What? I thought Greenlight didn't even exist anymore! Valve has been talking about shelving it for literally the past 3-4 years - how haven't they gotten around to it yet?

Does it have romance? Asking for a friend

They're probably waiting for some modder to remove it, then buy the rights or the modding team and pretend they removed it on their own.

 

And people will be raving about how the great Gaben delivered them from the terrors of Greenlight.

[HoonDing]

Looks like a fun game.

[Vaeliorin]

I just...wow.  I wonder if he'll actually release it this time.

 

The new menu art is too clean, though.

[Hurlshort]

Glad to see they enlisted Prosper to do some of the art.

[kirottu]

I don't man. I've heard from a reliable source the game still has five micro issues.

600 hours of play???!! DEAR GOD WHY??? The most I have in a game is probably 120 hours, even upon completing The Witcher 3 multiple times wasn't even 120 hours.

Greenlight does not exist anymore, just FYI. They just went through eveything that was already submitted and clicked 'approve'.

Grimoire made it through long ago.

[Vaeliorin]

I still won't believe it until people are actually playing it.

[SonicMage117]

No hope now. Valve finally closed Greenlight and now Valve Direct is happening which is going to be amazing for pc gaming. Think of it as Nintendo's seal of quality approval <3

[the_dog_days]

Apparently this is supposed to release at 7PM CT tonight (for reference, it is 12:37-ish CT as of posting this).

[HoonDing]

how long can you keep conning until Gaben kicks you off Steam?

Dang near infinite if you're good at it.

[SonicMage117]

Not only doed it look absolutely horrid but it's going to be priced at $40 with 10% off at launch so says the official page anyway. 2 hours ago it said "This game will unlock in 1 hour". Even though I'm not interested in buying this game I am interested in seeing the initial reaction for people who are interested in purchasing it, savvy?

 

Another user made a good point recently saying:

 

"I was going to buy it until I read that the dev said the game was in development for over 20 years, which is hard to believe..."

 

How do you all feel about that?

[Hurlshort]

Hah, said 1 hour to unlock awhile ago, now it says coming soon. This is probably the most interesting game development since BattleCruiser 3000AD.

Reviews to follow... in about five years.

[IndiraLightfoot]

Well, now it's passed Steam's next update/release window, but I can wait. If something has been in development for two decades, a few days aren't exactly a problem.

 

Interestingly, during a few minutes, the game was actually tagged as available:

I never believed the lie, never will but those Steam forums are full of intelligent and often hilarious content from random people.

I got a buddy with 700 hours on Rocket League.

I spent over 10k hours on World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic and some thousands of hours on Quake World and Quake 3 Arena. Apples and oranges a bit, no?
