In Predictable Fashion The Day Before Disappoints on Early Access Launch Day | MMOWTF | Opinion | MMORPG.com
Despite numerous delays and even a legal challenge, the developers at Fntastic persevered, and now that Early Access is live, the veil has dropped and we're now starting to see exactly what we expected.

This all I needed to read.

What makes you think it's a new company?
This is a company with several releases, so it has a track record of lousy launches, and abandoning games shortly after arrival.
Kinda makes it that much worse when you realize they aren't new.
Everyone saw this coming, yet idiot gamers still lined up to throw money at them.

Oh C'mon...even the trailer was absolute shite and made no sense.
Because there aren't any laws any where regarding what genre or sub-genre you decide to call your video game!? There's nothing wrong with saying something or adding to the conversation on a topic where you have nothing invested. If you're going to, though, please at least do one or the other if not both...
Actually in the USA bait and switch does apply to online sales along with brick and mortar, check the FTC laws genius. My uncle has prosecuted 2 cases of online fraud due to bait and switch tactics. So kindly STFU about things you obviously know nothing about. Just say you're a shill for the company and kindly move on. This "game" is downright fraud based on their own advertising. Hell their steam promo video (still up as of earlier today) calls it an open world survival MMO. Their steam video still shows off features they claim are in the game but aren't. And your moronic take that I can't comment on it since I didn't buy this fraudulent piece of software, because I actually have a functioning brain and eyes that easily showed me what garbage this was from the beginning, might be the most imbecilic take on these forums in 2023.
Then yesterday I didn't expect the "make it through" would mean instead of co-op Division-ish survival game they would release an empty of zombies, small mapped, full PvP extraction game. Bummer.
Luckily I was watching a streamer when he suddenly got ganked. Almost clicked the buy button!

Steam's early access tells clearly that it is incomplete, but since there are no warnings about functionality, the game and all the parts in it must work just like all other games must work.
Also marketing information must be correct. Most importantly, Steam's product description and screenshots must describe the game as it is now. The sellers can optionally also release information on what their plans for the game's future are, but they may not claim that the game includes something before they've actually implemented it.
