While this may seem a drastic move, it is a logical one for a situation one could aptly term as a disaster. If one were to go even further, he or she could even term it as predation on customers, as many gamers are calling the actions of the developers, InterWave Studios. Dark Matter has been lambasted over the last two days for cutting off suddenly and randomly at the mid-way point of a normal game, giving a half-assed reason as to this. When it was later revealed as a ploy to make the game an episodic adventure, the internet, predictably, flipped their collective wig.

The results are strewn before you. Steam has pulled the game, throwing up a notice stating: "Currently there is a known issue at the end of the game. The developer is aware of the issue and they are working on a patch as a solution." Tough. GoG is offering refunds instead, stating that it is only a "first half" of a story.

This whole debacle it seems has taught us something about the gaming industry though - while normally it is the big company that wrongs its customers, it seems that smaller developers are no strangers to these actions either. Let us hope they do not happen again.
