Editing their statement at a later time to add in they only meant Groupees buyers."

manipulating the information was done by meowish.
in context that was a reply to a question about groupees in a thread specifically about groupee buyers. the thread is still up. look for yourself http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/105716878/630802979515231309/#p1
the edit was stupid but compare it to the screencap and all the text is exactly the same, just the note is new.
